Opinions on Racing
"The body has only five races on it, because the other one was all crumpled up. We do a lot of beating and banging and pushing each other around, so they get a little beat up." So noted one of the crewmen for Stafford Late Model driver Chuck Zentarski in describing the comparative cleanliness of […]
Jeff Gordon picked up his third win of the season in the Protection 400 at Kansas Speedway; which gives him the distinction of being the only Winston Cup driver to win at this speedway. It was Gordon’s 61st win in the Cup series; fairly remarkable in itself. Ryan Newman finished in second, third place went […]
With the final weekend of September, two racetracks take center stage with big events. The newest is the Kansas Speedway, where the Winston Cup and Grand National cars will race. Greg Biffle holds a 35-point lead on Jason Keller and the two have won four times apiece, with Keller having one more top five (16) […]
They may have to change the nickname of Dover Int’l Speedway, for The Monster Mile wasn’t quite so monstrous this weekend. While actually racing there is certainly a chore, the dearth of yellows made for a pretty tranquil and anticlimactic weekend. The only really newsworthy item was Scott Wimmer’s breakthrough win, his first and also […]
Hold on – here is the bump and the SPIN OUT! I’m just a FAN who expects the best from NASCAR’s top racing series, but this past weekend had to be one of Travis Carter’s most embarrassing weekends as a Winston Cup car owner. I know his world came crumbling down after Kmart pulled his […]
For the second time at Dover and the third time this season Jimmie Johnson takes the checkered flag. Winning the MBNA All American 400; puts Johnson in a tie for the most wins during a rookie season. The tie is with Tony Stewart from his 1999 season. Unfortunate incident — Johnson’s crew chief, Chad Knaus, […]
The winner of the most races this year is ninth in points. The point leader has just one win. For the last eighteen seasons the winner of the most races won the championship only eight times. The title was clinched before the last race the last four seasons, and not since 1992 has there been […]
Hold on – here is the bump and the SPIN OUT! Party today but dread tomorrow, has got to be the current emotions surrounding Ford and it’s racing program. With Ryan Newman’s sprint to the top 10 in Winston Cup points over the last several races and adding his first Winston Cup win last weekend […]
Even before the New Hampshire weekend it should have been clear that those bulldozers Rusty Wallace recommended for New Hampshire Int’l Speedway are needed to bulldoze his mouth, because his opinions are not worth a damn. His driving wasn’t worth a damn at New Hampshire either – James Ince called him a has-been after blocking […]
Once again – traveling caused me to miss watching this one. But, how could you not know a win by this young man would come to pass this season! The way Ryan Newman has been running these last few races, it was inevitable he would pick up that first win. Congratulations on winning the New […]
