Reparations

As you might have read, last night Blogger was down for the night. As a result, I only could muster a paragraph of frivolity. So how will I make it up to you? I'll just do what Nascar did when Wendall Scott* won his first Cup race...I'll act like it never happened!

Martinsville "News" and Notes
--Its been said that Martinsville is like two dragstrips with hairpin turns at the ends. To prove this point, Kenny Wallace will attend this year's race is drag, complete with two hair pins.
--Look for short-track ace Rusty Wallace to have a decent shot at winning. Additionally, he has a decent shot to say Ryan Newman was the reason he didn't win if he doesn't.
--Many Nascar insiders are urging Shame Hmeil to stay away from this week's Cup race. Not to avoid Dale Jarrett, just to avoid another 35th place finish.
--Martinsville, aka "The Paperclip", is said to be one of the favorite tracks of Jimmy Spencer, aka "The Paperweight".
--Rumors persist that the Cal Wells #32 team is not out of business, but all evidence points to the contrary.
ODDS
EVEN--An announcer will make a stupid joke about the Martinsville hot dogs.
5:1--Kurt Busch will be taken out of a purple velvet bag before Sunday's race.
30:1--Kevin Harvick will make it through the weekend without somehow screwing up all he did right last week.

*That's WENDELL Scott, not Willard Scott.
