"As for Sterling Marlin, he’ll need to explode into contention at Talladega to start a point rally." Well, there was some premature jocularity shown in last week’s missive on the point race. His bad Kansas crash, atop his bad Richmond crash, has put Jamie McMurry into the #40 for the rest of the season, and […]
On October 4th, 2001, stock car racing lost one of its future stars. Blaise Alexander, a happy-go-lucky 25-year-old from Montoursville, PA., tragically lost his life doing what he loved most, racing. Blaise began his racing career while driving go-karts at the age of 12 in the World Karting Association (WKA.) He won the 1992 East […]
Hold on – here is the bump and the SPIN OUT! I guess I need to BUMP myself for giving out bad statistics about Brett Bodine in my column last week. BOY HOWDY, I heard from the FUKUYAMA fans on this one (a total of 2), however a few others brought it to my attention […]
"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 […]
Tally another crew chief on the board as Joe Gibbs Racing announced on Tuesday that Jimmy Makar will step down as crew chief and take over the role as team manager in 2003. Makar held crew chief duties on the #18 for 11 years. On Monday Tommy Baldwin parted ways with Bill Davis Racing, effective […]
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) […]
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 […]
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 […]
