--After last week’s scourge of cheating, Nascar put its metaphorical foot down and sent a message to all the drivers—if you cheat, we’ll go easy on you.
--Bill Elliott returns to the track this week with a Visteon sponsored car. Visteon, of course, is the world’s largest producer of Visteons.
--After a brief west-coast swing, Nascar returns to its roots in the Southeast this week. No, not at North Wilkesboro, silly—that would actually be EXCITING! Nascar doesn’t want that!
--The first three Cup races (plus the Mexico Busch Race) were run under the “Nascar Acceleration” banner. Starting this week, Nascar unveils its next marketing slogan: “Killing time till Charlotte”.
--Ward Burton visited Atlanta on Friday, saying “hello” to his old friends. Most of them responded with “you should’ve taken the Hendrick ride”.
