1. Hawkeye asks: With all the talk surrounding Tony Stewart fielding free-agent offers already, what makes the most sense for him? Should he stay or should he go?
Brian De Los Santos	Pete Pistone
Using the old "if it ain't broke" philosophy, most people would say it makes the most sense to stay with Joe Gibbs Racing. But would it make any less sense if he left for a ride with Hendrick Motorsports because he would rather drive a Chevy? I don't think this is simply a ploy for more money because I'd think JGR and Toyota would open the vault regardless. It just seems to me that he really wants to reunite with Chevrolet and, in the end, I think he'll end up leaving -- though I'm not sold that buying into Haas CNC is the way to go. I blogged about a couple of ways I see this situation playing out.	I can't imagine why anyone would want to leave Joe Gibbs Racing these days. JGR has by far been the dominant team in the early going and has completely turned around the Toyota Cup program. While Stewart hasn't won yet, he's knocked on the door several times and it's just a matter of time before the No. 20 rolls into Victory Lane. I personally think this is a negotiating ploy by Stewart, not that there aren't other opportunities out there with some ownership tied in, but in my mind he doesn't want to go anywhere. Can you imagine him running 15th every week with a lesser team just because he has an equity stake in it? Me either. The Chevy ties are tight and that could be driving some of this but I think Smoke should stay put and concentrate on driving, not take on the driver-ownership problems. Maybe Michael Waltrip can hold an intervention?

2. A two-fer about Talladega: A) Should Kyle Busch have been penalized for making his pass for the lead below the yellow line? B) Should NASCAR punish Kevin Lepage for causing big wreck in Nationwide race?
Brian De Los Santos	Pete Pistone
I didn't think much of it when it happened, but after watching the video of Busch's pass several times, I think a very good argument could be made for a penalty. Though there definitely was contact with Jimmie Johnson that pushed him well below the yellow line, I think Busch was already "out of bounds." I'd say the contact actually helped him get back in bounds because it shot Johnson up the track creating some room. As for Lepage, while that was one of the most ridiculous driving errors I've ever seen, I don't want to see NASCAR in the business of doling out penalties for stupid driving. If that were the case, the penalty fund would be mighty large.	First on Kyle, NASCAR made the right decision on the no-call when the No. 18 went below the yellow line for one simple reason -- he was forced there. If Busch would have dropped under the out of bounds line on his own accord and moved up a position, he certainly should have been penalized. But in this case with the crazy tight racing that was on display Sunday at Talladega, he simply took evasive action to avoid a wreck. As for Lepage, I initially thought he compounded the most boneheaded move I've seen in NASCAR in some time by not taking responsibility for causing that accident when he pulled out in front of the ongoing freight train of the lead pack. Lepage finally did apologize for the move, himself calling it a dumb mistake, so no NASCAR involvement is necessary. Thankfully for everyone's sake, no one was injured.

3. Who are your drivers to watch this weekend at Richmond? Who might surprise?
Brian De Los Santos	Pete Pistone
Well, for a favorite, look no further than the Gibbs Racing trio. Kyle Busch has finished fifth or better in five of his six trips to Richmond. Denny Hamlin has finished sixth or better in three of his four visits. Tony Stewart has three victories along with 12 top 10s in 18 starts at the track. I'm with Pete that Jeff Burton could surprise. Burton has been fabulous at the short tracks this season, winning at Bristol and finishing third at Martinsville. In fact, I like his RCR teammates Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick as well.	The spotlight will be shining so bright on Dale Earnhardt Jr. this weekend he'll probably squint all night long. The two-year anniversary of his last Cup win is here and it's been since the 2006 season at Richmond when Junior last visited Victory Lane. He'll tell you there's no pressure, but I believe the collar is starting to get a little tight these days. He'll be in the mix but Denny Hamlin is the guy to beat in my book. He loves RIR, it's a home race for the Virginian and he'd love to add another victory to his record in front of his hometown fans and family, just like he did at Martinsville. For a surprise, how about the quiet point leader Jeff Burton, who hasn't done much lately but still leads the standings and is another Virginian itching for a hometown win.
