NASCAR's known as a sport of long-loyalties and lifetime contracts for drivers. So it was a big surprise last week when the sport's most popular driver announced he was becoming a "Free Agent" and leaving the team that bears his name.

Brett McMillan, Pit Reporter, Performance Racing Network; and host of The Alltel Pit Reporters

Adam LeBor, Central European Correspondent for The London Times, and author of "Complicity with Evil": The United Nations in the Age of Modern Genocide (Yale Univ. Press);
