Loudon "News" and Notes

--In late-breaking news, Michael Waltrip has been fired from DEI, effective the end of the season. Why this wasn't done years ago is anyone's guess.

--Waltrip has been pegged for the #0 ride. Why this is happening is anyone's guess.

--The two Loudon races are annually the two biggest sports events in New Hampshire. Makes you wish that they'd actually built an exciting track.

--Morgan Shepherd and Kevin Lepage debut new sponsors this weekend, in deals believed to be worth in excess of $500 combined.

--ppc Racing recently announced that they are discontinuing the #10 car, which is a move revealed to be in violation of driver Michel Jourdain's contract. The team also lost sponsor Stacker 2, and saw their Nextel Cup team fall apart in a matter of weeks. See, this is what happens when you use lower-case letters. We can't all be e.e. cummings, you know.

ODDS:
EVEN--Someone will refer to the track as being in London.
4:1--That bizzare rumor about Bobby Labonte leaving Gibbs will be discussed.
400:1--That even-more bizzare rumor about Mike Mackler dating Lelani Munter will be discussed.
