A fast oval. New car revealed. Las Vegas. A whole gob of cars. Gambling. Simona? Hinch. A close championship race. A close rookie race. A crazy 5 million from the back race. Buddy Rice, Paul Tracy. Showgirls. Free tickets. Network television. Celebrities. Sunshine. A suitable TROPHY. Fireworks. Trucks. Danica’s Last Call.

This might be the coolest freakin’ race 99.9 percent of the viewing won’t watch.

I’m ready for Sunday and will not be watching NFL Football and DVRing the race.

Ooh! I know what I’m doing with my afternoon now! Time to road trip it, to see if that’s where the “Naked Guy on a Unicycle” is hanging out!

Really, as I said at The Pagoda last year when the trophy was unveiled, “can’t we just have a goddamn cup, like a regular sport?” Hooray. It’s never too late to fix a bad idea.

That old trophy was more than hideous, it was actually a little bit creepy. I didn’t have a problem with it at first, but it anti-grew on me. :-S

Count me in the Vanderbilt Cup group. Like the Stanley Cup, there is only one. That makes for a much cooler trophy.
