RE: FRFL and picking Gordon this week

It seems none of you are "getting it."

You know when there is a late yellow and the followers do the opposite of the leader? "If he stays out, they come in; If he comes in, they stay out." That is what this week's strategy is in the FRFL -- it is like a late yellow.

The leaders are going to take Gordon. It is the time for those of us in the back of the pack to try and make up ground by picking someone else. . . .or remain behind the leaders.

Asked by NASCAR broadcaster NBC about the significance of his fifth victory at Talladega, Earnhardt said, "It don't mean s--- right now. Daddy's won here 10 times."

Profanity police?

Debate over NASCAR's stance on questionable language still fierce

I'm slightly-remiss in not posting the entry lists earlier, but with Carl Long dropping out of the Brickyard 40..er, Allstate 400, maybe it was a good thing.

[Texas Eagle]

Jimmy Spencer's qualifying crash is seriously disconcerting.

If that had happened on race day or during practice, there could be more than just a couple of people killed.

Indianapolis needs to re-configure the entrance into pit road.
