Yes, a road course should be in the chase!  I do expect Jr. to run well in Vegas....last year he was having a great race till he screwed up royally with about 5 laps to go and "accidently" drove down pit road.....his test session in January was good here too, so, unless he runs into some bad luck, I expect at least a top 10........Keep an eye on Montoya too...his testing here in January was great, one of the fastest.

Earnhardt Jr. was running competitive lap times with his wounded car today.

But he won't be on my roster this week.

It was just announced on NASCAR on ESPN 2 that the president of California Speedway is considering turing the track into a restrictor plate track...which would totally reconfigure the track, add banking, ect.....


I think this would do a lot of good for that track....in the past they could never sell out a race, racing overall has generally been boring, they lose fans that would rather come to the Las Vegas race a week later and only 200 miles away, and the list goes on, especially after this past weekends mess

In 2006, they added 8 degress of banking to the Las Vegas track. They started in March after the Cup race, and were done by September for the Truck race, granted California is another half mile longer, and much wider, but I bet they could do it in 6 months if they really wanted too

If they start now, they can have an extra month.  But, I think we will see it next February.  They have to plan it and get all the necessary permits.

Also, will NASCAR approve?  I know they want to maintain a presence in the Los Angeles market, but will they approve of having 6 plate races?  And the drivers?

I think Nascar would approve...ratings have been slowly declining, and restrictor plate races are by far the most entertainng racing nascar has, IMO, and overall the Los Angeles market does need a change...as far as the drivers go, well, some love those races, some hate the races, but the bottom line is, if the fans aren't entertained, then those drivers don't have a job.

I placed mine on Tuesday!  hihi

Oh, and just a quick update on California Speedway.  They will NOT be adding banking or placing plates on the cars.

Fish sticks.  Sad
