Greg Biffle is the Fast Lap King

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.

I think I may be convinced. In 2007 Clint Bowyer parlayed a win in the first race of the Chase to the Sprint Cup playoffs -his first ever win as a matter of fact - into contention with Jeff Gordon and eventual champ, Jimmy Johnson. Clint hung in without another win.
Greg Biffle has two. In a row. And he’s going back to Kansas, where he is the most recent winner as well. And the once - and probably future - favorite driver to sweep the Cup up - Kyle Busch is limping with an average finish of a tic worse than 38th place in the first to Chase races. Yikes! Looks like Biffle may be for real and Rowdy is outta here.
And where did Matt Kenseth come from? I mean lately you expect the Biff and Carl Edwards to be tough, but that no. 17 team has been as resilient as the Detroit Lions. Good to see though.
Take a look at our little mid-week distraction we call the Fast Lap and tell us, in your own concise way, what you think of the four topics that Steve-O has tossed up today.
1: NASCAR’s new drug policy adds random testing, but why isn’t there a banned substance list?
2: This weeks Robby Gordon rumor has he and DEI joining forces. Will Robby ever get it right?
3: How can the new car provide such great racing on a one miler and not even come close when you add another half mile?
4: Is The Chase down to a three car battle?
This is a debate so bring your arguing shoes. We’ll use the best, or maybe the worst, comments on a future episode of ON PIT ROW.

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.
