CARL EDWARDS ON 'LATE LATE SHOW'

Posted 11/25/09 at 11:04 AM PST

Maybe it's because I don't watch a lot of late-night television, but this clip made me realize Craig Ferguson gives a really good interview. Carl Edwards - who will never be mistaken for a big personality like Darrell Waltrip - comes off well in this segment on the "Late Late Show." Edwards and Ferguson talk about the Talladega crash, flying and fatherhood. (Can you spot the theme? It's fear.) Good stuff. Video below.

CONGRATULATIONS TO PAUL MENARD, YOUR 2009 FLOPPER AWARD WINNER

Posted 11/25/09 at 8:00 AM PST
 
By starting his car at Sunday's race in Homestead, Paul Menard took home the 2009 FLOPPER (Finishes Last in Overall Points while Participating in Every Race) award. Much like his counterpart at the top of the standings, there wasn’t much doubt who was winning the hardware going into the final weekend of the season. The title was Menard’s to lose - and it proved to be the only thing he did not lose this season.
 
Mr. Menard follows in the footsteps of legendary drivers like Richard Petty, Dale Jarrett, Darrell Waltrip and Harry Gant. Former winners of the award also include Kyle Petty, Sterling Marlin, Ken Schrader, Brett Bodine and Bobby Hamilton. You see, Paul Menard, you are in elite company, and although a FLOPPER award might seem dubious … sorry, I have no way of finishing that thought. It’s very dubious. The full list of past winners is available here.
 
Of the 31 drivers who started every race, Menard took home a few statistical titles:

NASCAR SEEKS TO DENY MAYFIELD'S LAWYERS INFO FROM FRANCE'S EX-WIFE

Posted 11/24/09 at 12:15 PM PST

Jeremy Mayfield's lawyers are trying to collect information from a lawsuit Brian France filed against his ex-wife Megan in 2008. And in what is mostly likely not a coincidence, they have chosen Dec. 4 - the day of the Sprint Cup banquet - to depose France's ex-wife. The Frances were divorced in April 2008. Brian France sued his ex-wife in North Carolina Superior Court in September 2008. NASCAR has asked a federal court to block Mayfield's request for the information and is asking the court to move the deposition to later in the month. Per Scene Daily:

Mayfield’s attorneys issued a subpoena to Megan France last Friday requesting those documents as well as any joint tax returns for 2007 and 2008 and any mail addressed to Brian France in North Carolina. The reason stated for the request has to do with whether the federal court has jurisdiction or whether it should return the case to state court, according to NASCAR’s motion.

The contents of the civil suit between the Frances have been blocked from the public. The Charlotte Observer is calling for the contents of the case to be made public.
