I wish I was covering NASCAR right now, I'd ask every driver in the garage what they think about these phantom cautions that put them in jeopardy.

What, then would be the over/under on Bubbler getting his hard card revoked???

Boys I hope you don't mind but I've extended an invite to the gangangers to hold a summer event at the Coca Cola 600.

Actually, asking the drivers wouldn't be that big a deal. Start bugging Tharp or Ramsey Poston or Helton or young France about it, and then I'm sure there would be some issues. Best possible scenario: Wait for Tony Stewart to get good and pissed about something and ask him. He was screaming at John Darby Friday after qualifying in California about TV controlling qualifying; that would have been a great time to ask...

What is this? A political race or a stock-car race?

Scott Pruett wins poll for Busch Series' Mexican race

MEXICO CITY (AP) _ Scott Pruett won the poll followed closely by three Latino drivers for Sunday's Telcel-Motorola 200, the third race south of the border in NASCAR's Busch Series.

Pruett averaged 103.647 mph on his fastest lap Saturday in the No. 41 Dodge on the curvy, 2.518-mile course.

Just behind him was Mexico City native Carlos Contreras who finished at 103.407 mph in the No. 22 Dodge.

Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya, who jumped from Formula One to NASCAR last season, finished third at 103.391 mph in his No. 42 Dodge. Montoya finished first in Friday's practice and blamed changes in his car for his third place.

Mexican Jorge Goeters, who won the poll here in 2005, finished fourth at 103.203 in his No. 27 Ford.

Is that an AP re-write or something?
--------------

I always wanna pronounce Goeters like "goiters" instead of the way it's supposed to be "gators"

That's straight off the wire, but with no byline. They just moved a write-through. Turns out he won the pole. Go figure.

MertWindu · Mar 3, 2007

In really only mildly related news, a couple of guys in our production room giggled like schoolgirls at our "Gordon takes the pole" headline last week.

And then I joined them.

Dammit. When's naptime?

Damn, that sucks that Montoya's crew screwed up the pit stop.

Wait! Two cautions in 10 laps! On a road course! Montoya now has a chance to get back up front since NASCAR wants him to.

Is anyone else getting just the Spanish-language feed?

sportschick · Mar 4, 2007

Yes . . . weirdness really. My elementary-level Spanish can't translate this.
