Track Smack: Looking back at the life of Bill France Jr. (cont'd)

Dave Rodman: If Jack Roush, Greg Biffle and Chip Ganassi are now giving frequent flyer credits, there are.

Raygan Swan: Krissie is getting her helicopter pilot's license so she can scoot her hubby from track to track.

Mark Aumann: No kidding?

Raygan Swan: Yeah, she's a bad-ass!

Mark Aumann: Somehow I get flashbacks to "Magnum P.I." when thinking about that. Ryan Newman and Tom Selleck -- separated at birth.

Dave Rodman: I know the full-time guys have no choice, but for the life of me I can't figure why on earth Bowyer, Biffle, Bliss and Stremme would subject themselves to it?

Mark Aumann: Carl's almost to the point where he could afford to miss three races and still hold a comfortable lead.

Raygan Swan: True dat, Mark. And he's creeping on a Cup win, but Carl has too much fun to miss a race. If you don't believe me, just ask him. "It was a blast" -- that's all he says these days.

Dave Rodman: And you'd have to think that with his breakthrough at Kansas City that Chip would reward Scott Lagasse with the whole weekend, instead of just standing-in for Stremme?

Mark Aumann: The sad thing: Montreal is the same weekend as the next Pocono race, but I don't know how many were going to make both. The timing is very difficult.

Dave Rodman: Full-timers might not have much choice, but by then it might be a moot point for J.J. and David.

Mark Aumann: That was a nice run by Lagasse in the ARCA race, and Scott Wimmer's been tearing it up. Good to see some fresh faces on the Busch leaderboard.

Dave Rodman: At any rate, if we're talking outdoing anyone with travel stories, whoever does it will have to go a long way to out-do Jack and Carl's scarefest up there two years ago.
