6/09/09 Kenny Wallace has no sponsorship for the Montreal Nationwide race. His normal sponsor is the U.S. Border Patrol and I guess that’s not going to ‘fly’ in Canada. He mentioned his plight to his Facebook friends and one friend (Jim Ryan) suggested to Kenny that maybe his fans could help his cause. After brainstorming and of course asking NASCAR’s permission, he’s come up with a plan. If you go to www.kennywallace.com you can donate $20.00 and get your name on Kenny’s car for the August 30th race in Canada. You’ll also receive a picture of the car. This sounds like a classic win-win situation for both Kenny and his fans. I remember BAM racing doing this, but it had offered small companies a chance to have their logos plastered on a race car. It was a bit more expensive and the difference is that Kenny is giving the fans a chance to sponsor a racecar without pilfering their wallet. On the other hand, Johnny Benson has no sponsor and no ride. The 2008 Craftsman Truck Series Champion was ‘let go’ after eight races ( read more ). Will there be no Johnny Benson at Michigan? He’s 7th in the driver’s points! I think the Camping World Truck Series is the hardest hit (economically) of all the three NASCAR series’. It always is, being the lower tier of NASCAR. Although, it is hands-down the best racing (on one mile 1/2 or shorter tracks) in the NASCAR world and has the least support. How do we solve these problems? Kenny: Don’t leave the United States of America with that sponsor. Johnny: If I could fix your problem, I’d be a marketing guru. Good luck to both of them. Have a comment?

How did a fox get in the infield? Did he have a hot or cold pass? They stopped qualifying and he jumped the safer barrier, slipped under the fence and into the stands. Joey Logano thought it was a cat. He needs to spend more time in the great outdoors. I’d hate it for him if he came across a skunk and called, “Here kitty, kitty.” Interesting side note; There is a Native American belief that all animals are spirit guides and if one is seen in an unusual place, e.g., a superspeedway, it is an omen. For your entertainment and because racing is a very superstitious sport, I found out what Mr. Fox is trying to tell them; *“It’s best to blend into your surroundings, move with stealth, and keep your intentions to yourself.” It also said something about ‘someone is going to try and trick you’ but that’s a given in NASCAR. (See video here) On to Saturday’s races - Kyle Busch won the Camping World Truck Series race and the Nationwide race. Can he do a three-peat for Sunday’s Cup race? Watching the race on the Fontana track is really boring. I’ve seen it on television and at the track. I suggest you go to the track and get pit passes. The Truck and Nationwide drivers are very accessible and it is a great experience. I wish they could fill the stands but they can’t. They should have given the citizens of California a Bristol-type track instead of this Indianapolis-wannabe style. That being said, I bet Kyle Busch isn’t complaining.
