The tallglassofmilk has been under the weather for a couple of days, so this weekend's wrap up is late and a lil' short.
Racing Highlights
NCTS: Johnny Benson won the truck race in his home state of Michigan and joined the elite group of drivers who have won a race in all three premier NASCAR series.
Busch: David Gilliland is the first non- Buschwhacker to win a race this season and did so in Kentucky without a fulltime ride or sponsor and with a green over-the-wall crew.
Cup: Kasey Kahne sat on the pole and won the rained-out race at MIS--his fourth win for the season, third from the pole.

Kasey's Teammate or Boss's Girlfriend
Q. Everyone around the garage knows that Ray Evernham and Erin Crocker are dating even though a lot of fans seem to be in complete denial. What I'm wondering though is why no one else in the media has acknowledged it.
A. The tallglassofmilk can't say for sure, but presumes that it is because those media outlets want continued access to the EMS owner and his drivers, which they may not get if they write about Ray's personal life. Despite some reader's opinions that TGOM is a professional writer, she lacks this access already and does not have that to lose by writing the story.
TGOM can confirm that at least two of Ray's drivers, in addition to Erin, are aware of the relationship and imagines the others are as well, as is most everyone in NASCAR, including other members of Team Evernham, members of Team Dodge and the rest of the NASCAR garage.
The news caused quite a media frenzy in Dallas and recently TGOM was advised that NASCAR has requested that Ray E. come forward or drop the affair altogether. The latter doesn't seem likely at this point as the two have taken up residence together.
TGOM can also advise that while this story is widely known, as is it's origin on Answer this..., she has received no word from any of the aforementioned parties of any falsities since it's posting on April 29.
I don't make up the answers, I just answer the questions. I can't help it people don't always like 'em.
Readers can probably better answer this...
Q. When did Tony Stewart become as popular as Junior?
A. When he won his first championship? His second? TGOM does not have a definitive answer to this... and invites readers to leave theirs.

Q. Anyone else think that Smoke seemed a little put off by his dad's rotten answer to Dick Berggren's interview question of what he was like as a child?
