Meanwhile, the Jayski news-and-rumor mill is alive and kicking -

• Dale Earnhardt Jr, who had wrist surgery a few days ago, will not miss Daytona testing.
• Bobby Hamilton Jr will likely stay at the Tide Slide (rumors had been he was released and that either Travis Kvapil or Ricky Craven would go in)
• Morgan Shepherd won the 4th-quarter National Motorsports Press Association/Pocono Spirit Award (Michael and Buffy Waltrip won the first quarter, Jeff Gordon won the 2nd quarter, and the NASCAR community won the 3rd quarter). The winner of the year will be announced at the NMPA convention in January.
• Going back to the #4, Todd Bodine turned them down, and Kvapil's name has entered the sweepstakes. Scott Wimmer is still the leading candidate.

I was wondering why Hamilton's name was still on the 32 team roster. Thanks for answering that.

I did see the accident report but didn't post it for two reasons, the one you gave and I didn't see which 30 races they took that from. I'm thinking it must have been 05 since the #8 car was on that list. I don't remember him having that many problems previously.
