Junior Nation is slipping. It should be worth noting that Tony Stewart has recently overtaken Junior in merchandise sales. This is only the second time since 2000 that anyone other than an Earnhardt has been the top seller.

Can you hear the pins dropping?

Interesting comments on Wind Tunnel tonight by "DW" on what Jr. should do - one of which is drop his involvement in the Nationwide series so he can focus more on the Cup series....

I watched that for a change P. I know Dave, was with NASCAR when he started working for TBS. He's an all-around good guy.

Interested in hearing the discussion on the future of IRL with Robin too. Sounds like they're in dire straights really.

The future of motorsports in toto is in trouble with the poor economy.

A point I made early this year.
Luckily we Aussies are doing a little better than expected.
(I don't think 5000 jobs lost per week out of a population around 20M+ is acceptable but ........ .......... it's better than most.)
Except for the Porsche Cup folding our other series are good, with two new 'street' circuits (Townsville and Homebush), a boost for the GT series courtesy of the demise of the PCC, and healthy fields in F3 and FF.
The V8 series have been forced to cut back on support staff, no more specialists in one area, 'multi-tasking is the go.
