Espionage? It's not like they are special.

All the cars are built equally and to the same specifications. It's not like anything was gained unlike F1 where every car is engineered differently.

Most of Nascar is highly controlled (like F1 is now becoming) and the builders have very little control or say in how the car is built.

I think if anything, Nascar should be claiming espionage on the FIA for stealing their regulation books.

I definitely am (if you are referring to being drunk). I spent the night down at our local baseball stadium (Camden Yards in Baltimore) for a all hands on wine tasting function for our Alumni. Boy was it good.

No crap. I was double fisting wine one minute, snatching up crabcakes, lamb, and killer cheese. Next thing I know I'm on my ass. Then I had a craving for a nice Guinness after the event which I did satisfy shortly after.
