[Vengeance]

Hey, guys with mustaches. Have I got some news for you. The first authorized documentary on Dale Earnhardt is coming, to be narrated by Paul Newman:

"NASCAR Images and CMT Films are teaming up to produce "Dale," the first authorized documentary on Dale Earnhardt to be released theatrically. Narrated by Paul Newman, the film will enjoy a unique rollout, bowing in select cities on the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series circuit beginning in February, which coincides with the start of the 2007 Nextel Cup season."

With this film, the Richard Petty biopic, and Will Ferrell's comedy Talladega Nights, NASCAR fans have a lot to look forward to in the future. I mean, besides their actual lives, which will always be burdened by the fact that they like to watch guys drive cars around a giant oval for a few hours every week. Probably shirtless.

I resemble that remark.  Except for the shirtless thing.  Anyone else disappointed that MIS was rain shortened?

I don't think anybody except Kasey Kahne was happy the race was rained out. But as I was watching the race (which was really awesome until the Roush cars started taking the lead) I noticed how short the MIS races are, even without the rain. The beginning of the race was sweet, with Gordon and Kahne swapping first and Junior and Johnson battling for third and fourth. And then Gordon and Junior fighting each other for the lead. If it weren't for pit strategy and the rain, I would have expected Gordon to be back up there fighting Kahne for the lead.
