I'm going to Fontana, so I'll be able to give you a full report on the seating situation next week.

And let's hope there is a rivalry between Kyle and Carl, otherwise the Chase could end up becoming a boring snooze-o-rama if Kyle dominates at every track.

007_fan is right that Hendrick's move may go down as one of the worst decisions by an owner in the sport, but Kurt's decision to leave Roush for Penske may go down as one of the worst decisions by a driver.

Thanks,

You're right, it doesn't make sense. I also wonder what the real reason is.

Well, judging from some info I received today, it seems that IndyCar wants to hold down costs. It was also announced today that the final IndyCar race of the season will be held at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.

That's a good observation and it's one that I hadn't considered. Nevertheless, NASCAR is not a hobby. Flying model airplanes is a hobby. Nascar is a sport that pumps millions of dollars into the economies it visits and it also creates a countless number of jobs in the racing, auto, promotions and service industries.

Did you see Ryan's comment about Rusty? He said he was very familiar with Rusty's "personalities."

Couldn't find the bird shot at the time I posted this.

I can see GM filing for bankruptcy, but I doubt it will cease to exist in 9 to 15 months. GM is such a large part of our economy that Uncle Sam will come to the rescue with your tax dollars before the auto company completely crashes and burns. The other option would be for Toyota to buy it.

What would happen on days with a rain delay? Oars perhaps?
