Up to now I have been able to ignore the fact that the weather around here has turned cold. A much longer, and warmer fall season and the fact that NASCAR was racing somewhere relatively semi-tropical helped. Now both are over for another year.

Unlike many of the regular NASCAR TV and radio shows that close it down for the winter months, ON PIT ROW and the blogs at OnPitRow.com are active all year long. Though this Fast Lap blog got a bit bogged down the last two weeks. My bad. If you missed the radio show last week, here are the Fast Lap questions that Steve and I chewed on during the week immediately following Jimmy Johnson’s historic three-peat. 

1: With all the pending layoffs forecast in NASCAR, should the drivers take a pay cut to help curb expenses?

2: With the close points races in the Truck and Nationwide Series’ should the Chase go the way of the spinner wrench?

3: Are you saddened by the end of Jeff Gordon’s 14 season win streak?

4: Should NASCAR be worried that only three drivers won 27 of the 36 races in 2008?

I think we may have laughed about these topics more than argue this time. That is not normal. Let us know what you think about ‘em.

    1– Drivers taking pay cuts would show a bit of solidarity with the rest of the team but would have little impact on the bottom line.

    2– I am not a Chase fan but it does add interest during the “race to the chase” portion of the schedule which needed an interst boost.

    3– Nah–all good things must end at some point. It does show how even mega-teams are susceptible to less than hoped for results.

    4– It is a sign of the times. But is it really any different than in years gone by, when The King would win a big majority of the races and Pearsofn would win half of those remaining?
