--To be fair, that wasn't the first time that two guys influenced by beer (companies) wound up in an argument with an AARP member.
--Last week's race at Texas started with 400 miles of dullness, followed by 100 miles of drama. Would shortening the total race distance just get rid of the dullness, or would the drama suffer too? I dunno, but it couldn't hurt to try!
--The oddity of this round of the Chase (so far) has been having both races won by drivers who have already been eliminated. It wasn't surprising that they both race for Hendrick Motorsports--that's pretty much par for the course. As is Nascar messing with something and getting terrible results.
--Roush Fenway Racing has made some significant front-office changes headed into the offseason. This as opposed to, you know, trying to make changes headed into the ACTUAL season.
--Nice to know that Hendrick is paying its crew members' fines. I'm guessing they'll just have to work a little "voluntary overtime" to pay them back.
