Diamond in the Desert

Las Vegas Motor Speedway has been called the "Diamond in the Desert." So far everything I've heard and read about the new track design suggests a faster and more dangerous set up. It's likely to have many cautions. I only hope that if there are any bad hits like the one David Reutimann took at California Speedway that the network has the decency to go to a commercial.

I'm not even guessing who'll win this one!!

A fire at Watkins Glen International yesterday destroyed The Glen Club but spared the track any damage. A track in my home state and I've driven past it many a time but never attended a race there. Happy to hear that no one was injured.
