Casey Mears is replacing Burton in Richard Childress Racing's No. 29 Chevrolet for Saturday's O'Reilly Challenge Nationwide Series race.

Enough energy drinks and beer to keep a refrigerator stocked for life. Enough cash to fill a starting field's worth of Brinks trucks. No problems getting dates on Friday nights during off weekends. That cool Western village in the backyard. Instant access to all the best simulator racing leagues. No wait for a table at any Charlotte-area TGI Friday's. A brand-spanking-new Camaro (we hope) sitting in the driveway -- in fire-engine red, of course.

One grew up in the heart of stock-car racing country; the other was raised in the land of cows, curds and Cheeseheads.

That he wound up 39th on the starting grid left him shocked, disappointed, and more than a little discouraged. Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:55:20 EDT
