Texas "News" and Notes

--This week Nascar returns to the track that, at one point, was hated more than Rosie O'Donnell and pudding skin combined.
--Everyone wants to know: Who's going to be in the 6 car next year? I'd put my money on Joe Bessey, though Jimmy Means isn't out of the hunt yet.
--Ward Burton has said that he will only return to Nextel Cup, and only with a competitive team. Considering how well the NetZero team is doing without him, I guess beggers CAN be choosers.
--Nothing says good old American racing than a race sponsored by Samsung.
--Rumors abound that the government is ready to re-approve the sale of ephedra. As if Kenny Wallace wasn't hyper enough.

ODDS:
3:2--Darrell Waltrip will exclaim "Yee-haw" at some point during the race.
7:1--Someone will recognise an oil company exec and punch them in the stomach.
40:1--Troy Aikman will announce that Hall of Fame racing will be on the track before the next decade.
