Speaking of changing drivers, we have quite a few up for contract extensions. So why not start silly season now. :D

Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, Casey Mears, Ryan Newman and Martin Truex & Labonte OH.... and Tony Stewart.

Now, let me say I've heard rumors of a change at Hendrick, NO not any of the J's.............but the important spots to fill are at RCR with their 4th car and if a spot opens at Hendrick. Biffle seems to be happier with his car this year, so he may stay at Roush and I don't see Opie leaving either. Truex is IMO a definite get me outta here candidate. Any smart team owner would definitely go after him. A switch with Tony and Casey may be a good thing.

Not very consistent if you ask me.

Actually it's the same penalty as last year for a height infraction. For some reason they pass pre-inspection but don't stay that way.

Yes, I believe it was Edwards last year. I’ve read that since I posted that.

Apparently the height of the rear quarter panel is not as severe an infraction as illegal parts, body configuration and oil cooler covers etc. when Nascar says don’t mess with the COT.

I read that somewhere yesterday, probably Jayski. I think Jeremy wanted out of that....Haas said something about not being able to provide him with the proper equipment.

Here is the exact wording...”Jeremy’s proven resume behind the wheel of a Cup car was a real benefit to our team,” team general manager Joe Custer said. “He stepped into the seat and did everything we asked him to and more. Ultimately, we were unable to provide him with the right balance, handling and speed he needed to be successful,” he added. “We wish Jeremy nothing but the best for his future.”(Haas CNC Racing)(4-8-2008)

Johnson, founder and chairman of the RLJ Companies and the Black Entertainment Network; John E. Pepper Jr., retired chairman and CEO of Procter & Gamble; and Meg Whitman, president and CEO of eBay.

Remembering Brienne Davis
Sad, sad news today about the death of NASCAR inspector Brienne Davis (Charlotte Observer story here.)

She was a fun young woman and each track will be less bright without her. She first came to NC to work in the engine department at Dale Earnhardt Inc. Her dream was to be the first female over-the-wall crewmember in the Cup series, and while I'm not sure why it didn't happen (she certainly had the physique for it and was probably stronger than most of the guys on pit lane), she left DEI to work as an inspector for NASCAR. While she was at DEI, Benny Parsons did a nice behind-the-scenes feature about her several years ago, and I hope that piece will be shown again to remind everyone about her (and Benny too, for that matter). She loved Elvis, was always good for a laugh or twelve and her passing is a sober reminder that danger exists well beyond the bounds of the race track. We'll miss her.

Is it me or is FR all screwed up?

I can't set my preferences.

For example I don't want to look at paragraphs on the articles page, just titles. Those paragraphs are very annoying but every time I reset my preferences it just gets over ridden and I'm stuck looking at paragraphs.

If you click on headers next to “Brevity” you will get the short version.

Yep, its just you! lol

There have been a whole lotta changes and config revisions. All to the best as far as I can see. But you should set prefs and make it work for your set up.

Thanks, I didn't even notice that. The option use to be on the preference page but this morning I noticed it wasn't there anymore.

I hated those damn paragraphs.
