 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:51:52 -0000 Whisking Through Wednesday

Gathering together the snigglets of news thus far this week...

  • As noted earlier, Joe Gibbs Racing shocked the world Monday by announcing Joey Logano will be taking over the #20 Home Depot car next year.  Is he ready for the ride?  Maybe.  Is an eighteen year old ready for the life of a Sprint Cup driver?  A rich father and the best equipment money can buy is no guarantee this is the case.  We'll all find out together if Logano is cut out for living the dream.
  • Randy Moss is giving Marc Davis a shot in his truck for a few races.  Hope it goes well if for no other reason than shutting up the liberal bigots who bleat day and night about NASCAR being a haven for rednecks.
  • Reed Sorenson has jumped the not-so good ship Ganassi in favor of Gillett Evernham starting next year.  Since Target isn't going with him, it's easy to surmise he's lined up some other sponsor or sponsors.  There's no other reason to replace Patrick Carpentier with Sorenson.  While he's shown occasional flashes of promise there's nothing in his career to suggest he can revive a #10 team that more often than not is a speedbump.  Then again, maybe the problem with the #41 hasn't been the driver.  Which leaves one possibility...
  • Speaking of teams with issues, the reports are Brad Keselowski turned down an offer to replace Ryan Newman in the #12 next year.  Either Penske is even worse than we think or he knows starting in 2010 part-time with full-time following in 2011 the #5 is his.
  • You all care about the format change in the Bud Shootout, right?  After all, who doesn't want to see the top six teams for all four manufacturers first thing each season... and if you can name all twenty-four off the top of your head, please start getting out more often.
  • NASCAR has put Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards on double-super probation for their assorted post-race escapades after Bristol.  As this guy would say, what-ever...

I bump you, you bump me, we're a NASCAR family... No Christmas cards will be exchanged between Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards this year, and there probably wouldn't have been before Carl took Kyle's bump during the cool-down lap and gave him his best heavy metal left hook. I love Bristol.
