Texas and Kansas ... it’s all the same. Sort of. “They’re similar, but Chicago is a little faster with a little more banking,” said Jeff Gordon in comparing the one a half mile tri-oval to that of Kansas which from a glance looks exactly the same. Gordon shares a bond with Harvick in that he is the only driver to \Vin at Kansas. “The setups are close but not exact, and the way you drive them is similar but not exact. It’s definitely a track I would like to win at but win ning a championship is more important in the long run.” MEN ARE FROM MARS: Don’t look now but Ken Schrader is about to jump back into an M&M’s car. No, Elliott Sadler hasn’t been fired (has he?) but Schrader will be driving a ride sponsored by the candy manufacturer in the sec ond annual M&M’s Night of the Stars July 30 in Pevely Missouri. The race a 10-lap shootout with NASCAR drivers racing in dirt modified cars is part of a promotion to raise money for the Victory Junction Gang Camp, a entity whose mission is geared toward helping children with chronic and life-threatening illnesses. Last year the same event raised $114,626 for the cause. NOT HELEN: Got milk? Jason Keller does.

Also, Dale Earnhardt Jr. jumped back in front of Jeff Gordon as the man in closest striking dis tance to Matt Kenseth. On the other hand, Kenseth still leads by 180 points. That’s the biggest point spread with 19 races remaining since Ernie Irvan led Dale Earnhardt senior by 163 points in 1994 ... SIMPLY A GAS: One and two and three ... (long, long gap) and 6,349,000.

Benny’s 15+ minutes Here’s a random and unre lated thought for those who watched the Pepsi 400 Saturday: Did anybody but me feel it inappropriate for Benny Parsons to steal some of Greg Biffle’s thunder? I mean, he’s just won his first Winston Cup race but appar ently NBC thought that wasn’t the “big story.” It was how Parsons a great racer in his own right I’m sure discov ered the 34-year-old. How long will it be before we see a TBS interview featuring Chipper Jones with a scout piped in on the other line. “Oh yeah ... he is what he is because of me.” Sure scouting is very, very important but if we’re giving credit, let’s go to the source.

His bid for a fifth straight Tour de France title begins in earnest Wednesday in team time trials. By day's end, Armstrong hopes to be wearing the leader's yellow jersey. That would put him in excellent position before cycling's showcase race heads into the arduous climbs up the Alps on Saturday. Armstrong conserved his strength Tuesday and finished 69th in the third stage, won by Italy's Alessandro Petacchi. Armstrong is 12th overall, 19 seconds behind leader France's Jean-Patrick Nazon. On Wednesday, squads race separately against the clock over a 43-mile course. Each rider gets his team's time, meaning Armstrong's challengers _ or Armstrong himself could lose vital seconds or min utes if their squads perform badly. Wednesday "is really the first decisive move of the race," said Dan Osipow, general manager of Armstrong's U.S. Postal Service team. "With a bad team time trial, you can lose a handful of minutes and where do you find those minutes again when the Alps come?" he said. ’We want to gain time on all of our rivals." Armstrong's squad races last because it leads the overall stand ings among the Tour's 22 teams. That will allow the riders to see how ‘ Armstrong's rivals did. The route from Joinville to Saint- Dizier starts with a significant climb. Officials from Armstrong’s team scouted the route Tuesday. "The beginning's hard," Armstrong said. Last year, U.S. Postal placed second, 16 seconds behind the Once team. Armstrong is trying to match the record of Spain's Miguel Indurain, who won five straight Tours from 1991-95. He has played it safe so far, try ing to avoid accidents that pose a constant risk in the first week when riders are fresh and sprinters try to make the most of relatively flat and fast stages.
