This mornings show is from June of 1993. I think this is the show that I could have attended, but I decided to be a good student and not skip my Fundamentals of Management class. Looking back I shoulda skipped class.

Ok now on to racing...



Kasey Kahne is driving the Red Bull #4

Brian Vickers is back this season, and will be driving the #83 Red Bull car. A welcome back to the Angry Leprechaun.

Brad Keselowski was taken off to a secret conclave where he underwent secret training to drive the #2.

Marcos Ambrose is driving the number 9 Stanley/Dewalt for The King

Kurt Busch is driving the #22 for Shell Penzoil

Delana Harvick will be wearing a Bud firesuit this season while her husband Kevin will be behind the wheel of the Bud car.

Dupont hasn't renewed as a primary sponsor for Jeff Gordon yet.

Dick Trickle isn't racing this season, but it's a fun name to say..

A.J. Allmendinger has both a cool name and a sponsor, he'll be driving for Best Buy once again.


I like most of the new changes to the points system, but setting the qualifying order by slowest first doesn't make a lot of sense to me, why even have qualifying? Why not have the drivers determine position by arm wrestling or a game of darts? waaait.. I get it now... It's a ploy to get Danica a better starting position so they can have more Danica updates before she wrecks.

The last two positions for the chase being picked by most wins of the top 20 drivers is a good idea. I'm not really crazy about "The Chase" for one thing there should be a road race in it. If it was up to me, I'd have a big press conference with lots of Brouhaha and Ballyhoo, who knows maybe even a bit of Hullaballoo and have Bill France draw names of tracks from a hat while Dark Overlord Mike Helton looks on. They could pick a road course, a super speedway, and a short track. The rest would be a total free for all.

But they have it all figured out, I'm just a guy who cooks tasty food on the grill, and drinks beer before dozing off, only to wake up when I hear "Caution is Out!", or "Trouble in turn 2".

I think bourbon/pineapple juice injected pulled pork with some homemade slaw will be on the agenda for Daytona.
