Open thread
A couple of things going on here: I'm dealing with managerial kind of stuff (I am the assistant sports editor of a certain local daily newspaper, and they don't pay me just to blog), and I'm not yet fired up about Sunday's race in Chicagoland. (Which begs the question: Will the newest proposed Cup tracks be called Newyorkland or Seattleland? Just wondering.)
So what's on your mind? Sound off in the comments. Give me some ideas of what you want to read about. Or just piss and moan about NASCAR.
Other options: Visit some of the links to the right, check out Matt's bulletin board (Matt reports it's getting busy all of a sudden) or check out Ed Hinton's pre-Pepsi 400 opus on Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his struggles. You'll have to register, but it's worth your time.
You are reading Ed Hinton regularly, right?

Since NASCAR at times has the eyesight of a pro-wrestling referee maybe they could add a "wildcard" voted in by the fans. They are good at changing the rules on the fly.

No wildcards! While amusing, it would be a waste of time (as NASCAR has already stated). A team that ran 20th over the year will just get walloped if it tries to compete in the Chase. And how reputable would that be? Allowing an "also ran" the chance to take home all the money and prestige because we "like them"? I might be devoted to certain drivers, but I'm not blind! When they bite, they bite.
And yes, NASCAR can survive a Chase without JG or Jr., as painful as that might be...
