News, Notes and Off The Wall
- Martin Truex Jr. wants to get his contract settled with Front Row Racing. His current deal runs through the end of the year and he feels locking up a Chase spot after winning last week should cause a push to Git 'er Dun,
- Taking about FRR and Truex, The team owner may be looking to move from under the Bowtie. He's looking for manufacturer support and Chevy isn't opening the pocketbook. Don't be surprised if the #78 has a Blue Oval or TRD logo on the grille next year.
- Hey, Hey - JJ and the #48 team won their appeal of one of the written warnings issued for two consecutive races. The appeal was for the warning issued for a pulled out side skirt during the Coke 600. The penalty was last choice in pit stalls for the next race after the 2nd warning.
- Hey, Hey - JJ and the #48 team got another written warning for failing Pocono pre-race inspection 3 times. This makes the 3rd warning this year (4 counting the overturned one), but it is consecutive. So lets see what the boys at Nascar come up with this time.
- Kyle Busch is returning to old form and is driving the #54 XFINITY Toyota at Michigan.
- After last weeks qualifying bungle when only 5 drivers completed a lap in the final session when Hamlin spun with only a short time left, killing the Q-Clock, Nascar is looking at a change to the Q-ing rules. The current rule states when Q-ing isn't completed, the non-finishing cares are placed based on speeds in the prior session. By spinning, Hamlin started in 6th ahead of the remaining 4 cars because he had the 2nd fastest session 2 speed, even though he caused the stoppage.
- Nascar is looking at track specific aero packages. Watch for more written warnings since the teams can't get it right with just one package.
- Did you hear about the guy in Colorado who shot himself in the foot to see what it felt like? Not satisfied, he pulled on his boot and did it again!

The winner of the Pocono FL race was FlaCowboy, his third :first: of the year. aspeck is still sitting on top of the flagpole, our overall leader.
Play around with your Fantasy Live teams before the green flag drops on Sunday and good luck! Maybe FL will work better during the race this week. And maybe not!The Humpster.
