Bringing you the best in NASCAR news and opinion. Get your day rolling right ... or left, whichever.

• Here's a good idea: Why not crown the champions of NASCAR's various series on different weekends? (That photo is last year's Nationwide champion Clint Bowyer, and it's one of the strangest I've seen.) [Scene Daily]

• And now it begins: What will Jimmie Johnson's place in NASCAR history be should he win his fourth straight Cup title? [Racin' Today]

• Good news: J.J. Yeley is healing from a brutal wreck and is eager to get back onto the race track. [NASCAR.com]

• Continuing on the NASCAR-gear-wearing criminals beat: A guy in a NASCAR hat tried to rob a bank in Kannapolis, N.C., but got spooked and ran. Wimp. [All Left Turns]

• Why's everybody coming to NASCAR to drive? Because it's the best racing series around. Some fella by the name of Juan Pablo Montoya said that. Yeah, he might know. [Virginian-Pilot]

• Who should host the NASCAR season-ending awards ceremony in Las Vegas? I say Chris Rock. [The Daly Planet]

• Pretty much everything you're reading about Dale Earnhardt Jr. these days is wrong. (Except what you read by me, of course. I'm always right.) A passionate, eloquent defense by a Junior fan.  [The Diecast Dude]
