(oddly enough, Elvis last concert was in Indianapolis)
What has Vegas in common with Nascar?
There are a few things one might say... the excessive showbiz stuff, the constant search for riches, oddly dressed women, overpowered leaders getting rich, clients leaving broke...
Good thing a couple fellas named Alan and Eric sorted it out in a couple minutes:
So here it is, another weekend without having to endure: (more sensible readers might want to skip the following lines..)
This:
Or this:
Or this:
(oh... wait! we have already seen it this year! bummer! he gets 10 aditional jinx slots for the race)
But hey! At least we will have this:
And maybe some of this too:
And hopefully not some of this:
That's enough for odd pictures (for now)
With the new system (it's now 1 year old actually, but im sure it will remain new for the next 10 years) drivers will be scrambling to find a spot in the Chase and repeat Newman's feat of being a runner up without winning a single race!
(sensible viewers can resume reading from this point on)
As usual, race will take place at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a place not very nice for racing in recent times, but as the saying goes you have to keep on racing.
(this is the part where I impersonate my F1-only alter ego and proclaim "it's a freaking oval! just turn left and you should be fine! no track stats needed")
Trucks will be taking a break this weekend, so we are stuck with just 2 days of racing to distract us from the impending doom at Mclaren, the rebirth of Manor and "Stumpin Mercedes Part 2 - The Stumpin Continues" that will start next weekend.
So here's what we got:
Friday:
Practice makes perfect, so tons of practice for the racers
(I have been told by a reliable source that he killed Moe Zart)
There is also some sort of mob gang shootout too, but I hear the prize is something called "Pit Stall"
(I dunno, my years at F1 have teached me to always be suspicious of men in red suits)
Saturday:
The zombiefied Dodge Challenger will take the track once more, still unaware that his masters in Italy have pulled out life support years ago! Aptly, the series is called Xfinity.
("you cannot kill me Sergio! I shall linger till the end of time! Muhaahahaa!")
Sunday:
The big boys (and the kinda smallish girl) of Sprint Cup, take it to the track for 267 laps filled with yellows, pitstops, danica updates, Waltrip erm... Watripisms and maybe a Green White Checkered if Clint's arm starts to hurt too much.
Further information can be found at the usual places that I am too lazy to name.
Enjoy the race!
