MR. BACKFLIP AGAIN...BUSCH NOT HAPPY

Carl Edwards wins again, but his bumping of Kyle Busch left him mad. This is what I don't understand about the Busch Bros. They hit people and everybody accepts it as a part of racing, but hit them, they whine. Am I among alot of floks who are pulling for anyone by 'Rowdy' to win...

Saw an article on Casey Mears stating he's got another fresh start with RCR...how many fresh starts does he get?

Loved Clint Boywer's candor over the radio at Bristol talking about Michael Waltrip...but, he was wrong and owes him an apology since ESPN let the world know what he said....

On to California....

MR. BACKFLIP WINS!

Carl Edwards is the master at Michigan....not surprising the Roush Fenway boys were so strong..in a fuel mileage race, take the Fords...

Ryan Newman joins Tony Stewart...no surprise there, question now is the sponsor...

3 races to the chase...it will be interesting...

This week, I'm in for Kevin Williams in the Locker Room - NASCAR guests include Jamie Little and Tim Brewer....

POCONO....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Another boring Pocono race complete with a rain delay....I really think they need to either cut the distance or one race from the schedule. Pocono races tend to become fuel mileage/strategy affairs and most times, are boring....

Next up is Watkins Glen...I'm on vacation next week but I want to remind you - I'll be filling in for Kevin Williams the week of August 18th on The Locker Room - 3-6p weekdays...I will have some NASCAR talk and hopefully get to chat with Jamie Little again...

INDY=FARCE

For the second time this decade, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is mired in a tire controversy....the race was a total farce, and I really think NASCAR needs to take a look at why this is happening....I thought the Lowe's race of a couple of years ago couldn't be topped for absurdity...I was wrong.

#14

Tony Stewart is going to pay tribute to his idol A.J. Foyt when he unveils his new car for next year - it's #14. Looks like Office Depot will be the sponsor...not sure who his driving partner will be...Ryan Newman has a few offers on the table.
Look for alot of things to be settled in the next couple of weeks...might see some driver moves come September for non-Chase teams...

MEDIA FOLKS...

We tend to think people on radio or TV are somehow different than us. After all, they are on radio or TV.
I had a chance to chat with Allen Bestwick of ABC/ESPN and he showed me a side I never really realized...I asked him about his demotion at NBC from lead announcer to pit reporter and he gave me a straight answer which I respected. Then he talked about Benny Parsons...it was obvious he missed his friend as he seem to struggle at times for words. Allen is a great guy to talk to and I wish him all the best.
Jamie Little is another person who you might not realize has alot on the ball. I've spoken with her twice and she was alot of fun to talk too. And she's got a sense of humor. You can catch her interview Thursday on the Locker Room between 3-6 on Fox Sports 1310.
ESPN Takes over for Sprint Cup coverage beginning this Sunday.

BUSHC AGAIN...GOODBYE NEWMAN...

Kyle Busch wins in Chicago...continuing the roll he's been on all season long...give him credit...great move around JJ....

With Ryan Newman leaving Penske, don't be surprised if Martin Truex, Jr. gets some consideration for the #12 car. He's still not signed with DEI...Funny thing - rumors are now that UPS will go to the #2 car in the new Stewart/Hass team with Newman. I offered all of my old UPS Racing gear to my ex, but she doesn't want it - not into hand-me-downs...
