MORE CUTBACKS

If you keep up with what's going on, you see teams struggling to get sponsors...and laying off workers in an attempt to keep afloat. It will be interesting to see what develops next February...

Don't forget next week is NASCAR week in NYC.....Happy Thanksgiving!

NASCAR TALK ON THE LOCKER ROOM

I'm in for Kevin this week...

Wednesday - a season recap with ABC/ESPN's Jamie Little at 5:05...

1160 WOBM-AM & Fox Sports 1310

JIMMIE AGAIN!!!!

So the season is over....Jimmie Johnson wins a 3rd in a row...Mr. Backflip wins the race...my pick - Matt Kenseth runs out of gas...sigh....

Found it interesting ABC scheduled the race till 8p this week...and had an extended post-race show...I'm still ticked...

Daytona is in 3 months....no January testing though....

JOHNSON...AGAIN....

Jimmie's #48 shows the way heading into Homestead...again. They had the class car all weekend at Phoenix....Nice to see Jeff Gordon have trouble (it's always nice to see that)...

Boo to ABC moving the end of the race to ESPN 2....good to know where NASCAR stands at ABC....

Next weekend will be interesting with all three titles still on the line....

WALL STADIUM RISES FROM THE DEAD...

The annual Turkey Derby will take place on November 27 & 28. The speedway, which was closed this summer, will run the annual event...a float in the Toms River Halloween Parade promoted the event...Good news for local racing fans...

CHASE TIGHTENS WITH MR. BACKFLIP GOING BACK TO BACK

Carl Edwards makes things interesting with back to back wins in the Chase...gotta love his move to go for broke...and Jeff Gordon, too...

two races left...i'm ready for a break

ANOTHER BACKFLIP

Carl Edwards takes the checkers at Atlanta...another sweep for the young driver, but JJ continues to close in on a championship. When it's right , it's right...getting tires with 10 laps to go was the move of the race, moving #48 from 11th to 2nd...everything they touch, turns to gold...

One issue which seems to be getting some attention - the continuing qualifying rainouts. There should be a move to allow those outside of the top 35 to have a qualifying session the day before a race...this would allow them a chance istead of a wasted trip...we'll see...

On to Texas....
