It really sucks that they can change this impound stuff at the last minute. I wondered because I have it listed as a normal qualifying race with NO impound in my notes!!

We're in full Silly-Season mode. The morning update from Jayski -

• The planned 2006 testing regimen (leased tires, limited testing by manufacturer instead of by team) appears to be DOA thanks to the Kentucky Speedway lawsuit against NASCAR/ISC.
• Jon Wood has been set free from his Roush contract (he had been on loan to ST Motorsports); that frees him up to join the family business.
• Bill Davis, the leader of Toyota's NASCAR efforts, scoffed at the reported test of the Toyota Camry at AMS next week and said that there only that there would be an announement about Toyota's ventures "in the near future".
• McMurray has finally stopped thinking about using the Flash method of anger management on Kenseth and wants a truce.
• NAPA is likely to go with Mikey because they want an unobtainable driver to sign with DEI.
• Speaking of DEI, the Jrs (Earnhardt and Eury) will be back together in 2006.
