Phoenix "News" and Notes

Kyle Busch has the pole for Saturday Night's race, proving that age-old axiom--chirp your tires at a KFC, and you'll run well at the flat 1-mile tracks.

The hot new rumor has a manufacturer pulling out of Nascar. I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure you won't be hearing from Nash anymore.

Jayski's weekly tv ratings headline reads: "Final Texas TV Ratings Mixed". This constitutes the only time that Nascar's fanbase has been described as "mixed".

Ken Schrader will be running four races at three different tracks this weekend. No word on whether he managed to fit in time to run the Nextel Cup race.

Jeremy Mayfield managed to race his way into the field, thus saving Evernham Motorsports the embaressment of having one of their teams miss a race. I mean, how bad would THAT be?!?

ODDS
EVEN--A cactus will be shown at least 10 times during commerical bumpers.
10:1--Kurt Busch's first "pitch" at the D-backs game will be used to comedic effect during the pre-race.
100:1--Busch will flip out on Chris Myers, followed by Jeff Hammond giving Busch a DDT, then his finisher, the "Hollywood Hot-HELL"
