It’s only a few more weeks until real racing begins…there has been some NASCAR activities going on, media tours, testing and this past weekend some of the drivers were in Daytona for a fan fest…
Over in Great Britain there was even some strange race involving cars hauling camper shells around a track, looked more like demolition derby to me than racing.
At least NASCAR righted a wrong from this summer when they changed the format for the Bud Shoot out and made it a manufacturer’s race and not a race of pole winners and past shoot out winners. Originally it was going to be the top 6 cars, not necessarily drivers, of each manufacturer, which left out Tony Stewart since he left JGR to form his own team, SHR, going back to driving a Chevy. The thought of a rookie (Joey Logano) in the race and the 2 time champ out of the race was more than I could handle and I planned on not watching the race….but now each manufacturer has a wild card car and since Tony is a past champion he gets the spot. To be honest I don’t know who gets the wild card for Ford, Dodge or Toyota…my bad. Now I'll watch...
