Charlotte "News" and Notes

--So its time for a race at a place that used to be called Charlotte, then was called Lowes, and now is called Charlotte again, even though its in Concord North Carolina.

--Clint Bowyer is running a USO "Send Cheer" paint scheme this weekend, putting him in third behind Bobby Labonte and teammate Kevin Harvick for Most Paint Schemes in 2011.

--"This season, winning means more than ever, and Tony Stewart will do anything to win. He'll eat 14 Double Whoppers. He'll eat 15 Double Whoppers. He'll eat 16 Double Whoppers. He'll eat 17 Double Whoppers, if it helped him win."

--Sure, Jimmie Johnson is on the cover of Sports Illustrated, but only a small part of him. The bulk of the cover is taken up by his helmet. Does that mean that his HELMET is actually subjected to the SI Cover Jinx?

--David Gilliland is running a car sponsored by Philadelphia baking institution Tastykake. There's a bumper sticker you can buy up here that says "I BRAKE FOR TASTYKAKES". Teammate JJ Yeley plans to brake anyways for vibrationkakes.

--Here's to Chevrolet's 100th anniversary! I'm sure they'll be around for another…um, 7 years or so?
