Fast Laps at an Easter egg hunt

Chevrolet is on the Sprint Cup board thanks to a last lap, Fast Lap by Jeff Burton at Bristol Motor Speedway. Burton has been lurking in the Cup shadows. Jeff never seems to dominate a Cup race, though he often stomps the Nationwide Series competition. He won this one though and led a Childress phalanx of himself, Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer to Chevy’s first win of 2008.
The early laps were a Toyota story with Tony Stewart leading the most and Denny Hamlin taking the sloppy seconds. Those two couldn’t close the deal though - which is getting repetitive for all but Kyle Busch in the Toyota camp - as Stewart got bumped by Harvick and Hamlin had fuel pick-up problems at the end.
The Cupsters will take a break for Easter this week and we’ll have to find our Fast Laps elsewhere. Nashvillle Super Speedway seems an OK place as the Nationwide Series camps out in the land of the Grand Ol’ Opry. ‘Course if you are afflicted with insomnia, you could opt for the Formula One race in Malaysia. Tune in at 2:30 am edt Sunday morning.
I have a Fast Lap option to help tide you over to the weekend. Take these four fast ones flat out and maybe we’ll put you ON PIT ROW!
1. The tire test at Darlington saw speeds over 200 mph. What should NASCAR do about that?
2. Was Harvick getting into Stewart a “racing thing” or retaliation for a similar incident at Indy in 2007?
3. Is Sam Hornish at his best with his back against the wall?
4. Has Richard Childress Racing taken over as the number one Chevy team?
Four fast little gems to ponder and pontificate over. This is the Fast Lap - NASCAR debate in the digital world. Wade on in and be prepared to defend your position and counter-attack as you see fit. Just remember, only 100 words or less, per comment. ON PIT ROW speed limit strictly enforced. Or not.
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.

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?
