| Chumpcar Nashville 9 Race Report Posted: 03 May 2010 02:01 PM PDT  I'd just scarfed down a hot-off-the-grill bratwurst when the car came zooming into the pits from its second stint on the rain-drenched Nasvhille Superspeedway a few minutes earlier than expected. Turns out the driver was rapidly becoming a Klingon due to a too-tight helmet. I was so eager to hop in the car I forgot I was wearing a plastic poncho...
