Night Racin' Fast Laps at Bristol Motor Speedway
The Race to the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship is down to two short tracks and a big, two mile intermediate. That’s thirty, potentially huge, Chase bonus points up for grabs.
Carl Edwards snagged the extra ten points for winning the Michigan race. And MIS is the clone of one of the three tracks remaining - Auto Club Speedwayin Fontana, Fruitland.
Edwards is also the defending race winner of the Bristol night race, which just happens to be the next stop on the NASCAR Sprint Cup tour.
Racing under the lights in Thunder Valleyis one of the true spectacles of motorsports. Maybe of any sport. It has become more than just a race. Anything can happen at Bristol. I can’t wait.
But there’s a whole week to kill before Saturday night. Try our own, four Fast Lap heat race to help make the time go by.
1: Ryan Newman to Stewart-Haas in 2009 wasn’t a very well kept secret; but what could be causing a delay in sponsorship talks?
2: Morgan-McClure Motorsports said NASCAR hijacked their number 4 to give it to SHR. Should NASCAR have been more sensitive to one of its historic teams?
3: What should the penalty be to Joe Gibbs racing for trying to alter the dyno test results after the Nationwide race at Michigan?
4: Four Roush-Fenway cars finished in the top 5 at Michigan. Is that finish a good indication of who should be jettisoned when the team needs to get down to four teams?
Keep your responses down to 100 words or less. We are working through the bugs of a weekly video feature that will take the best of the Fast Lap to, we hope, another level. The first Fast Lap Show would have been making its debut this week, in fact. If only I had remebered to turn the mike on.

1) It's simply a matter of time and timing ( and luck) ..I expect a package sponsorship deal to be on the 39 in a few weeks. My understanding is Kodak and Subway are still looking for a place to put some money.. and the connections are already there...
2) well.. yes and no.. MMM # 4 has seen it's share of success during the Runt Pittman era.. but that was last century. It's not like the # 3 by anybody's imagination.
3) now we know, don't we... suspended indefinitely?.. ouch.. but it's not nice to fool with MotherNature... err, NASCAR
4) to me (and I know this for certain) Jack's lack of mentioning Jamie Mac is not oversight on his part.. the No. 26 will be moving down the street in Concord to Yates Racing...stay tuned
