Fast Laps on the Beach Would be a Gas

Daytona Beach. What would you pay to watch that squirrely Current Car in a stock car race on the Beach at Daytona?
I know, the beach track is long gone. But wouldn’t that be a gas, watching modern Cup cars race on the sand? I got a chance to help call the two ARCA races that were run on mile dirt tracks at Springfield and Duquoin, Illinois last summer. If that was close to what we could expect in the 21st century on the beach, it would be cool indeed.
Maybe NASCAR needs to think about, outside-the-box ideas like that to help bring the fans back - which is the way to eventually re-attract the sponsor bucks that today’s Cup teams need to survive. NASCAR beat writer, Dustin Long of the Landmark Newspapers has published his NASCAR Fans Bill of Rights, which is much more common sense than my thought. Dustin solicited and surveyed NASCAR fans during the recent off season and came up with a reasonable list of what NASCAR fans should be able to expect. I hope someone in Daytona is listening.
The first Fast Lap dust-up of the 2009 season is next. Make your best pass at these four, highly banked and restrictor plated fast ones. Lets get this season rolling.
1: What was the biggest surprise in qualifying for the Daytona 500?
2: Elliott, Stewart, Terry Labonte and Kvapil are in-which other four have the best chance of making the race?
3: Did the Bud Shootout deliver?
4: Is the new car a perfect match for Daytona?
Simple yet argumentative. Just like Steve. Bring it on NASCAR-o-philes! We haven’t had a good debate since Robby Gordon supposedly wrecked somebody. Wait…….
The Fast Lap is ON PIT ROW’s longest running regular feature. Well, it is if you don’t count the whole “Steve is an idiot” gag. And I look at that as, well, a natural phenomenon.

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.
