It's time for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers to turn right again – for the second and final time this year – and right into a dispute.

The validity of road course races on the Cup schedule is a perennial source of debate each time we roll into Watkins Glen International and Infineon Raceway. One train of thought says we need more road courses on the schedule, while others suggest eliminating them entirely. However, I remain smack dab in the middle on this issue, content with the current arrangement and our bi-annual road course stops.

We're still a few months away from learning who the first five inductees into the NASCAR Hall of Fame will be, giving us a little time to banter back and forth about who should be in that critical first class.

I'm curious to see how everything plays out with the criteria for induction. With three premier but separate series – the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series – how do you arrive at the finalists given the dominant success several drivers have enjoyed across the three different divisions?
