INSIDE NASCAR


The best thing about Sunday is there is no finer day of racing all year. The worst thing? There's no way to be at Monaco, Indy and Charlotte to take all the glory of it in.

Forget all about that heart-thumping 10-lap sprint to the finish in last weekend's All-Star Race. The Coke 600 is a marathon run.

Jeff Gordon has been the best driver on the intermediate tracks, but does he get bestowed as the favorite in the 600?

Brian Vickers isn't the kind of guy that can sit still ... unless he's at the controls of the Red Bull Albatross. The Sheriff is a pilot? No, but he faked it pretty well around Lake Norman.

When Dale Jr. doesn't perform, guess who draws the ire of his fans? The other Junior - crew chief Tony Eury Jr.

Where's the big top? Surely the stilt-walking clowns and bike-riding monkeys are nearby. How else do we explain this circus sideshow that is NASCAR and Jeremy Mayfield?

* 50 and still running *
Opening a race track in Charlotte 50 years ago sounded logical to Bruton Smith. But problems kept popping up. Today, he's glad he didn't let them discourage his goal.

May I take your order ?
Six hundred (600) miles is a long, draining race. So what do drivers eat to stay mentally and physically fit during Sunday night's marathon? Jimmie Johnson has an energy bar. Kyle Busch would like to have a hamburger. Jeff Burton? He prefers nothing at all.

Скотт Риггз, котрый прошел квалификацию лишь в 8 из 12 состоявшихся гонок Sprint Cup, после гонки "Кока-Кола 600" покинул команду Томми Болдуина... На его место придут сразу три гонщика: чемпион SCCA Trans-Am 2000 года Брайан Симо выступит за рулем Тойоты #36 на дорожных трассах в Сономе и Уоткинс-Глен, ветеран Чемпкара Патрик Карпентье - на обоих гонках в Поконо, Нью-Хемпшире в июне и в Довере и Ричмонде в сентябре, а остальные 17 гонок за рулем #36 будет выступать первый чемпион NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Майк Скиннер, по сей день выступающий в гонках пикапов... В общем, Риггз, как я и предполагал в начале сезона, ничего не показал и логично лишился места за рулем...

[Ivan Balakhonov]

Он не лишился. Уйти из команды была инициатива самого Скотта, который бы разочарован отсутствием стабильной спонсорской поддержки и невозможностью бороться за сколько-нибудь значимые результаты.

Кстати, из числа интересных новостей:
1. Есть информация, что в 2010 году Труэкс-мл. будет выступать за команду Майкла Уолтрипа.
2. По непроверенным слухам, уже в этом сезоне Пенске может на нескольких этапах выставить №22 для Джастина Оллгайера. Я буду очень рад, если это случится.

Риггз и у Эвернхема не ехадл, а чего он ждал в команде, которая дебютирует в Кубке... Что касается Оллгайера, то спешить не стоит, все помнят, как долго и мучительно привыкал к COT Джоуи Логано...
