That they are.
Here's a little blurb from one of last years restrictor plate races. BTW Smoke was in a BIG wreck at the Chili Bowl today, they took him to the hospital. I'm gonna go check for updates now.
Here's Jr!!!!!
Stevie Reeves (spotter): “The 20 (Tony Stewart) was lookin’ for ya out there. He was looking to help you get in line…”
Dale Jr.: “Tell him I don’t wanna be in line. I wanna have fun.”
Smoke gets hurt and the Redskins are losing. Phooey!

NEXTEL Cup Series champion Tony Stewart injured his arm after flipping his midget car at Friday night's preliminary action in the annual Chili Bowl, the second time he has wound up upside down this week at the indoor event.
Stewart took a wild ride down the backstretch on the opening lap of his qualifying event on Friday. After making contact with the wall, he flipped three times before coming to a stop.
Stewart complained of pain in his arm after the incident. He was assisted out of his car and taken to a Tulsa hospital for observation.
X-rays revealed no broken bones and a CT scan proved negative. In a precautionary measure, Stewart was fitted with a cast until a more extensive evaluation can be made by his own doctors on Monday.
"I'm a little sore," said Stewart. "The doctors were great and did a pretty thorough evaluation of me. They didn't find anything broken, but just to be sure, they fitted me with a cast that I'll wear until I meet with my doctors on Monday. It looks a lot worse than it is. "In no way should this affect my upcoming test at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, my plans to compete in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona or my participation in Daytona Speedweeks."
It was the second time Stewart found himself upside down this week in Chili Bowl action. He also flipped in Wednesday night's opening round.
