This weekend at Las Vegas, NASCAR is trying out its new Aero Ducts. Fox had a bit of fun with their graphics:

Shanghai International Circuit Looks Like the Loch Ness Monster

All the important motorsports sites are discussing how having two DRS passing zones will affect the Chinese Grand Prix, or whether team drama, tire degradation, or hydraulic dampeners will be the story of the weekend. While examining the DRS map, all that ocurred to me was how much the track resembles the Loch Ness Monster. Herman Tilka said he was inspired by Chinese writing when he designed the track. I think we have uncovered the truth:


Enhanced:
F1 Formula 1 Shanghai International Circuit - Loch Ness Monster

Was it the Chinese symbol for "Nessy?" Is there a Chinese symbol for "Nessy?" These are the questions nobody else is asking.

Greg Biffle: Wizard

Greg Biffle pulled off a truly awesome move around the entire field at Talladega, avoiding the 25 car pileup to finish sixth. These screenshots only begin to tell the tale. Keep an eye on the 3M car if you find yourself Youtubing the wreck or catching a replay. It was truly championship caliber driving when he needed it most, after a shaky day that involved a couple close calls and near-disasters.

In his post race comments, Biffle lamented the lack of in-car camera, saying his view would've given ESPN some "million dollar shots." ESPN stayed true to form, promptly ignoring his accomplishment and failing to comment on or shine a spotlight on what he did.

Ladies and gentlemen, after displaying his ability to disappear in a cloud of Smoke when faced with a near-certain catastrophe and reemerge on the other side unscathed, I am forced to conclude that Greg Biffle is a wizard of some sort.

Clint Bowyer Changes 255 Tires at Indianapolis

I'm going through some of my older screen caps, when I ran across this funny little error from the 2011 running of the Brickyard 400.
