And now, a brief NASCAR moment

In which two facts of interest will be passed along:

1. The fact that, yes, they're still racing. A public service announcement for the 99.7 percent of America who stopped paying attention back at the start of the NFL/college football season.

2. The additional fact that the Final Four headed to Homestead next week are Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski.

(No, Jimmie Johnson did not make it. I know. It seems like Jimmie Johnson wins every year. Well, he doesn't. Neither does Jeff Gordon. He's retired, in case you hadn't heard.)

So who will win?

Well, if there's any reverence for a storyline left in NASCAR, it will be Truex, who's won seven times this season, dominated the points and has the additional benefit of being an underdog, seeing how he's the only driver for something called Furniture Row Racing.

But since there isn't any reverence for a storyline left in NASCAR, Busch, who's won six times this year, will probably win. He's the best wheel man in the sport when he's right, and the guy the discerning observer would pick if he had to pick one guy to win one race. And if he doesn't win, Harvick probably will, seeing how he always seems to be up front when it matters, too.

So there you have it. You may now resume watching the Bears and the Packers, though God knows why.
