Jimmy Spencer's return to the track following a week off with no pay was rather eventful. Spencer lost control of the Sirius ride today and smacked the wall. Spencer had to take a provisional.
Newman had a little better luck, turning a hot lap at 169.048 miles per hour. He'll start up front right next to Jimmie Johnson.

You see, Richard Rodriguez has spent the past eight days on a rollercoaster setting a world record.
Rodriguez rode for eight continuous hours followed by a fifteen minute break over and over again, day and night for eight days.
He rode with ordinary visitors to the park and he rode by himself.
Rodriguez is a university lecturer from Chicago who's dubbed the King of Rollercoasters.
He did have doctors to ensure he did not suffer any physical damage. (------------)
