Now, hold on – here is the bump and the SPIN OUT! Change, change and more change! I’m thinking, I’m not too hip on this NEW NASCAR that I am seeing these days. Actually, as a fan, I’m down right nervous and so should be NASCAR, the owners and drivers. Another track has gone corporate! […]
"They took this one away from me! They took this one away from me! We had it won and they took it away from me!" Well, Ricky Rudd won’t be saying that about this Sears Point race. He may still be PO’ed over the 1991 running, but now after the bitter pills of Richmond, Dover, […]
After three weeks of not winning when he should have, finally, Ricky Ruddy gets a break and wins the Dodge/Save Mart 350 on Sunday at the newly renamed Infineon Raceway located in Sonoma California. Rudd’s last win at this speedway was at the inaugural Winston Cup event in 1989. The tough luck that has plagued […]
SERIOUS MONEY: One has to wonder what would have happened had Sirius Satellite Systems given the money to the #7 team instead of spending it on sponsoring the Michigan race? And they’ve also signed on to sponsor a race at another ISC track, Watkins Glen. PROPAGANDA WEB SITES: It seems that one of the four […]
The actual halfway portion of the Winston Cup season does not come until Chicagoland in mid-July, but with the pending end of the June swing the halfway portion of the calendar approaches, and quite a bit has happened in fifteen races so far. So it makes some sense to take a look at where the […]
First, I must take a moment to congratulate the Detroit Red Wings on winning the Stanley Cup. I was pleasantly surprised to see Carolina play the Wings as well as they did and they deserve a ton of credit. Now, hold on – here is the bump and the SPIN OUT! QUICK BUMP ZONE! Quick […]
The first big story of the weekend came when Billy France made a tardy announcement – that low-ride-height violations for race winners will now result in a loss of points – tardy because the loss of points realistically should have been part of the package of punishing post race inspection failures long ago. Despite raindrops […]
For the third time this year, Matt Kenseth was able to bring it home to pick up the win Sunday in the Sirius Satellite Radio 400 at Michigan International Speedway. A late race caution; red-flagged with five laps to go, ensured a somewhat dicey finish, but Kenseth, on old tires, held on for the win. […]
As most race fans know, the explosion of NASCAR’s popularity has brought new racetracks in the country that want race dates. I live in Syracuse, NY which is not too far away from Watkins Glen. So New York does have a track and we also have the Pocono track. But these two tracks are poor […]
DAYS OF WONDER: What happened to the good old days when only country stars were interested in stock car racing? First Fox gives us their awful CD, now Britney Spears wants to play a stock car driver in a movie, and her inspiration is Days of Thunder? RACE-ISM: Some "performer" who goes by the name […]
