California "News" and Notes

Mark Martin has announced that he will NOT drive the 6 car in 2007. In other news, Mark Martin is rumored to be running the 6 car in 2007.

Sports Illustrated wrote a blurb about F1 driver Jacques Villeneuve running some Nascar races in the near future. Apparently they've started reading Jayski's archives...from 1997.

Tomorrow Kyle Busch is inducted into the California Speedway Walk of Fame. His plaque will be displayed next to sales associate Al Blanche, who had a perfect attendence record for almost four years, and a hamburger stand menu.

A.J. Allmendinger has reported tested a Toyota truck at Richmond. Now, I'll admit that I've been pretty hard on CART in the past. However, I'd love to see Mr. Allmendinger come to Nascar. Not because of his abilities, but just because of his name.

If you're wondering, yes--I did have to copy and paste "Villeneuve" and "Allmendinger".

Tony Stewart wrecked again in a non-Nascar race this week, suffering a mild concussion in a dirt-track race. For those of you unfamiliar with Nascar, this is the equivalent to letting your star NFL quarterback play flag football in the street on Tuesdays.
