Scott Pruett wasn’t able to hold off a hard charging Kyle ” the Shrub ” Busch in the closing stages of the Corona Mexico 200, but at least this year he didn’t whine about it.

Pruett finished third, passed by the “Australian Turtle” (man, I loved those old Busch Series commercials) , Marcos Ambrose. Ambrose claimed he just needed a few more laps to run down Rowdy. Yeah, and I only need a few hairs to be a bear.

It was Busch the Younger’s first road course win and third consecutive Nationwide Series win and he did it on the track - not ON PIT ROW. Whew, I was tryin’ to figure out how to get that link in there.

Next weekend the Cupsters take to the high banks ofTalladega Super Speedway and a return there of the New Car. Well, kind of a return. The last time there it was called theCoT, among other less complimentary things. Jimmy Johnsonsays ‘Dega is the perfect CoT/NC track. I guess we’ll see Sunday. While awaiting that verdict, try on these fast, highly banked Fast Lap questions.

1. Chevy has pulled the new Camaro (and, incidentally, the Corvette) from contention as bodies for NASCAR competition. Does that kill the “Pony Car” Nationwide Series?

2. Do you like the “foreign” trips the the Nationwide Series is making?

3. Danica Patrick won an Indy Car race, finally. Will NASCAR see a competitve female driver in the next 5 years?

4. Jimmy Johnson says that Talladega is the “perfect” track for the New Car. Is that a good thing?

This is the Fast Lap so remember you get 100 words or less to answer each of these debate topics. But make sure you come back often to defend your positions and slam the hell out of every other idiot (yes Steve will be answering too) who gets it wrong. We just might use your best stuff on the next ON PIT ROW radio type program.
