FOX in the Fast Lane: STP 400 (Kansas City)
NASCAR heads to Kansas City for the STP 400. Greg Biffle wants The Cup, Clint Bowyer takes the mound, and NASCAR goes green for Earth Day.
FOX News Radio’s Marghiee “Trackside” Teshineh has it all in this week’s “FOX in the Fast Lane”:
Audio clip:
For Roush Fenway’s Carl Edwards, winning at the mile-and-a-half track at Kansas would be a career milestone.
(Edwards) “There’s no bigger race on the schedule for me. To win at Kansas would be as big as winning the Daytona 500, it would be as big as the Brickyard 400 for me.”
Edwards’ teammate and current points leader Greg Biffle doesn’t just want to win Kansas, he wants to win it all!
(Biffle) “This year is my year. So I’m gonna keep after it. You know all the way to Homestead.”
Kansas native Clint Bowyer and crew chief Brian Pattie throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the Royals-Toronto Blue Jays game this week.
In honor of Earth Day, NASCAR will be promoting recycling and other environmental programs during race weekend at Kansas.
And the Ford Motor Company becomes the first car maker in NASCAR history to supply an all-electric car as the pace car. The new Focus Electric will lead the field next week at Richmond.

Earth Day?!?!? Really? NASCAR is turning into boring rolling billboards running around the track. The sport has given up it's soul to the advertising dollar.

No dollars, no racin. Maybe your hero Obama will use tax dollars to fund it.

I, too agree with AZWarrior. I, and many of my friends no longer watch any NASCAR races on TV. I'm tired of all the advertising, especially the numerous lengthily TV breakes, the annoying crawling/scrolling items on the screen and the high-pitched whinny women pit reporters! Btw, this is a men's sport so keep all the women out of it!

This sport died with Dale Sr. If you say anything other than darn you lose money and points and heaven forbid you show emotion towards another driver. It isnt racing anymore. Sad really because Iused to live for it and now I would rather watch paint dry.

Yes, Earth day. Gasoline, motor oil, ethanol, steel and race car drivers come from the earth. On earth these things cost money. Maybe it is not like that on your planet.

NASCAR races would be more entertaining if they would run a program like your local Saturday night dirt track.

I started watching NASCAR as a kid with the first televised Daytona 500 in '79. We used to go to Darlington twice a year and live on the infield for nearly a week. Had a blast!
I gave up on NASCAR 24 years later after the Sept, 2003 Richmond race. It had turned into a progressive circus. The vast majority of the great drivers were out of the sport by then anyway.

I saw it comming. Whats next? Al Gore threating fake, man made global warming and the Obumas pushing racial equality. It is a sad time in our history.

….as evidenced by all those large sections of empty seats that are cleverly covered with large advertising tarps.
It wasn't too long ago that you couldn't get a ticket to a Winston Cup race unless someone either died or it was willed to you….or you had to do something, ah, distasteful. …like spend a boat load of bux to a scalper.
This is just another sport that was ruined by big corporate interests which has certainly changed the 'soul' of NASCAR.

NASCAR needs to quit worrying about Earth day and focus on racing. Earth Day is for communists, because Greens are Reds.

@AZWarrior. Where have you been the past 50 years? NASCAR has always been plastered by ads, that's part of the sport.
