Remember Hearing about Ricky Carmichael?
The 15-time off-road motorcycle champion is cutting his teeth in NASCAR's minor leagues, competing in the Camping World Series East division, with an eye toward reaching the Cup series one day.

Carmichael, 28, drives for a team owned by Cup driver Ken Schrader and had his series debut at the series' season opener April 19 at Greenville-Pickens (S.C.) Speedway. He finished a respectable fifth in a Chevrolet after starting 11th.

His next race is the U.S. Cellular 200 on Sunday at Iowa Speedway near Des Moines, a track designed by former Cup champion Rusty Wallace.

Kenny Schrader and the Woods Brothers

If anyone's been wondering about Kenny Schrader and the Woods brothers, a statement released recently noted that as soon as they get back into the top 35 in driver points, Kenny will resume the driving duties, as the plan has been all along.

Sigh. I'm the Ken Schrader fan of all Schrader fans, but at what point do we see our guy ponder retirement from the Cup series so he can quit being benched? I pull for the guy every chance I get, but he's had the worse luck, or what not.. and sadly, I don't expect to see him in the winners circle again in Cup.
