Four Wide: Jimmie Johnson could be going for Cup No. 7

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

• Could be worse, you know. Jimmie Johnson could be going for his seventh straight Cup championship. As it is, he's just going for No. 4 ... and, apparently, a role in the next Sex and the City flick.  [Unrestricted]

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is in a death spiral! Or maybe he's just a little bummed. There's not a whole lot of gray area with the tabloids. [National Enquirer]

• Good news: North Wilkesboro Speedway will rise from the dead! Wait a minute ... I read "Pet Sematary" ... this may not turn out like we're all hoping ... [Scene Daily]

• More good news: ABC's ratings for Texas were about the same as last year. Keep in mind, these days staying steady = getting ahead. [Scene Daily]

• Want to buy Michael Schumacher's 1994 Benetton B194? Head on over to ebay, but scrape up a whole lot of cash. No, more than that. More. More. You know what? Maybe you should sit this one out. [Axis of Oversteer]

• "Faced with heightened demands from its official partners, NASCAR is responding with a series of new programs to freshen its business-to-business council and create more retail opportunities for its consumer brannnzzzz ..." wha? Oh, sorry, drifted off. This is something about NASCAR and business partners. I bet terms like "synergy" and "brand activation" were thrown about like beads at Mardi Gras. More racin', less multivalent consumer-facing solutions management!  [NASCAR.com via Y! Sports]
