NASCAR is currently in the midst of running the Brickyard 400. That's the event they've been allowed to hold at the hallowed Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the last fifeen years. I say they're in the midst of running the race, as they are about 40 laps (about one hour) into the race and have had four cautions already. I believe there's been about 10 minutes of green flag racing - no joke here. It will likely take four to five hours to run this 400 mile race.

Why? Because they simply didn't respect the track. They didn't allow proper testing.   And now tires are burning up after just ten laps.

Ooops.

Just one more self-inflected gunshot wound to NASCAR's foot. How many feet does NASCAR have?

- currently watching from Seattle, where the summer days are long and beautifully sunny, ... maybe they'll have to stop the race due to darkness? (!)
