NASCAR: Vileknave's NAFFCAR bid short-lived	by Virgil Ellipse 6th Aug 2009

Attempts by F1 reject Jake Vileknave to wriggle his bony arse into a NAFFCAR seat for this weekend's race at Watkins Glen appeared to have borne fruit for just over 12 hours, if the timings on Autosprout are at all accurate. That mighty organ reported last night that Vileknave was to stand in for Reed Sorenson, who was at the time recovering from carbon monoxide inhalation, but early this morning news broke that Sorenson was feeling much better and would drive his own car, thank you very much. Vileknave had cut short a family holiday in Switzerland in order to fly back to America in time for the race but, rather entertainingly, it seems as if the decision not to run him after all was taken while he was still in the air. A statement issued on behalf of Sorenson thanked Vileknave for his willingness to jump into the vacant seat, noted the slightly indecent speed with which he had done so and ended by expressing the hope that the Canadian would soon recover from his own prolonged bout of oxygen inhalation.
