On Saturday, for the first time in 25 years, a driver – several drivers probably – will qualify at over 200 MPH for a NASCAR Sprint Cup race. Never has it happened on a track other than Daytona or Talladega, before the days of restrictor plates.

Speed is good. Fans like speed. Promoters love it. They brag about having it. Sometimes they fib when they don’t.

Someone asked Joey Logano before first Sprint Cup practice if the looming 200 MPH speeds scared him. He said no. No surprise.

Matt Kenseth was asked if it’s a good thing that drivers don’t seem concerned about the Michigan Speedway speeds. He said he’s never really thought much about wrecking or getting hurt.

Logano said, if you do, you probably shouldn’t be out there anyway.

Carl Edwards claimed that the first time he saw 206 or 207 on his car’s data screen, he thought it might be messed up. He was a little shocked that they were really going that fast. “It’s just amazing how fast we’re going.” he said.

No need to embellish anything this week. Records will fall. But some real fast guy will go too fast On Pit Row. The effects of mistakes On Pit Row will be magnified too. The law of unintended consequences say so.
