Four Wide: Is NASCAR headed for the Middle East?

Bringing you the best in NASCAR news and opinion. Get your day started right ... or left, whichever.

• Petty of Arabia? Gillett, majority owner of Richard Petty Motorsports, has entered into a commercial services agreement with a Saudi Arabia-based sports marketing firm that could -- could -- bring a version of NASCAR to the Middle East. Start your jokes now. [NASCAR.com via Yahoo! Sports]

• Fun article on practical jokes in NASCAR. You'll never forget what Dale Earnhardt once did to Darrell Waltrip. Boogity boogity, indeed. [Augusta Chronicle]

Denny Hamlin heard there was something called a "FedEx Cup," and so carved up an entire golf course trying to win it. (Hint: satire.) [The Onion]

• Tim Richmond jazzercises, and more stuff you can't unsee in the new Rick Hendrick documentary. [Hampton Roads Online]

• Was Joey Logano's wreck caused by the Car of Tomorrow? The appropriately-named Stock Car Spin considers the possibility. [Stock Car Spin]

• Bidding farewell to Jim Beam with this gem of a video. Don't play this one at work, or with kids around, or your mother, or really anyone. Seriously. This might knock birds out of the trees. [All Left Turns]
