From the Marbles - NASCAR

Every morning, we bring you the best in NASCAR news and updates. Use 'em to get your day started right.

• Richard Childress Racing stunk on ice in California, and Jeff Burton is very well aware of it. [Scene Daily]

• TV watching is going up --151 hours a month, people? really? -- but not for NASCAR. [All Left Turns]

Despite some curious on-and-off bolding, Bump Drafts brings you an interesting comparison between Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tiger Woods. [Bump Drafts]

• Thought the racing sucked in Cali and Daytona? Yeah, uh ... it's not going to get any better in Vegas. [NASCAR Nuts n' Bolts]

• Ready to give Matt Kenseth the title? Slow down, slick. The name "Kyle Busch in 2008" strike any reminders? How about "Jimmie Johnson for the last three years"? "Carl Edwards" and "Don't You Forget About Me"? [Scene Daily]

    Hart is super cute, lol
    OK, i started watching the Cali race at lap 72, but what i did see of it was exactly what i expected, boring follow the leader 1st and 2nd 10 ticks or more ahead of the field. and fox still thinks we want to see 1 driver turn laps over and over. OK, we know who is in 1st and 2nd, show the rest of the field idiots.
    But i thought Daytona was a good race and i think that Vegas will produce some good racing also. I don't need 20 lead changes or huge crashes to make it interesting, but I don't want to watch the 24 car make 40 circuits around the track all by himself.
    NASCAR is similar to baseball, it's way way to early to tell who's gonna make the chase and who's gonna be good, the season is just way too long

    RCR stunk up the ice? Is Clint dating Tanya Harding that I'm not aware of?
    Kevin Harvick is off to a great start but didn't get the finish he should have at Calisucky do to a parts failure that seams to have affected several Chevy and Toyota teams ( the Toyota engine is basically a copy of the Chevy RO7 after all ). With two new teams for Bowyer and Mears some teething troubles should be expected, though I doubt the results will improve at the 07 much anyway, sorry Casey. The real "stinker" is Burton in the #31 with two horrible performances so far this year. He better dial 411 and get some help quick or he will find himself in a dead zone that no amount of "network" following him will fix.

    Matt the title?? give me a break,,,and to say about JJ last three years is WRONG also*********
    Please if Nascar had the same system for points since it was created,,Jimmy Johnson WOULD NOT have won the last three titles in cup,,,,,Jimmy J won three titles what should be refered as WWE titles,,which are also FAKE...so,,in november does it really freaking matter???? NO,,it doesnt,,,not is WWE version of nascar,,why not just ask Vince Mcmahan create another version of the xfl for nascar..
    GO support your local dirt track or short track in your area,,better racing and always a great time,,with your whole famiy
