Have a few press releases for you to read and these having nothing to do with one particular subject. Let’s give you what I have right now.
First, Fox Sports will be covering the NASCAR Sprint Cup race in Las Vegas tomorrow.

SUNDAY, FEB. 28 – NASCAR SPRINT CUP RACING, 2:00 PM ET
RICHARD CHILDRESS RACING IS LEAPS AND BOUNDS FROM A YEAR AGO – FOX Sports prerace analysts Darrell Waltrip & Jeff Hammond are pleased to see that Richard Childress Racing teams are running up front where both analysts believe they belong. It’s an astonishing turnaround when you consider that no RCR driver made it to the Chase last year. “In Fontana, Richard Childress Racing continued their amazing turnaround from last year and they’ll be looking to keep that momentum going this weekend in Vegas. Childress had all three cars finishing in the top 10 and all three cars could have won that race! As a car owner, that’s about as good as it gets,” said Waltrip. Hammond added, “The changes with their crew chiefs from last year, is starting to produce results.”For more from Darrell Waltrip click here: http://tinyurl.com/yk4t7fyFor Hammond’s take: http://tinyurl.com/ykvgbwuSPEED INTRODUCES FAST TRACK TO FAME – What would you get if you mixed a grassroots American talent search with a dash of the gregarious personality of Michael Waltrip and spread it liberally over NASCAR Nation?
