Last week I said it would be tough for Kyle Busch to improve on his three finishes from Daytona. Damn if Rowdy didn't go out and do it. He had a first, a second, and a fourth at Cali. Slim is en fuego.

Told you last week to add Matt Kenseth to your fantasy team for the Cup race. He had a solid top five at California. For Vegas I'll advise you to add Jeff Burton,  any Roush driver not named McMurray or Ragan, Kasey Kahne should be good for a top ten, and stick with Kyle while he's hot. Did I mention he's en fuego?

Tony Stewart broke his pelvis in an IRL crash at Vegas in 1996, and he has never won a Cup race in Vegas.

Have you heard the latest about the track at Fontana? Last Friday, while drying the track, the jet blowers used too much heat. This supposedly burnt the polymer sealant off the track. They are saying this is what caused the weepers. Excuse me while I call bullsh!t.

Just about everyone has already heard that RCR is trying to sign Bobby Labonte for next year. Labonte would bring the much coveted past champion's provisional. Also hearing that long time Petty sponsor, General Mills, would go with Labonte to RCR.

Robby Gordon's appeal will be heard on March 5th, in Daytona. Yee Mum, and I have already beat this dead horse to a second death.

Kertus Davis will have the first female crew chief in NASCAR history in this week's Nationwide race. Cindy Woosley will lead the #01, Lori Morgan Chevy in Vegas.

 With female crew chiefs now, can hot drivers be far behind?
