[thumb:379:l:s=1:l=x]One of the big stories at the moment is David Gilliland. By now you’ve most likely heard all the rumors flying around. Robert Yates has a (supposed) one race deal with Gilliland to drive their #90 entry in the Busch race at IRP this weekend; Robert Yates has a press conference scheduled for Friday afternoon at Indy; Gilliland was interviewed at Pocono while eating M&M’s, and saying he should be able to announce something about his future soon; Then finally, the missing piece that pretty much sums up that Gilliland has signed with someone: Clay Andrew Racing announced Monday that they would be shutting their doors.

[thumb:347:r:s=1:l=x]In a continuation of the signs that Richard Childress Racing is returning to greatness, and worthy to be one of (if not the) story of 2006, Jeff Burton held on for his third pole of the year at Indy. RCR’s turnaround from recent years of struggling is nothing short of stunning.
