Yeley's back-up plan

J.J. Yeley is one of the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series drivers who will have to race his way into the All Star Challenge through the Nextel Open or get voted in by the fans on Saturday night at Lowe's Motor Speedway. But even if he doesn't, he will have a reason to hang around for the All Star Challenge.
If he doesn't qualify for the All Star Challenge, Yeley will get a chance to work as a pit reporter for SPEED for the race.
“If it happens, it’s going to be something different for me to do," said Yeley, driver of the No. 18 Chevrolet for Joe Gibbs Racing. "I’m sure I’ll be more nervous than I am in a race car, especially at the beginning. If I had my choice though, I would be in the race and someone else would be doing the TV duties, so we’ll see. I’m sure we’ll go chase down some crew chiefs and hopefully ask those guys some questions that they might not normally hear. Maybe we can get some top secret info that can help us in the Coca-Cola 600 the next week.”
