Opinions on Racing
Hold on – here is the bump and the SPIN OUT! Before I begin the SPIN, I have to spill my guts about a few issues. I really wasn’t going to say anything, but no one seems to be talking about it. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that every since the […]
It was a Dodge weekend. Robert Pressley opened things up by winning the Craftsman Truck 200 at Michigan. Casey Atwood then won the ARCA Summer 200 at Pocono in a ray Evernham R&D car. Saturday then wrapped when Hank Parker Jr. played the fuel game to win at Pikes Peak. Dodge then dominated the Summer […]
Hank Parker Jr.’s Dodge took the win in the Busch Series at Pikes Peak; Robert Pressley, winner in the Craftsman Truck Series race held in Michigan; the ARCA RE/MAX race in Pocono brings Casey Atwood a much needed boost, and became a prelude to the final act where teammate, Bill Elliott, took the lead from […]
Hold on – here is the bump and the SPIN OUT! Have you ever found yourself watching a NASCAR Winston Cup race and questioning why you like a specific driver more than another? Whether you like Ricky Craven for the person he is or because you use Tide everyday when doing laundry, there is something […]
Having digested the varied coverage of NHIS, some follow up observations: That a fundamental change is occurring with Winston Cup drivers was shown in several incidents. A reporter at NHIS tried to ask a well-known Winston Cup driver – who has won at least one championship – some questions after the race, and that driver […]
Three races, two wild endings, and another win for one division’s newest dominator. And that was Saturday – Sunday saw multiple cautions, frustration galore, some surprisingly good racing, and a forgotten star’s comeback. Saturday at New Hampshire International Speedway was even more chaotic than normal. Two scheduled races became three with an ill-timed rainout from […]
Ward Burton picked up his second win this week, and to make it even sweeter, at the "hometown" track for crew chief, Tommy Baldwin, Loudon, New Hampshire! Burton passed race leader, Matt Kenseth, with ten laps to go to pick up the win. Kenseth had a tire go down and ended up finishing way back […]
So will he or won’t he? Will Ricky Rudd bring an end to his racing career after 2002 – says Rudd, "I’ve got a young boy at home (Landon), seven years old, that would like to have his dad go watch him play baseball at the games and stuff."1 – or will he sign with […]
RIP, ANDY KIRBY: First thing I heard this morning was that three-time track champion at Fairgrounds Speedway at Nashville Andy Kirby had been killed in a motorcycle accident. Andy was 7th on the all time win list at Fairgrounds, and I think if he’d had decent equipment in his brief Busch Series career, he’d have […]
New Hampshire now beckons. Some pre-Loudon miscellanea – Maybe Jimmy Spencer should be an out-of-bounds lane. Spencer screamed about Kevin Harvick passing on the apron of the tri-oval at Chicagoland and claimed there should be out-of-bounds lanes there as well as at Daytona. Spencer is wrong. Harvick’s move was dumb not because he went to […]
