Tough to hear about Smoke's broken leg, and saw tonight additional surgery is needed. Really sucks, he had been turning the wick up in the standings lately. Thoughts and best wishes on a full and speedy recovery; he's already out this week at Watkins Glen, can't see him getting back in the car but so quick. Hope he's smart and careful with it.

I always enjoyed watching him race the road courses. What a shame. Here's to a speedy recovery! I heard Max Papis is going to be his replacement driver (another former Sprint Car driver). Questions are now being raised on whether or not NASCAR should allow drivers to race in other non-NASCAR events.

I don't know that that would be NASCAR's call, to be honest with you. For starters, they make it abundantly clear that each driver is, legally speaking, an independent contractor. The driver is under contract to his team, not NASCAR. Wouldn't surprise if they try some crap like that, though. Would seem just about typical of Brian France. Come to think of it, none of the chit that moron's pulled has surprised me, just made me shake my head.
