Tonights special guest; Mike Neff. Topics include; Is NASCAR at a loss to limit the number of teams one owner can control?; Some people had the audacity to suggest that the Bristol Cup race was boring. For those people that just can’t seem to enjoy real racing what can we do to liven up the racing product in NASCAR?; Jacques Villeneuve is Bill Davis Racing's newest driver in the Craftsman Truck Series. Beginning at September's CTS race at Las Vegas, the French Canadian will drive the final 7 truck series races this season, the ARCA race at Talladega and possibly a Cup race at the end of the year as well. How do you think he will do in his new motorsports career?; The Bristol Busch Series race was marred by a NASCAR scoring error against Kyle Busch that cost him a chance to run for the win. Busch was penalized with 77 laps to go because NASCAR said he violated the pit-road commitment line. He had to forfeit his second-place position, a penalty NASCAR later said was incorrect. Busch had to drop back to 28th and he finished 4th. What should've NASCAR done to correct their error and is an apology enough for this mistake?
