The Midgets are coming

If I read correctly, there will be some 280 Midget cars trying to qualify for the 24-car race at the Chili Bowl in Tulsa, Okla. That is simply amazing. We will be purchasing this $24.95 pay-per-view event at the Lizotte residence to watch on Saturday night. Anyone else going to be watching?

Joe Gibbs resigned as head coach for the NFL's Washington team. Hhhmmm ... do you think he will be needed a bit more in the garage area to deal with Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart scuffles? (Just kidding.) But seriously, I don't see the two of them working well together. We'll see, I guess.

According to a press release from Roush Fenway Racing, Matt Kenseth's new crew chief will be 34-year-old Chip Bolin. The press release also states: "Throughout the years Bolin has served at Roush Fenway Racing as engineer of the No. 17 team, the research and development team, and different testing teams. But, in 2007, Bolin's role changed. First in February, when Bolin got his initial crack at being a crew chief in the Daytona 500, when incumbent Robbie Reiser began a four-race suspension."

Here are the testing speeds from this morning at Daytona International Speedway.

All for now ...

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
