| Harvick wins short track race | Tuesday 7/22, 5:06 PM CT |
|
Kevin Harvick won the 35th annual TD Banknorth 250, defeating some of New England's best drivers at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford Maine.
Our View: Any victory builds confidence. Harvick is winless on the Cup circuit and this should help his poise entering Indy. |

|
Clint Bowyer has told the media that he is not likely to run full time in the Nationwide series next year.
Our View: That puts a greater emphasis on winning the championship in 2008. so look for Bowyer and the Richard Childress Racing (RCR) team to continue to make a full court press. |

| Haas Racing trademarks No. 14 | Tuesday 7/22, 2:32 PM CT |
|
Joe Custer, general manager of Haas-CNC Racing, has applied for a trademark for the No. 14—presumably as a precursor to an announcement that will be Tony Stewart's number next year.
Our View: The No. 14 was made famous by another open wheel / stock car legend, A J Foyt. This would be a fitting tribute. |

| Labonte back in No. 45 at Indy | Tuesday 7/22, 1:17 PM CT |
|
Terry Labonte will be back behind the wheel for one more race at the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard as Kyle Petty waits one more week to rejoin the circuit.
Our View: This race is just too important to miss and Labonte's past champion's provisional will ensure that the No. 45 gets into the show. |

|
Reed Sorenson is still working on a contract extension with Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR), although he was not able to give a positive response in a press conference this week.
Our View: When asked by fellow driver David Reutimann about how it was going, Sorenson simply replied "Working on it," which is not exactly a glowing report. |
