No Room for another off day? Winston Cup drivers [and crew members, teams, media] begin a grueling stretch of 20 consecutive weeks of racing to end the season. Some have complained that the schedule is too unrelenting, and wish NASCAR could schedule an off-week as the season winds down. NASCAR chairman Bill France doesn’t see it happening, however. “I’m not sure where a whole lot of changes are going to come from,” he said Saturday. “There are only 52 weekends in a year. Maybe we can get a legislative group to see if we can make Sundays out of Wednesdays — turn it into 104 weeks, or something.”(NASCAR.com/AP)(7-7-2002)
