*smooch*
That has a lot of people calling foul for some reason, including Kyle Petty. I don’t really see why though. Montoya was angry and swore he didn’t do it, but basically it’s his word versus two electronic scoring monitors. That wouldn’t overturn a speeding ticket in any court of law that I’m familiar with.

Mark Martin Is on the Pole for Indianapolis; NASCAR as a Whole Would Like You to Get Off Their Lawn
Saturday, July 25th, 2009
Older Dominion
And on top of Mark Martin qualifying on the pole, Bill Elliott, 53, turned in a great performance qualifying fourth.
It’s an old man’s game this year.
Behind Martin, Juan Pablo Montoya, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Bill Elliott, David Reutimann, Brian Vickers, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Reed Sorenson and Clint Bowyer rounded out the Top 10.
Full starting lineup after the jump.

2009 Allstate 400 at the Brickyard Preview (Indianapolis Motor Speedway)
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
Put down that ellipse tool, young designer. It's time to break out the rounded rectangle.
You probably don’t know what I mean by that, but that’s okay. This weekend, NASCAR travels to Indianapolis to visit the 100-year-old shrine to American automobile racing: The Brickyard, that large rounded rectangle in a circuit replete with ellipses.
So put out the finest china (and I don’t mean the “Heroes of NASCAR” series of collector plates except for the Bobby Allison Miller High Life one because your cousin Marvin broke it when he put a package of firecrackers in a 10-pound package of ground chuck last Memorial Day) because we’re visiting the hallowed grounds of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

2009 LifeLock.com 400 Preview (Chicagoland Speedway)
Friday, July 10th, 2009
Feelin' fine.
Writer’s block is a…thing.
Man, who knew that taking two weeks off from writing would throw my rhythm off so badly? Writing about writer’s block is seemingly the height of pretentious writer tricks (Finding Forrester, Wonder Boys, Adaptation, ad nauseum), but when you’re struggling even to recall the word to use to explain your particular conundrum (the word I couldn’t articulate was “articulate”), it seems like the place to go as a writer.
The traveling NASCAR circus heads to Chicagoland Speedway this weekend, which is in Joliet, Illinois. Trust me, you’ll thank me later for avoiding the “easy out” Blues Brothers references. That draft was terrible.

NASCAR Link Roundup for June 24, 2009
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009Links that hungry like the wolf.
- The Times: Max Mosley forced to quit to avert rebel series
Max Mosley, president of the FIA, the sanctioning body of Formula 1 will not run for another term as he had previously indicated. This should effectively defuse the FIA/FOTA Mexican standoff that threatened to render asunder the entire open-wheeled sport. We now return Restrictor Plated to your previously-scheduled NASCAR-only news. - The NASCAR Insiders: Ask the Insiders Wednesday 29
The usual good stuff here. Go check it out. - All Left Turns: Tony Stewart’s Cars
Tony Stewart’s sponsor Armor All takes a tour of Tony’s garage to see what kinds of cars he has hiding in there. Did you know he owns a hearse? Seriously?
Beer, Wine & High Spirits: Kasey Kahne Wins Toyota/SaveMart 350 at Infineon
Monday, June 22nd, 2009
NASCAR's version of Fumé Blanc.
Kasey Kahne held off Tony Stewart to pick up an unexpected win at Infineon Raceway. How unexpected was it? It was Kahne’s first Top 10 at Sonoma, his first Top 20 at Sonoma, his first Top 10 at any road course in Cup Series and actually his first Top 10 at any road course at any level of NASCAR.
So, yeah, if you picked Kasey Kahne to win today, you either are crazy, clairvoyant or you couldn’t decide on a pick and you paid good money to hold a double-elimination tournament between 43 liquored-up lemurs and the lemur representing Kasey Kahne won.
I dunno. It’s late. Drunk lemurs are funny. No, I’m not drunk myself. Just tired.

Brian Vickers on the Pole for 2009 Toyota/SaveMart 350 Race at Infineon Raceway (Sonoma)
Friday, June 19th, 2009
Five more of these and I'll be able to make some stylish curtains out of them.
Brian Vickers is on the pole at Infineon Raceway. Did you know that this is actually his fourth pole position on the year? Doesn’t really seem like it, does it? If he picks up one more, he’ll actually have won more poles this season than he’s earned in his entire career up to this season. Go figure.
Kyle Busch sits on the outside of Row 1. He’s followed by Marcos Ambrose, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Martin Truex, Jr., Ryan Newman, Elliott Sadler, Boris Said and Matt Kenseth.
Overall, it’s an up-and-down day for Red Bull Racing. Vickers may have been on the pole, but Scott Speed ended up with his third DNQ on the year, putting him further out of reach of that elusive Top 35 in owners points. However, he may end up getting seat time in Joe Nemechek’s ride again (he obviously won’t pick up any owners points for that though). We’ll know more on that soon.
Full starting lineup after the jump.

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
Requires: MS-DOS 4.0 or higher, 10 MHz Intel compatible or faster, 640 KB of RAM. Graphics: CGA, EGA, MCGA/VGA, 16-color Tandy or Hercules. Sound (optional): Ad Lib, Soundblaster, Roland, Tandy, PC speaker.
I’m going to tell you a tale today: a tale of some of my early exposure to NASCAR. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, I was but a lad, late in my formative elementary school years. I remember watching NASCAR on television (on the occasions when it made network television—we didn’t have cable at the time), listening to guys like Ken Squiers, Ned Jarrett, Paul Page and Benny Parsons call the races.
Going to continue this story behind the break.
