Mark Martin gave up a spot in the show to watch it from home, and wouldn’t change a thing about his first weekend off in 622 NASCAR races.

Martin wasn’t sure how he’d feel watching Sunday’s race from Bristol Motor Speedway, but after dozing off twice during the 500-mile event, he realized he can live without racing.

“I never once wished I was out there,” Martin said Monday. “When they started the engines, there was a few seconds there that seemed a little bit eerie to me.

Telecommunications giant AT&T filed a motion Monday, asking that its logo be added to Jeff Burton’s car immediately.

The motion was filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, where the company also filed its lawsuit against NASCAR. A hearing on the motion has not yet been scheduled.

Burton is sponsored by cell phone service provider Cingular. AT&T recently took full ownership of Cingular as part of its recent merger with BellSouth and intends to eliminate the brand name.

Darrell Waltrip says the track, not the Car of Tomorrow, was the reason why most drivers didn’t like the car’s debut at Bristol. The more drivers run the COT, the better they will get and the more they will like it.

Want to ride with Dale Earnhardt Jr.? Well, we can’t put you in his Chevrolet Monte Carlo for one thing, there’s only one seat but we can put you inside his head.

After calling himself an idiot, Kyle Busch plays his cards just right…and then proves he’s still an idiot! Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin dominate…and lose! Jeff Burton proves he’s a class act.
