And the categories are…

Turning Fast Laps escaping New York

There’s an old movie that I kind of like called “Escape from NewYork”. I can’t help wondering if Jimmy Johnson has ever seen it and felt empathy for Kurt Russel’s character.
Everywhere you turned last week, whether online, in print or on the tube, there was Jimmy, smiling away and, usually, holding up the Nextel Cup.
I bet you can buy knock-off Nextel Cups on every street corner in the Big Apple by now.
New Yorkers by the way haven’t embraced the NASCAR bunch if comments on New York based sites and pubs are any indication. Yankee fans seem about as enthralled with Brian France’s circus as members of the Coffee belt in the great Northwest.
This week’s Fast Laps rotate around the NASCAR awards show and finish strong with one of our favorite points to debate.
1) Who should get the “Best performance at an awards banquet” prize?
2) Should the banquet be moved to another city?
3) What was the worst moment of the banquet?
4) Add a track–subtract a track?
Cinch those belts up tight and take your best shot at those four turns. ON PIT ROW needs your input.
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?
