I wonder if Fox will acknowledge CNBC in the title of this race on Sunday. CNBC is a direct competitor to their Fox Business Channel, seems to me there might be a conflict of interest. They may be calling it the "Phoenix 500" all day long.

Wouldn't that depends on whether or not CNBC also brought the naming rights or something as well as the sponsorship rights?

Not sure, but I remember last year when there was so much controversy over the NRA sponsoring the Texas race, Fox didn't acknowledge the title sponsor and referred to it all night as the "Texas 500". Granted, this is a little different situation, but I'm just wondering if they'll take the same approach.

Yea, I was thinking of the NRA 500 controversy as well.
 
OH WELL, Phoenix weather.

Stenhouse just said 'Ouch!'

Man, I'm not a Stenhouse fan but the guy's gotta have better odds than his roommate. I'm just sayin.
 
If it rains in the desert on Sunday I will call BS on the US not having a dooms day weather weapon.

Not sure if this has been declassified yet or not but I'll take my chances. They have been testing the all-new Air Titan II and these are the results. I understand that this photo was recently taken over Bristol Motor Speedway sometime early January. That's what Brian said anyway.

I like giving you guys a moment from the upcoming tracks history each week. The Bowyer/Gordon thing is too obvious so I went with this one instead.

 
Slight change to the tv sched. Saturdays on track activity scheduled for fs2 has been moved to fs1
 
Saturday has been upgraded to a washout, the rest looks pretty good so far.

I wonder what 'FOX Box' we'll get this weekend? I thought their first version was waay too big but the updated version for the 500 was fine by me. I like that they get scrolled through the field at a fast pace. The old one did tend to take a long time to get through the field.

There'll be all kinds of desert critters trying to climb into the stands and rattlesnake hill will probably be just that a hill of rattlesnakes. :eek:

Rattlesnakes are overrated, scorpions are the critters that I dislike the most. We run into rattlers all the time when out prospecting and shooting, they seldom act aggressive but I have been chased by a few with a bad attitude.
