		<description><![CDATA[Great comment from Robby on my post statistically comparing AJ Allmendinger and David Ragan:

    One thing you didn’t really factor which is a big deal to car owners is busted equipment. David Ragan destroys alot of race cars…AJ is one of the least wreck prone drivers in NASCAR. Ragan’s low finished were often a result of a wreck. AJ’s bad finishes were generally the result of bad handling cars or bad luck (Dover, Indy, Texas).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before Best Buy took their electrons (and dollars) to RoushFenway last week, everyone assumed David Ragan was a lock for the then-empty Penske 22 seat.  Once A.J. Allmendinger landed the 22 job, there&#8217;s been a lot of speculation on the relative merits of Ragan vs. Allmendinger.  Thanks to www.racing-reference.info, I was able to check some <a href='http://www.buildingspeed.org/blog/2011/12/moneycar/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

@jeff_gluck reports that @nateryan told Brian France that NASCAR seems like

    "...an autocratic regime that doles out punishment in a capricious manner."

While I agree with those sentiments entirely, a slightly different word comes to my mind:  "chicken%$!#"]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The NASCAR pundits have again simplified a complex situation.  Incorrectly.

The NASCAR Net is a-twitter since FOX floated a trial balloon about moving races from ESPN to SPEED.  I've heard the argument over and over, in print and on radio that this is a bad idea because EPSN is in 100 million homes and SPEED is in "only" 78 million homes.  They argue this would be a decline of 22 million potential viewers.  The question not being asked how many of those 22 million ESPN watchers are actually potential viewers?]]></description>
