Auto Club Speedway Notes for Cup and Nationwide and more

An almost live recap of the Auto Club 500 (I was typing as I watched it, then tried to set everything in past tense.  That ain't easy!)  I also chat about the humorous perspective of Brendan Gaughan and I look at the Stator Bros 300 from Saturday.

SIRIUS Driver2Crew for Fontana, the Auto Club 500 Race Lineup and some Olympics Grumbling

I have the list of SIRIUS channels and what drivers will be covered, the line up for the Auto Club 500, set up by rows.
I also grumble a bit about NBC's tape delay of the Olympics.  No, it's not NASCAR related, but it is sports-like, so it sort of qualifies!

The 2010 Sprint Cup Girls, A Non-Fan Teaser, and A Rule Change

Today I bring you a new and updated article on the 2010 Sprint Cup Girl Squad..

This year, the 2010 Miss Sprint Cup squad consists of Amanda Wright, Monica Palumbo and Paige Duke.  They serve as the ambassadors for Sprint in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and perform various functions aside from standing around in victory circle behind the winner.
