Nice work!Is that a good thing? Probably not.I'm of the opinion that an automobile race should never end after 6 p.m., but I reckon that's what happens when you're on West Coast time.

The former F1 driver got his first taste of a pissed-off redneck, and it went just horribly.Welcome to the states, Kevin!We also had a presumably drunk fan commit what I assume is a felony, Jimmie Johnson rip all the snot-nosed kids down in the Truck Series, and Kay Adams revving everyone's engines in San Diego.Let's get after it.Four tires, a splash of Sunoco racing fuel and maybe a good ol' lawyer for the poor sap who is probably still behind bars today ...
