California
Dustin made it to California. His report:
There's lots of mud on the infield. (Because it rained like heck there recently.)
There's terrible traffic getting to the track.
And the greater L.A. area seems distracted by Sunday night's Oscars and a giant rock hanging over the Pacific Coast Highway.
The good news: The forecast calls for partly cloudy skies, highs in the 60s and no chance of rain.
The schedule: There's a truck race tonight (9 p.m. on SPEED, and Mike Skinner has the pole), a Busch race tomorrow (5:30 p.m., FX) and the Cup race on Sunday (WGHP-Fox 8 starts at 2 p.m.; green flag is at 3:10 p.m.)
