We journey to a whole 'nother country to watch the race at the Texas Motor Speedway this week. Cup will be driving for 500 miles on Saturday night or not even 2/3's of the way across the state, while the X-Men drive a paltry 300 Friday evening. No Trucks until May at Kansas. The MRN schedule;
Slight rain chances Saturday may cause some delays. And then again, maybe not.
The entry list is at 40, so a full field and everyone gets to race. Brian Vickers is once again filling for Smoke this week. And the race is on Fox, so I don't need to search for an on-line stream. Yippee!

New and Notes
- Shrubby had laser issues at Martinsville and flunked laser test testing twice in pre-race inspection, resulting in a warning.
- Nascar fans like to eat, so TMS will debut a new culinary delight named the Hawg Heaven BBQ Melt. I gotta give the breakdown; Texas BBQ pulled pork braised in Texas Motor Speedway's recently released No Limits Checkered Past craft beer produced by the Audacity Brew House in Denton, Texas, Creamy bacon jalape?o mac & cheese, Texas 1015 sweet onions, and Fried spicy pickle chips. All of those ingredients are wedged between two slices of griddled jalape?o cornbread and garnished with a bacon-wrapped jalape?o. Where's the beef? Actually, where's the Texas brisket?
- Dale Jr. has tweeted about his favorite sandwich. Banana and mayo (Hellman's, of course - a sponsor) on white bread. Yummy - Yuck.
- ISC, the France family track ownership company, has stated that advance race ticket sales are down 10% from last year. Their reason - Jeff Gordon's retirement and Tony Stewart's injury absence. They are grasping at straws - Balderdash!
- Martinsville TV ratings - Bucking a trend. The overnight ratings were reported as down, as have most races lately. The final ratings reversed that by showing that Martinsville TV ratings on FS1 was up over last year and is the most watched FS1 racing event and daytime telecast. One of the rating methods is faulty to show such a swing, in my opinion.
