Well, this is coming out end of week. 1) we have a bye week in NASCAR so there will only be one This Week and 2) I was at all the MLB All Star activities so I could not pull together all my usual articles. Once NASCAR or a site covering NASCAR starts paying me I will be more then glad to give up a night out with my buddies for 24/7 NASCAR articles.
