Jack Roush has done it again. Jayski.com is reporting that Roush-Fenway announced today that Joey Clanton has been released as the driver of the 09 Zaxby's F-150 after one race. As usual Jack the Ripper intends to keep the sponsor, Zaxby's Restaurants. Clanton is to be replaced for this Friday's race at California Speedway by Travis Kvapil. Kvapil is a former truck series champion, and drives a Yates Ford in the Sprint Cup series. Hiring a wide eyed kid, and then stealing his sponsor is nothing new for the Ass in the Hat. Among others, he has done this same shameful act to Stanton Barrett and Kevin Lepage.

For the second week in a row Kyle Bush will compete in all three NASCAR series at California.It will be hard to improve on last week's two 2nd places, and a 4th place. He is currently in the top five in all three of NASCAR'S major series. The only other driver to be in the top ten in all three at the same time was Mike Wallace back in '03.

Mike Skinner will attempt to qualify the BDR #27 Bad Boy Mowers Toyota for the Cup race. One of the most fitting sponsors ever.

Mark Martin will make his 700th Cup start this weekend in Cali. Congrats.

Better add Matt Kenseth to your fantasy group this week. He's won the last two Auto Club 500's at Cali. He has two other Cup wins, and two Nationwide wins at the track.

Carl Edwards carried his 2007 BuschChampionship trophy to the Missouri Capitol this week to recieve a resolution from the backslappers. No word on whether or not he broke out the back flip.

Joey Logano is scheduled to make his first Nationwide start on May 31 for  JGR at Dover. He turns 18 on May 24. He's doing some Cup testing for Gibbs to gain some seat time.

 Finally, is there any track more boring than Cali?
