I don’t know about you, but I’m crossing my fingers that the motors and the tires hold up for the whole 500 miles of the Kobalt Tools 500 this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It’s about time to see a full compliment of NASCAR’s best go at it on a really fast track. Lets find out where we are with this new car on the kind of track where most of the races are run.

Three of this weeks Fast Lap questions touch directly or indirectly on engine effected results from the last couple races. I think it’s time for some cheating. Maybe a nice, convoluted conspiracy theory. But that’s just me. 

Just don’t bring up Digger. Please.

The Fast Lap Blog is going to go through some changes here shortly. We’ll still pose the four questions. And we, for sure, are hoping for spirited debate. But we’re going to put a couple more  conditions on the answers you post. Stay tuned.

1: Could you see Kyle Busch moving to the US formula 1 team in 2010?

2: Would anyone other than Jimmie Johnson be allowed to return to the track with his rear bumper support dragging the asphalt?

3: Is NASCAR’s no testing policy starting to rear its ugly head with all the engine problems?

4: Will Mark Martin lose interest in the season if his season doesn’t improve in one helluva hurry?

There you have them. Four fast, southern flavored, high banked testers for ya. Leave your answers - 100 words or less (for now) - in the comment section. Then come back and defend yourself. You never know who might take umbrage to your opinions. We do like a good argument around here.

For me, there has always been something special about Atlanta Motor Speedway. I think it goes back to the days when Bill Elliott was stomping everyone in that old Melling T-Bird. The track was - and still is - wicked fast and the Elliotts had it figured out. Or something figured out, anyway.

Now it seems that Chad Knaus, Jimmy Johnson and that no. 48 Chevey team are the ones with most of the answers, while many of their competitors are still trying to figure out what questions to ask. Johnson will be tough to catch if he doesn’t slip up some how. At this point in 2007, Jimmy was one race into a string of four straight wins that closed out his second straight Chase to the Cup championship. The hopes of fans who want to see “anyone but Johnson” at the head table in New York, rest on the likelyhood of J J running headlong into somebody else’s “racin’ deal”. Good luck with that.

And good luck with these four, highly banked, non-restrictor plated Fast Lap questions.

1: Should NASCAR start the Chase drivers in the front of the field every week of the Chase?

2: Has the time come for car owners to start releasing their lame-duck drivers to make room for the 2009 line up?

3: Is there any place with better racing than at Martinsville?

4: What is the most probable merger scenario?

 Remember, 100 words or less for your answers. But this is a debate blog, you know? Come on back and tell me what you think of my comments. Or Steve’s, or whomever’s. Stir the pot you know and we may use your insight on the next ON PIT ROW.

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?
