What's a 'Chad Finchum'?

He starred in last week's Xfinity Demolition Derby at Texas Motor Speedway. He appeared in 2 crashes, the second of which absolutely destroyed the rear end of the racecar...probably going to be one of the hardest hits this season of the national series...but the TV missed it so it'll fade away from memory.

Found a still image at least

Chad didn't even get close to John Wes Townley caliber. It looked like his car was set up for ice racing
 
I know I'm liable to crucifixion on here for mentioning weather more than 3 hours before the green flag but it's looking like another Monday race...

Sounding like rain for Sunday and really cool (upper 40's) on Monday. Bristol had never had a race delayed because of rain until a couple of years ago. If Sunday's is delayed, that will make it 3 out of 5 races to be delayed.

'Dinger scraped the right rear in 1st practice. Harvick clipped the apron, cut a tire, and ate the wall; looks like it may require a backup.

Aunty is asleep at the switch, Goodyear brought different left side tires and changed the stagger quite a bit
