Random Bristol Observations














--Tony Stewart has led 769 of a possible 1,510 laps in the last three Bristol spring races. He's finished 12th, 35th and 15th. Seriously, is there a Cup driver with better performances but worse luck at any other track?

--Gibbs cars have led 1,064 of those laps. Is there a team with better performances but worse luck at any other track?

--Jamie McMurray is outside the top 35. Think Roush wants Kurt Busch back?

--What does it say about Kyle Petty when Casey Mears and McMurray are 42nd and 43rd, Dale Jarrett has a pitiful run, and Jeremy Mayfield isn't very good, yet Petty can't improve on his 40th position in the points standings?

--I have a feeling that we're going to see Petty Enterprises switch the points from the 43 car to the 45 car. This shouldn't be allowed to happen. Even though he is Kyle Petty, he shouldn't be guaranteed a spot in the field with how slow he's been this season.

--Slugger Labbe is rumored to take over the crew chief duties of the #96. Will we finally see what we've been waiting for from J.J. Yeley?

--OMG! Hendrick didn't win! Please, can we put that story to bed? In case you haven't noticed, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are now 13th and 14th in the points. They're lurking. They haven't gone anywhere.
