Some lucky folk will have the opportunity to get some signatures that might just be worth something somewhere down the road!

Reutimann Steps Aside for Jarrett for All Star Race
Michael Waltrip Racing's David Reutimann will return to the team's No. 00 Toyota this weekend, but he says that doesn't really signify anything but a change in logos.
 
The driver opened the season in the No. 00 and then moved to the No. 44 after five races when teammate Dale Jarrett retired from NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points racing. Jarrett had already agreed, however, to return to the No. 44 for one final race – this weekend's NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Lowe's Motor Speedway. So Reutimann will shift back to the No. 00, and Michael McDowell, who has been driving the car since the sixth race of the season, will be sidelined for the weekend's non-points event.

As I reported back on March 20th, Jarrett will be driving one lucky fan around the track 'in the truck' after they won a contest.. lucky turd!  First paragraph of this post.

Kyle Loving Being Hated Apparently
Kyle Busch is NASCAR's most hated driver. And he loves it.

Viciously booed during pre-race introductions, Busch soaked up the venom by encouraging Saturday night's crowd at Darlington Raceway to keep it coming. And when he heard a member of Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s crew jeer him as he passed by on the parade lap, Busch smugly flipped him the bird.

This kid doesn't need to be popular, not as long as he's winning races.

As long as he's winning races, he's fine with the 'tude and seems to be egging it on but he needs to be careful.  After winning at Darlington, the beer cans flew and sooner or later he's probably going to motivate someone to get even stupider than the already ignorant debris throwing behavior out there.
