Four Wide: Strangely enough, wrecks aren't good for backs

Every day, we bring you the best in NASCAR news and information. Get your day rolling right ... or left, whichever.

• Probably the last thing Jeff Gordon needed going into Watkins Glen was a bad wreck that would further injure his back. And then ... [Yahoo! Sports]

• Jalopnik comes up with ten ways to "fix" NASCAR. They're solid enough ideas -- nothing we haven't already discussed here -- and run the gamut from necessary to merely interesting to cheap-shot. Worth a glance. [Jalopnik]

• JGR driver Brad Coleman hit a coyote back in June while traveling at 190 mph. If you think that wouldn't leave much of the coyote, you'd be right. But there's enough in the pictures at All Left Turns to turn your stomach. This is your final warning -- don't click on the link if you're eating. Not even Acme's going to be able to put this guy back together. [All Left Turns]

• ESPN is open to earlier start times for East Coast races next season. Not much, but it's a start. [Scene Daily]

• No more comeback for Michael Schumacher. Too bad. [Axis of Oversteer]

• Nice article on Nationwide driver Ken Butler III, who's dealing with the "stigma" of being a rich kid. (First tip for blending in: ditch the Roman numeral.) [Catchfence]
