Little Bit of 'Dis, Little Bit of 'Dat from Dover
Autism Speaks - For the second-straight year, the spring Sprint Cup race at Dover has partnered with Autism Speaks as a way to promote the organization's cause. For more about the program, check out the Autism Speaks web site.
Essentially, the race helps out Autism Speaks, and more specifically in 2008 the Student Clubs for Autism Speaks, by giving the organization a ton of exposure to the NASCAR world, a portion of ticket sales are donated to the foundation, and several different auctions and other ways of giving are held.
Competition Caution - NASCAR told the teams Sunday morning that lap 30 of today's 400-lapper at Dover will feature a competition caution to allow all teams to check tire wear after storms on Saturday wiped the race track clean of all rubber that had been laid down. There is to be no re-fueling by any teams until after that caution.
Kyle Busch & His Antics - They just keep getting better, don't they? In case you missed it, Kyle got wrecked during Saturday's Nationwide race at Dover by his teammate at Braun Racing Jason Leffler.
It wasn't intentional -- Leffler just got loose -- but Busch took it that way. His reaction to the accident is a must-read, must-see, and guess what? Click here for more.
FanHouse Predicts: Best Buy 400
With the rain this weekend at Dover, drivers not only got limited practice time on Saturday morning, but the track will be much different than when they last turned laps on it.
We've seen this race dominated before, and today, I think we'll it dominated again. Jeff Gordon led 381 of 400 laps in route to winning this event in 2001, and with a new contract signed this week with hometown sponsor Dupont, I think he's going to be tough to beat.
Will it be a dominating performance? I doubt it, but he's got the track position starting seventh, and you can imagine that Dover is going to be the perfect place for someone to, uh, knock Kyle Busch out of the way after his previous two-months of making enemies at every turn.
The Best Buy 400 winner? Jeff Gordon.
Enjoy the race.

Congratulations to Kyle Busch for another spectacular win. I feel bad for those in the 10 car wreck but the best driver won!
I started watching NASCAR because of Kyle, he just goes all out and if nothing happens to his car/truck, he will win no matter what.
Keep on winning safely Kyle.
