Also - if my cats had furballs as often as Tony Stewart seems to, my carpet would be a mess. Will someone keep an eye on what that boy's eating (hard as that may be?) First Watkins Glen, now this.. come on, guy. Lay off the sushi.

Liked the "Wide Open Coverage." But the very long ads do wear — my wife noticed on about the third break how long the ads were and how irritating they were getting (and she was not watching the race).

Love what Kyle Petty brings to the booth — he's not DW, but he's in the ballpark. He makes Weber much less irritating.

Didn't like the several veiled references to a feud between the Busch Brothers without anybody directly asking about it, or bringing up the irony that a Busch was pushing a R-FR car while a R-FR car was pushing a Busch in the other lane.

The NBA's game on this is a crime. I will not watch another NBA game until David Stern is out of office.

What exactly will 300 feet do to make it safer?

Rest in peace, buddy. You taught a lot of kids about respecting the desert, and not overlooking what's out there.

How about that In-Bee Park?!?!?

The irony here is this — if he's pissed off Raggio this much, the 2009 Legislature may finally unite the North and South under the common goal of getting veto-proof majorities to render Gibbons irrelevant.

Nice blogs Rene. You write better than Chris Maathuis.

Very, very disappointed in Dina's maneuver. Nevada's gas tax should be going up if anything, as higher MPG vehicles means a decrease in gas purchases without a dramatic drop in driving.

Rather than go hybrid, maybe NASCAR should bolt from F-1 and go the other direction: Hydrogen Fuel Cells. Start them in the Nationwide Series and see how well they work.

After all, the biggest thing keeping hydrogen off the streets is a lack of a distribution network – not a problem at 20-something NASCAR tracks. And if one of the cells is ruptured, hey, racin' is rubbin'. It'd give a whole new meaning to calling Tony Stewart "Smoke."

The thing I'd worry about with a hybrid NASCAR car would be the electrical aspect of it. If, somehow, the inverter got mangled to the point where it was coming in contact with the frame / body without shutting down, rescue workers and drivers themselves will be dealing with a very hazardous situation after a crash. Even if it's a 1-in-1000 situation, that's still one very dangerous problem.
