Predictable Start

Maybe the right way to start the path to championship number six is more cheating.

Cale Yarborough was one of the toughest men ever to drive a race car, and Darrell Waltrip has been of the greatest ambassadors for the sport behind the wheel and in the television booth. Congratulations to both on being inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame last night.

Hard To See Equines

A while back I wrote that the 49'ers were the dark horse to watch in the Super Bowl run. I stand by that, especially now that the Packers have fallen.

That other Busch loses his ride:

"The end result is this: One of the best drivers in NASCAR, a former Cup champion, is out of a job. This is a driver with 24 Cup victories, a man who has made the Chase in six of its seven seasons.

But his résumé and his talent couldn't save him. Sure, he'll have a ride next season somewhere. But a good ride with a quality team that can compete for the championship? Not likely."
