Bringing you the best in NASCAR news and information. Get your day rolling right ... or left, whichever. (Photo from NASCAR's HQ.)

• Larry McReynolds says today's drivers need to toughen up and quit whining about other drivers racing them hard. Say this for Larry -- he knows what resonates with the audience. [Fox Sports]

• McReynolds is also in the midst of a media fight with newspaperman Dustin Long over comments Long published by McReynolds. Was McReynolds too negative on NASCAR? Did Long not publish enough positive material? That's what's under debate. [The Daly Planet]

• Think that things can't go wrong for Jimmie Johnson at Talladega? Think again. Back in 2002, everything went wrong. [NASCAR.com via Yahoo! Sports]

AJ Allmendinger got tagged early Thursday morning for DWI. Drunk driving is not funny, and police did not say that Allmendinger was pulled over to the side of the road waiting for a pit crew to give him four and a splash. [That's Racin]

• Uh-oh ... Dale Earnhardt Jr. has entered the Top 10 in the FLOPPER (Finishes Last in Overall Points while Participating in Every Race) standings! Paul Menard still holds the lead, but still ... [All Left Turns]
