Richmond "News" and Notes

--The Jeff Green/Michael Waltrip rivalry rages on, proving that even the most medicore drivers can put on a great show.
--Richmond is one of only three short tracks left on the Nacar schedule. The proliferation of mid-sized flat tracks is believed to be caused by "stupidity".
--In non-Cup news, the Truck Series runs this week at Mansfield Speedway in Ohio. This is the most famous thing to happen to Mansfield since Jayne.
--Scott Riggs will be racing with a special air freshener in his car this week. Riggs' PR says that this has nothing to do with said air freshener being on the hood of his car this week--its just for kicks.
--Ryan Newman wrecked in practice after posting the fastest time. If he gets the pole, expect Kenny Wallace to say, "Man, NOTHING can stop this guy in qualifying!" on Nascar this morning.

ODDS:
