I was just on Yahoo and I must say I found the story about a meth lab being found in a porta-potty in the middle of a golf course a far more riveting story then "Stenica"

"By giving the fans the power to decide the length of the three segments in the Sprint Unlimited, we feel there will be an unprecedented buzz surrounding the event," said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition. "The 30-25-20-lap format the fans voted for will create three distinctly different segments that will keep fans enthralled throughout the race."

I really thought the fans would go with the format where the final segment would be 10 laps. I voted for 15 because it's short, but still long enough where, if there were a shit load of bone head moves made, there'd still be time for racing. I think a 10 lap would have too many accidents and leave very little green flag. I'm ok with this.

So few because of the new car, ay? Will some races even struggle to get 43 cars then?

I was really hoping it would top 50 but I'm sure the new car is a huge factor.

Distinctly different segments? I didn't know 5 lap increments were "distinct".

Also there are more than 2 "Daytona only" teams, so I imagine we will have several short car counts to start the season.


Also: JWT AND MILKA DUNO ARE 1-2 IN ARCA PRACTICE. :8: Actually Venturini Motorsports cars hold the top 4 positions.

The 33 and the 52 are the only ones I can think of that aren't running all year.

The 33 may continue as the Circle Sport team that ran most of last season, but Scott Speed and the 95 will not run the whole season. Still, 43 full tme teams...just not many part time teams yet.

I like both guys. Kind of wondering why they thought replacing one old guy with another old guy would change things.

JWT and Milka will wreck on the first lap, while Gerhart, who starts right behind them, goes on to lead every lap to win.
