		<description><![CDATA[I was watching the movie A Clockwork Orange the other night.  There is a scene where Malcolm McDowell, having been &#8220;rehabilitated&#8221; and returned to society incapable of defending himself, is being beat up by an old man.  He can&#8217;t even defend himself.  For some reason, it made me think of Kyle Busch.

		<description><![CDATA[The whole RCR appeals process raised more questions than it answered.  The RCR appeal is dead:  Here's the issue now.  John Middlebrook, NASCAR's chief appellate officer, will hear RCR's (final) appeal tomorrow.  He has a major advantage in that he can pretty much run the appeal however he wants.  If I were in Mr. Middlebrook's shoes, here's what I'd do.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here's the fast analysis of the statement from NASCAR upholding the penalties on the 33-car from New Hampshire.  More will follow after proper digestion and reflection.  This is an interpretation of the penalty upholding statement (as reported by Jeff Gluck) because that's the first tweet I saw.  The panel's statements are in italics and my interpretation in non-italics.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 5 car got sent to the back for the start of the race last Sunday at Dover after qualifying third when their shocks didn't clear post-qualifying inspection.   Shocks and springs work together to control the rate at which the body of the car moves.  The ideal attitude is the hound dog position:  nose down, tail up, as demonstrated in the photo at right by my capable assistant Darwin.  That position prevents air from getting underneath the car and it sticks the spoiler up in the air as much as possible, which means that more air hits it and creates more downforce.]]></description>

"The Associated Press has learned that NASCAR warned teams during the offseason that public criticism of the sport would no longer be tolerated, and at least two star drivers have been fined — one as much as $50,000 — for comments that were deemed destructive to the industry."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, this is a minor one to start with, but one that I think could be pretty easily addressed. The Issue I&#8217;ve written two posts explaining how the drivers determine Pit Road speed (1 and 2), so I won&#8217;t repeat here why the cars have tachometers instead of speedometers, and how the gearing choices determine <a href='http://www.buildingspeed.org/blog/2010/01/eight-issues-nascar-needs-to-address-in-2010-number-eight-eliminate-pit-row-speeding-penalties/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
