Sunday is the Daytona 500. Here's some NASCAR NEXTEL rule changes this year. I won't bring up the fines and suspensions because I don't know where it's going to end. And I can't say I have a favorite to win, but the Busch race should be as much fun to watch as the 500.
NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series changes-
As expected, changes to the Chase format were revealed by NASCAR Chairman Brian France. The key elements: 12 drivers, instead of 10, will advance after 26 races; the 400-point cutoff is eliminated; the 12 drivers will have their point totals reset to 5,000 each plus a 10-point bonus for each race victory in the first 26 races; all race winners will get an additional five points. Changes to the Nextel All-Star race format include 10 fewer laps, in four 20-lap segments, with the finishing order of the Pit Crew Challenge used to determine pit selection. Roger Penske plans to build a test track on the grounds of his 400,000 square-foot race shop in Mooresville, N.C. Plans call for an oval of more than a half-mile in length, an infield road course, and skid pad. An official groundbreaking ceremony for the NASCAR Hall of Fame was held in Charlotte.

Yes, He REALLY Said That
Dale Earnhardt Jr., on his on-going contract negotiations with Teresa Earnhardt. "The main factor is the ownership (of DEI) part. It has nothing to do with money and nothing else really . . . My father has been gone for almost six years now. I want majority ownership."
