Mark Martin Awarded 1990 Championship Title
DAYTONA BEACH (AP) -- After a comprehensive review of race and penalty procedures, NASCAR announced Tuesday afternoon that Mark Martin was the rightful NASCAR Microsoft Cup Series champion in 1990 and has awarded him with the title. NASCAR says record books will reflect the title.
The move comes three weeks after Mark Martin was credited with winning the 2007 Daytona 500 after the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona finished under caution, which prompted the formal review of procedures.

BREAKING: Paul Menard Smiles
FOX Sports -- Multiple sources have recently confirmed that Paul Menard smiled Tuesday evening. Although the sources chose to remain anonymous, all of their stories lined up and they all mentioned this incident occurred inside a Home Depot. We decided to contact Paul himself about this report and asked him if it was true. Paul replied, "I regretfully have to be honest with you and say that these reports are indeed true. I was strolling through a Home Depot Tuesday night out of boredom. I noticed that their hammers were $0.02 more expensive than what you can buy at Menard's, and I smiled because I realized I saved $0.02 when I purchased a hammer last week from my dad's store. Things are tough in this current economy and every penny I can save will go a long way. At least now I know I won't go hungry next week." FOX Sports will continue following this story and will let you know if any new details are provided to us.

Darrell Waltrip Gets Bit By A Gopher
ESPN -- Jeff Glazer from ESPN has recently received word from NASCAR on FOX personnel that Darrell Waltrip is currently being hospitalized after sustaining a gopher bite. Earlier this evening rumors surfaced that the 1989 Daytona 500 winner was transported to Owensboro Hospital via helicopter. Initial reports suggested that he had succumbed to asphyxiation due to inhaling his brother's hot air, but we have now learned that he was bitten in the arm by a gopher. A relative of Darrell has told us that he is currently in stable condition but will be closely monitored over the next 24 hours.
According to Dale Earnhardt Jr, who was with Darrell at the time of the incident, Darrell was yodeling Boogity Boogity Boogity in his backyard in preparation for the 2017 Daytona 500. The two were also meeting to discuss how more air time could be given to Earnhardt in the upcoming NASCAR on FOX season. During Darrell's yodeling rehearsal, a small gopher popped up in between Darrell's feet and caused him to inadvertently perform the Ickey Shuffle. Darrell lost his balance, fell on the ground, and was then bitten by the gopher. Earnhardt then went on to say, "Right after Darrell was bitten, he told me to grab his rifle out of his cabinet and then pull the trigger on that digger". Earnhardt said he declined because he had consumed a few too many Budweisers over the course of the afternoon.
We will keep you updated on any further developments. You can follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and the ESPN app on your mobile device.

Nascar Shakes Up 2018 Schedule, Slates 500 Milers For Riverside and Langhorne Raceways
Nascar's weekly conference call with reporters is often a mundane affair, serving little more purpose than beating the drum for the up coming race interspersed with plugs for sponsors products. Until last Tuesday. Who could have expected the Chairman's Message (sponsored by Nationwide Insurance and presented by Whiskey River Bar & Grill) to drop a bombshell of epic proportions like this.
When Nascar's CEO began his weekly address to the press corps, he immediately seemed energized and animated. "I don't need no stinkin' coffee in the morning. I've got 5-Hour Energy, Mountain Dew, Monster, and NOS, and I wash 'em down with Miller Lite" said Dale Earnhardt Jr., now in his second year at the helm of the stock car juggernaut. "When Dirty Mo Productions launched our hostile takeover bid for Nascar last year, our promise was to return the sport to its roots, to honor our history of greatness by perpetually re-living it. When Jim France and Lesa France Kennedy tendered their shares to Dirty Mo, they expected bold action to be taken. And we are now delivering on our promise to them."

Daytona moves back to its roots
Structural integrity continues to baffle engineers that thought they had completed the Daytona Rising Project. Cracks continue to form in the support piers under the enormous main grandstands. It is thought that the existing structure will have to be raised and replaced before Daytona International Speedway is capable of hosting future events. Currently plans are for the venue to reopen in 2018. This has caused the cancelation on the next two Daytona 500's. No fear race fans, NASCAR has anounced a return to its roots, as in... Back to the beach! The next two Daytona events will be run on the original course. Details to be announced in the coming days.
