Las Vegas "News" and Notes

After a boring race at California, Nascar puts it behind them with another boring race at Las Vegas. Don't worry, Bristol's just two weeks away.

Honda has hinted that they will NOT enter Nascar in the near future. However, the plans of Studebaker, Nash, and Hudson remain in the air.

Jeff Gordon is getting a wax statue at the famous Madame Tussauds gallery in Las Vegas. Surprisingly, the statue itself still has more personality than Ryan Newman.

Last week, Nascar did not allow Mark Green to sub in for Joel Kauffman, who was feeling "nauseous" (read: the trots) before the race. Apparently putting a seasoned veteran in a car is dangerous, but putting a violently ill 19 year old in a car is perfectly fine.

Derrike Cope was forced to withdraw from the entry list at Las Vegas when his team's transporter broke down. Cope then attempted to win his way into the race at the blackjack tables. You can see him now outside Bally's wearing nothing but his mustache.

ODDS:
EVEN--An Elvis impersonator will be featured during the pre-race.
5:1--An Elvis Pressley song will be featured during the race.
5,000:1--A Lisa Marie Pressley song will be featured during the race.
