Opinions on Racing
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

"They’re going to have to bulldoze the place," Rustoleumn said. […]

As I watched Monday Night Football this week, Madden and Michaels spoke about how football brought America back to the day to day activities […]
I must confess; I didn’t get to see the race in Richmond. And it’s one of my favorite tracks. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks traveling with Andy Belmont et al in the world of ARCA. It has been an interesting adventure; another time, another column. During the fourteen hour trek home, I listened […]
Ironically, the Craftsman Truck 200 at Richmond underscored the two big stories of the weekend. The first was the last-lap melee that involved ten trucks and injured Bobby Hamilton. Hamilton will miss at least three races and Greg Biffle took over the Petree Racing #55 for the weekend, getting into the field on a provisional. […]
THE STREAK: Jeff Gordon has won two in a row. Will the streak never end? UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES: Well, it looks like Deborah Renshaw has herself a Busch ride for next year, and a few races this year. Why? Is it because she’s a great driver? Is it because she’s done everything on a local level […]
