This week we journey to Indianapolis for the 21st running of the Brickyard 400, now officially known as the Crown Royal Presents the Jeff Kyle 400 for this years event. Along with the Cup race, the XFINITY boys will be racing on Saturday. MRN is providing us with the weekend schedule;
NBC is carrying the X-Men on Saturday, but they switch to NBCSN for the Cup on Sunday. Just what is NBC broadcasting Sunday afternoon to cause a shift to the cable channel? Oh, the end of the Tour De France and The Global RallyCross Series. TDF - More cheaters than Nascar and a REPEAT of the rally thingie. I am so
The 46 entrants include Josh Wise after a 1 week layoff from his old team and Chase Elliott in one more Cup practice before taking over for Jeff Gordon next year. The bubble riders with no provisionals are Elliott, Sorenson and of course, Jeb Burton. Elliott, Blaney and McDowell with miss the race if If qualifying is cancelled.
Indy weather may cause some bother on Sunday, but the rain chances fall off in the afternoon and evening, The forecast, Friday-Monday;

- Water bottles - The powers to be say they will discuss littering the track. Maybe they will make a decision before a full bottle weighing a couple of pounds blasts through a windshield. Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it can't.
- There is garage talk about MWR switching to Chevy and Toyota expanding teams.
- A new aero package specific to Indy will be used this week. Also teams can change engines prior to qualifying without penalty -That's a big twist.
- More written warnings to teams from New Hampshire. Ho-Hum.
- TV ratings were down for New Hampshire. 7 of 8 races on cable have fallen ratings, with the lone exception of Kentucky maintaining a even keel over last year.
- New Hampshire only had 2 "mystery" cautions. Are water bottles invisible?

Our New Hampshire winner and collector of :first:s is FlaCowboy. He has five of those things now! Also Cowboy is the overall leader by a bunch. New Hampshire was very, very good to our CowPoke.
