Now that the smoke has cleared how ’bout a race?
by Charlie Turner
I'm Charlie Turner co-host of the syndicated, mostly NASCAR radio show On Pit Row. Thanks for stopping by OnPitRow.com and the Bench Racing with Steve and Charlie blog. Oh yeah, Steve is an idiot.

After close to forty eight hours of first speculation about, and then analysis of the Massacre at Mooresville, the Cup boys are back on pavement and qualifying at the Lady in Black.
If the Car of Tomorrow machines are as bad as Dale Junior and others say they are, this race could set the program back significantly. Darlington is tough enough when a driver likes his handling. We’ll see.
If my math is correct, with about ten cars to qualify, it looks like D J and Mikey will miss another one. Not by much. They needed a better Fast Lap.

About the Fast Lap blog
Fast Laps! Welcome to the On Pit Row Fast Lap blog. Every week On Pit Row we pose four Fast Lap questions. Four corners - four questions. On the radio show, Steve and I have 30 seconds each, to give our response to each of the four. If you are a listener, you already know that we rarely agree on any answer. The Fast Lap is NASCAR debate. Hannity and Colmes. Lincoln and Douglas. Wronkowicz and Turner. OK, maybe not Lincoln and Douglas. We have more fun than Lincoln and Douglas. Here's the challenge. We will post our Fast Lap questions some time each Monday. Four questions on topical NASCAR related subjects. Your mission is to comment with your answers and each answer is limited to 100 words. The questions, answers and comments will form the basis of this blog for that week. Comment on the Fast Lap questions. Comment on the comments. Insult the commenters. Witty ridicule is rated at least as highly as cogent commentary. Just remember that you have limited words and penalties are severe. Or not. Steve and I will select worthy blog entries to be featured on an edition of On Pit Row. That's the plan. I'm sure we will have some other things to post about each week but the intention is to pose most posts as questions. I want to argue with you! Bring it on.

NASCAR Fantasy Racing
On Pit Row is glad to be a part of such a great NASCAR fantasy racing game like Champs, Chumps & Sleepers. Grand prize is a Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure. How cool is that?
Agreed, Charlie.
This is the real first competition test that could make or break the opinion of the new vehicle.
Unless it’s a complete debacle, I can’t see any significant changes.
What I am wondering though is if it is more of a “teams just need to get used to it” deal, or if it truly is an issue with the car.
That’s something that a handful of races won’t be able to determine.
Thus far, the only thing determined is that while Hendrick was being mocked for their aggressive platform on testing and working with the new car, all that effort is paying some pretty nice dividends.
