The third leg of (my) Grand Slam of Sprint Cup racing is tomorrow. I’m layin’ in a supply of caffeine loaded consumables in an attempt to get through the afternoon warm-up race that was once the Greatest Spectacle in Racing (it’s now more likely a case study in anti-marketing) - and the A-Main feature, the Coca Cola 600. It’ll be a long day, because the one F1 that I still make it a point to watch (case study number 2 or, how to f-up the US market), the Grand Prix of Monaco will be breakfast.

At least Charlotte will be dry, unlike Daytona. If you haven’t already seen these pictures of the flooded Daytona International Speedway, take a look.

The Indianapolis 500 used to be a must listen to event for me. For the last several years, it’s been more of a case of checking it out when I remember. The fact is, before the break up of CART, I was a bigger fan of Indy Cars than I was of NASCARs. Now, I couldn’t intelligently pick a favorite for the 500. Not that I can for the 600, either, but that’s not the point.

So, if you want a solid pick for Indy, go to The Catfish Show. Matt has one, and a nice post about it too.

Marc at Full Throttle always has good Formula One stuff. This weekend is no different.

Our own James Jones stirred up a bit of a hornet’s nest with his post about NASCAR fans letting Toyota off the hook. The comments are flying if you want to chime in. Just be nice, please.

I like Trixie’s Trailer Park. Seems she’ tired of the Mayfield saga too.

This is the Coca Cola 600 weekend and the Coke folk always have something going at Lowes.  I have some pics below from the main at the track promo this year. These are Coca-Cola Racing Family drivers Kyle Petty, Bobby Labonte and Clint Bowyer serving free food to fans at the Coca-Cola Quarter-Mile Cookout.

And we have a couple pics of Brittany Osborne of J.V. Washam Elementary in Cornelius, N.C who got to take a spin with NASCAR driver and former Sprint Cup Series Champion Bobby Labonte in recognition of her school’s selection for top honors in the Ask.com Safe Search Schools Program.

    One of the top three race viewing days of the year. LeMans and Daytona days are right up there too.

Got something to say?
