Four Wide: Brian France on competition and complaining

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

• Dustin Long posts a one-on-one interview with Brian France in which he discusses the criticism NASCAR has received from television commentators, among other subjects. Gotta say, he makes some good points here. Read this one with an open mind. [HamptonRoads.com]

• Following up on that, an interesting take on how the media shapes a negative perception of NASCAR. Uh-oh. Sorry 'bout that, folks. [The NASCAR Insiders]

• Do you know who Kevin Conway is? No? Well, he's going to be trying to make his Cup and Truck series debuts at Phoenix this weekend ... the first time anybody's ever attempted that. [Scene Daily]

• The Chase isn't really as wide-open as we all thought it was. Hell. (Aw, Jenna! Why you gotta spoil our fun, huh?) [Fryer's Five @ Yahoo! Sports]

• Grist for the Danica-bashers: Danica Patrick will struggle in NASCAR, no doubt about it. What, you think she's going to succeed where Juan Pablo Montoya, Sam Hornish Jr. and Dario Franchitti have scrabbled in recent years? [Scene Daily]

Jimmie Johnson didn't get out of his car during the hour-plus that his crew was working on the 48 on Sunday. And the fact that he didn't might just give him his fourth championship. [ESPN.com]
