Talladega track to be repaved for '06 Chase Talladega Superspeedway officials announced Wednesday that the legendary Alabama racetrack is set to be repaved for the first time since 1979. In the quarter of a century of racing that has since passed, the track has firmly established itself as the most competitive track on the circuit, holding both the record for most lead changes in a race (75, May 6,1984) and the record for most leaders in a race (26, most recently April 22, 2001).

NASCAR to embrace Past Lives, Aliens, Xenu and TomKat. i.e. Scientology. How will this fly in the Bible belt? Like a UFO, that's how. [via]

Now that BMW has finally entered their own car in F1, is it time for them to finally enter the realm of MotoGP? Speaking of MotoGP, are we in the midst of a changing of the guard? There are many young superstars in the making, wanting to be the man to punt the current champ, Valentino Rossi, to F1.

BMW NASCAR style. Just imagine the stock car version after a weekend at Martinsville!

Schumacher is back to his winning ways having now won two races in a row. Fernando Alonso doesn't seem to like it much. Japanese driver Yuji Ide has been demoted to test driver for the Super Aguri team after the sport's governing body suggested he wasn't really up to the task and should get some more miles under his belt in the test car before he is allowed to race again.

Sherman gets replaced In the NASCAR world Brent Sherman is going to be replaced by Jimmy Spencer at Martinsville. Wow this is not shocking at all that guy was horrible. I've never seen a guy wreck 4 times in one race i mean come on four times. But on a lighter note at least there will be less cautions at Martinsville this weekend now huh?

During a rain delay late last season, Jimmy Spencer had a great chance to witness to all of us about Jesus Christ and he did a wonderful job. I wish Jimmy the best of luck in racing and in life.

Kyle Busch becoming a problem? Some of the NASCAR drivers are getting worried about how Kyle Busch has been driving. Are young drivers too agressive?

Kyle needs to go to the Robbie Gordon school of offensive driving

Drivers, teams sound off on cheating issue at Daytona Instead of emulating "The Fast and the Furious," some of the NASCAR Nextel Cup competitors in Sunday's 48th Daytona 500 might be better suited on an episode of "Cheaters." Now that Chad Knaus has been caught cheating several times in 2005 and now the first race of 2006, I think he deserves a more severe penalty. Like 100 driver and owner points, suspension for the next five races, and forfieture of any race winnings.

My idea of racing would be to remove restrictor plates and let's see who can travel 500 miles the fastest

Kurt Busch, reigning NASCAR Nextel Cup champion, was detained in Maricopa County for suspicion of DUI. Asked to comment, Jack Roush, his current team owner, said "I don't plan to take any action myself. I'm not looking down the road with Kurt, based on the fact that he has his release and he'll be doing something else. He'll be under new management and new oversight next year and I'll just stand aside and watch and see how that works out for him."

Stock car racing evolved from drunken moonshiners out running the police. Maybe Kurt was doing the throw-back thing

Crown Royal is one of his sponsors. It's nice to hear that a driver uses the product he endorses. Bottoms up, Kurt

Formula Ferrari After Bridgestone's inability to provide decent tyres to Ferrari for the 2005 season, Max Mosely decides to revoke the rule change that left them unable to compete with Michelin. 50% of the F1 revenue stream isn't enough of an advantage?

I never miss a chance to bad mouth Bernie Ecclestone and his merry band of idiots. The rule restricting each car to one set of tires per weekend turned formula 1 into formula zero. The safety factor alone should have vetoed this rule. Formula 1 was, at one time not so long ago, a collection of the most technically advanced machines in the world. Today, there are swamp buggy races that are better organized than the FIA. I would like to see active suspensions, automatic gear boxes, ABS, all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering and turbo charging back in F1. Make the cars the stars instead of a weekend at Bernie's

The 1917 World Series The unheralded 1917 White Sox won 100 games, hit 18 home runs all year (it was the dead-ball era), had nine players that stole 10 or more bases during the season, and wore silly uniforms. They beat the New York Giants (play-by-play accounts) 4 games to 2, winning a snazzy championship pin. It was the Giants' fourth straight World Series defeat. [more inside]

If nobody gets crippled, it'll be a miracle... and probably a ratings failure. Jerry Rice, Bo Jackson, Karl Malone, Xavier McDaniel, Jim McMahon, Bill Goldberg and others will challenge "regular Joes" to contests of physical prowess on a new show on Spike TV. In other news, Spike TV is still on the air.
