I believe in Monsters and Fast LapsThis will be a somewhat truncated Fast Lap post this week as I am “off on vacation and some things are hard to explain” as Jimmy Buffet said.

The Coca Cola 600 was Looonnnggg. The Indy 500 was looonnnggg and less filling. I’ll have more to say about that later at the Bench Racing blog, but something was missing still at Indy.

The Monster Mile is next up for the Cuppers and while you wile away your week, take a shot at these Fast Lap questions and let us know your thoughts. The best - and maybe the worst - of the results might just land you the vacation fill-in gig for future ON PIT ROW broadcasts.

1. Will the victories at Lowes propel Kasey Kahne to more wins?

2. Should NASCAR allow SMI and Bruton Smith to move a race to the newly purchased Kentucky Speedway?

3. Bootie Barker says the “illegal” wing brackets on their cars have been there all year. How could NASCAR have missed them all this time?

4. Rank the 500 and the 600.

Have fun kiddies. I’ll be back to comment and attack you like a shark in a frenzy. Right now though, Margaritaville calls.
