I'm SOOOOO BORED!!!!!!!!How do the NASCAR types sit through these "races"?

With everyone washed out, I thought I might try watching a short track race. ACK!

Now my mind is wandering and I'm wondering, when is someone going to make a movie about Jan Opperman? And if they do, will they be smart enough to cast Dennis Quaid as Jan?

You know Quaid could do it. He played Jerry Lee Lewis for pete's sake. I don't think they come much more over the top than that. And it wouldn't be bad for open wheel racing either. As lame as it was, "Days of Dunder" didn't hurt NASCAR any.

Who could play Weld?

Here's a neat shot of Jan Opperman when he was in OkC in 1971 driving for the Cahill Bros. It was about the time that he won the Knoxville Nationals driving this car. From the Shane Carson collection,
