The weather in Vegas
Kinda crummy, actually, reports Dustin Long: 51 and windy today, 48 and rainy Saturday for the Busch race and 52 for Sunday's Cup race.
Here, it was 60 when I left the house this morning, it's about 75 now and the only clouds in the sky are hanging over the Greensboro Coliseum, where Duke is down 6 to Miami (!) at the half in Game 1 of the best day of basketball all year.
Some things to help you get your NASCAR on after the jump ...
* USA Today has a Q&A
* Poole writes the annual Kyle-and-Kurt-come-home-looking-for-respect story; the usually amusing Stocktoons reports on a new Kyle Busch film
* the boiled-down version of AP's Jourdain Jr. story that ran in today's N&R is here
* Jeff Gordon plays poker; note the surprising lack of logo wear. Feel free to add your own How-will-they-remember-their-sponsors? joke here
* Backstretch catches up with the Evernham crew
* My new favorite sports blog (language is not 100 percent work safe)
