Pocono "News" and Notes

Unbeknowst to many, "Pocono" is actually a native American term, meaning "Triangle". "Triangle", meanwhile, is a Middle-English term, meaning "Boring Races".

Mark Martin is being non-committal about his future beyond this season, refusing to say whether or not he'll be running a full-schedule, partial-schedule, or none at all.
Now, take this fun quiz: The above news item is from:
A: 2005

Scott Wimmer is apparently so "in-the-know" when it comes to his own Nascar team, he doesn't realize if his own sponsor is leaving or staying for the rest of the season. Don't blame THIS on an inner-ear infection too, Wimmy.

Mike Wallace has said that he's signed a three-year agreement with a sponsor for the Busch Series, but is not saying who it is, nor which team he will run it with. Odds are that Angela's Motorsports and Big Daddy's Hot Sauce are prominantly involved.

Some fans may be wondering why there's never any Nascar-sanctioned support races at Pocono. Well, come on--when you have 80-year-old comedians performing at the Raleigh each night, how could you waste your time on a RACE?!?
