Every day, we bring you the best in NASCAR news and opinion. Get your day rolling right ... or left, whichever.
• Despite the fact that he's from North Carolina and will now play hoops in Indy, Tyler Hansbrough is not a NASCAR fan. So of course he roots for Dale Earnhardt Jr. [NASCAR.com via Yahoo! Sports]
• The Allstate 400 will no longer be sponsored by Allstate. Wait, they can leave the race named for the company and not pay? Why doesn't everybody do this? (Seriously -- bad news for Indy. Hoping this doesn't become a trend.) [Yahoo! Sports]
• Is Joe Gibbs Racing running out of time to save its 2009? Perhaps. Kyle Busch has to get on the stick, that's for sure. But as the 2008 Chase showed, anybody can get hot -- or cold -- at any time. [Fox Sports]
• Jeff Gordon's celebrity bowl-a-thon in Indy raised a quarter-million for the Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. Greg Biffle, Sam Hornish Jr., Kasey Kahne and Kurt Busch were among the celebs in attendance. Carl Edwards was not invited, because he bowls overhand. [Scene Daily]
• Sprint Cup may slowly be merging into the Nationwide series. Yes, you read that correctly. Bleacher Report explains all. [Bleacher Report]
• Surveying the good (Martin v. Johnson), the bad (unhappy fans) and the ugly (conspiracy theories) of the Indy race. [Bump-Drafts]
