NASCAR did exactly what I hoped they would do after the Carl Edwards – Brad Keselowski Atlanta beat down last weekend. Nothing. A three race probation. I'm cool with that. NASCAR made very clear it would no longer vigorously police the on-track behavior of drivers. As NASCAR VP of competition Robin Pemberton said, “We will put it back in the hands of drivers, and we will say, 'Boys, have at it.'” Say what you will, like it or not, NASCAR showed some juevos and it’s ‘bout time. Like it or not.
Bonus call: We’re not talking about Danica this week.
Ben Roethlisberger. I know dudes just like him. His looks wouldn't get him a second look at a 7-Eleven. His rocket arm with a ring makes a prince out of a toad. His smarts? I’ll say it again, I know dudes like him. Cats like Benny can’t even ponder why there are door locks on a 24 hour 7-Eleven. Yea, I know.
If an IndyCar series happened would you know it? Yea, I know that too. IndyCar is in such a bender that I don’t know if a Mears, Andretti, Rahal or Unser superfecta could reach the defibrillator. I quote Jay-Z with a K&N Filter firmly in place, “99 problems and the b***h ain’t one.” Least of IndyCar’s problems is the lack of American born drivers in seats. I’m just sayin’.
“Hey, it’s Tiger.”
Who will lose a race date for NASCAR 2011's Cup Season? Atlanta? California? Martinsville? One nugget, only one track has a title rights sponsorship. Got your AAA card?
Where’s your ‘10 Daytona 500 winner now? Already 205 points from the top.
The best driver in the worst spot? Carl Edwards, 20th place.
So the former CBS producer Joe Halderman, accused of attempting to blackmail David Letterman, pleads guilty to second-degree grand larceny. In return, big Joe gets a six month term of watching his backside in prison, some sniffly probation and a little trash collecting afterwards. Now, this guy Joe, I do not know dudes like him but if I was the sentencing judge on this one, I would lock him up in a 24 hour 7-Eleven for the six months with a s-load of burnt nickel dogs and lukewarm Cherry Coke Icees. Now that IS a stupid human trick.
That's what I freakin' think. Email: kennysargent@speedfreaks.tv.
