Top 10 items possibly found in the Charlotte Speedway sinkhole

1. Clint Bowyer's 150 driver points.
2. A toupee worn by Burt Reynolds in his 1983 movie "Stroker Ace," filmed at the track.
3. The golden horseshoe that Kevin Harvick said Jimmie Johnson and the No. 48 team used when they won the Feb., 2010, race in Fontana, Calif., just in time for this weekend's race!
4. Parts to Darrell Waltrip's engine that mysteriously failed and ultimately avoided inspection after he drove to victory in the first NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race in 1985.
5. A strong, number-two wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers. No, scratch that, that hasn't been found yet.
6. Media center lasagna that's as edible as it was 30-plus years ago.
7. Naysayers who believed condominiums would never work at a race track.
8. Blueprints from the infamous T-Rex race car that Jeff Gordon drove to a dominating victory in the 1997 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race.
9. An I.O.U. from David Reutimann to Michael Waltrip for intentionally wrecking one of his cars in Kansas last weekend.
10. A peanut butter and banana sandwich left behind by "The King" Elvis Presley during his 1968 filming of "Speedway" at the track.
Not bad, but we think you guys can match that. Have your say, friends. What else is in that sinkhole?
Still, that sinkhole's going to need filling. NASCAR fans and drivers being who they are, I wouldn't be surprised to see someone try to dump reigning four-time champion Jimmie Johnson's 48 car in the hole. Gotta try to slow him down somehow.
