The third race of the year is coming to us from Las Vegas. We'll have Cup, X-Men and Trucks running around another 1.5 mile track. Of course The Twerp will run all 3 races - I wish Nascar would put a stop to BuschWhacking. From MRN, the schedule;
37 names on the entry list, so no qualifying drama as all will make the field. On the weather front - No rainy fronts, but Friday and Saturday are gonna be windy.

News and Notes
- Trouble in Paradise? Monster has requested another extension to renewal talks. I don't think it's looking good.
- Atlanta penalties - Cup (Harvick) and X-Men had 3 teams total with loose lugnuts, only fines. Trucks had a more severe issue when The Twerp decided to turn a 4 tire change into a 2 tire change and left the pits with the left rear tire nutless. The tire came off as he exited and he backed up into his pit to put a tire back on. The Twerp's Truck CC, jackman and rear tire changer got 3 race suspensions, while The Twerp got nothing for backing up on pit road, a clear violation. Why does Nascar coddle this guy?
- Will Jeff Gordon be saddled in the broadcast booth next year with the Waltrips? His Fox contract expires at the end of the year and Gordon is getting more involved with Hendrick as time goes on. He is mentoring the Hendrick new guys and when Fox finished up their half of last season's races, Gordon was on the pit stand coaching Chase Elliott. Watch this space.
- TV ratings - Against the Olympics,the race scored a 3.1 vs 3.6 last year. To be fair, NBC didn't really have any live Olympic coverage against the race. It's just more poor ratings in my opinion.

- Make no about it - FlaCowboy won the week! LOL Congrats Cowboy.
- Our new overall leader is the Cowboy............................For now.
- Cup qualifying is 7PM EST, so make that pole pick before then for the chance to get the 5 bonus points. Good luck.
