Joe Gibbs Returning to NASCAR
Joe Gibbs is apparently headed back to NASCAR following his resignation Tuesday as coach of the Washington Redskins.
Although he may stay on with the Redskins as an adviser, he's now free to be directly involved again in racing. Gibbs gave no clear indication what role he'll take with the race team, which has won three championships since 2000, during a news conference in Virginia.

The charity bass tournament was sponsored by Ranger Boats and facilitated by FLW Outdoors. Fisherman traveled from as far as California to compete for the grand prize, a 198VX Ranger Boat with a 200 HP Evinrude engine, Minn-Kota Maxxum 80 trolling motor and Humminbird 767 depth finder. Dave Wolak of Wake Forest, NC and Chris Hall of Clarks Summit, PA won the tournament and took home the grand prize package, valued at $38,000.
Martin Truex, Jr. and Regan Smith also fished in the tournament with Newman, as well as Two Foot Fred of the MusikMafia and Fred Contaoi of American Choppers.
The event raised over $100,000 for the Ryan Newman Foundation Endowment, which will be a source for grants to nonprofit organizations that fulfill the foundation’s missions.

Subway Fresh Fit 500 notes
The starting top 10 lineup for the race was 24, 26, 11, 10, 48, 2, 1, 29, 20 & 9 for this COT race.
There was some pre-race excitement as Jeff Gordon had to swap out helmets during warm up laps.
Hamlin had the car to beat, but he got snagged speeding on pit road.
A late race yellow destroyed Kurt Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., & Ryan Newmans's chances at a top 10 finish as they got caught pitting before and during the yellow.
Stewart was strong, but near the end, with 19 laps to go restart, Jeff Gordon had led with Tony Stewart all over his back bumper and finally took the lead with a 3 wide pass, but then Gordon took the lead back from him and pulled slowly away for the win.
Hamlin fought his way back from beinng last on the lead lap to 3rd behind Tony Stewart, followed by Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth rounding out the top 5.
fought it out for a few laps until Gordon got the better of him and pulled away in the last few laps. It was a great finish to watch.
Jeff Gordon now holds the most poles in the modern era record. (According to Fox commentators).
Jeff Gordon wins from the pole, ties Dale Earnhardt for all time wins & does a victory lap flying a 3 flag in honor of his acheivement..
Hendrick motorsports now has won the last (all) 3 COT races.
Jr comes in 19th. Kurt Busch comes in 18th.

WEDNESDAY Tidbits
NASCAR is at the newly reconfigured Las Vegas Motorspeedway this weekend.
It promises more speed and more racing lines from the added banking, a better fan experience from the rebuilt infield and they are already sold out, so hopefully, it's all true.
AND when they hit Bristol in late March, when they're done there, Bristol is going to "reconfigure" their track surface!!
Jeff Gordon has had 2 top 10 finishes and is looking for his third this season.
Media says that DEI and Dale Jr are coming along just fine with talks and expectations are that sometime in May they should be done.
Supposedly, everyone at Ganassi (The drivers) have settled down and everythig is hunky dorry at the shop. (Well yea, Montoya won & only has to see Pruett at the road courses. How can it not be ok? The next road course event will tell us if Pruett really is ok with everything.)
Darlington gets another race (Not NASCAR) on it's Mother's Day weekend racing events. The Silver Crown series.
Kenny Schrader will not be driving the 21 car, but will be driving the Woods Brothers No. 47 car. Jon Wood will be in the 21 car & Schrader is also entered in the Western Allstars Late Model races at the Las Vegas Dirt Classic.
TOYOTA: Team Red Bull is 1 for 4 in successful attempts at a CUP race so far. MWR isn't doing much better. BDR is plugging along ok, once they get past these crap penalties and motor woes.
The Washington State controversy goes on and on with the various Bulletin Boards around the web. Some say there is support, but you don't see it because they're out there, too busy working, and those who are voicing their opinions, well, aren't working. (That doesn't sound too far off from the remarks that Seaquist made about fans).
When the "wants and don't wants" run out of fuel, they start bashing the location picked by ISC.
Then others are confused thinking ISC is NASCAR, and it's not.
Another common thread I've seen is to add another race to an already established track and drop this NW idea.
My take: Major businesses just don't up and do things without a lot of research into the potential. Maybe you watch a tv ad, get swayed by something and go out and buy the product. (Face it, if advertising didn't work, it wouldn't be there.) They've conducted and seen their studies (I'm assuming) and their eyes are set on 2 new markets, New York and Washington. They have their reasons that the majority of us just don't even get or are aware of and I'm sure they are doing what they think is right. (Heck, it took me 6 months of research to buy my last new vehicle. I refuse to be an impulse buyer!)
My Guess: If they get the green light on this thing, this means the track will probably be taking a date away from another track. With the advent of waning sales at CA Speedway, and ISC owning that track, I bet that's who's going to lose a date. They're both on the west coast, and a track in the SW and NW gives fans at both ends of the coast equal opportunity to see a race. I'm just hoping it's not another 2 miler. They are too big for in-person events as you loose the cars in the back stretch and you're forced to the "Jumbotron" to see anything of imortance when it occurs on the other 70% of the track you can't see well at all.
Gotta go.. see everyone later.
