NASCAR: Bluegrass Fast Laps for a Change

---

---

Two weeks off until the Cupsters resume at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

That was a hell of an end to the Lifelock 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.  Kyle Busch once again won the last lap dash to the checkered flag.  This time he bested his old teammate, Jimmy Johnson.  It was impressive.

But I get the feeling that Johnson is taking the measure of the Shrub.  Dialing in, along with the best crew chief in the business, Chad Knaus, the No. 48 Lowes Chevrolet for when it really counts: The last ten races. The Chase to the Sprint Cup.  Just like 2007.  Can’t hardly wait, myself.

Until then, we’ll have to cope.  Cope with unrelenting silly season stuff.  Wade through a hip-deep slop of rumors about who will drive for whom.  And in what car, painted in whose colors.

Enough for now.  Watch the Craftsman Trucks and the ARCA RE/MAX cars at Bruton’s new baby, Kentucky Speedway, this weekend.  And maybe sip on a Bourbon while thinking about these four, fast left handers .

1: Is Kyle Busch’s seventh win good for racing like Tiger Woods winning every week is  good for golf?

2: How did the TNT coverage stack up to the Fox coverage?

3: Should Kyle Petty take a full time broadcast gig in 2009, if offered?

4: Over or under-Michael Waltrip Racing will field two and a half cars in 2009.

It’s the Fast Lap and these questions will be a big part of this week’s ON PIT ROW.  The best answers and comments will be considered for a brand new video segment OnPitRow.com.  So don’t hold back.  Kyle Busch doesn’t.
