Another great race is in the can. It’s that time of year for my 6 favorite words in racing: (Fox) ” Our final broadcast of the season”. Whew! Racing at Dover is intense – kinda like Talladega with options. Sidebar: If the broadcast crew wants to know if Kyle’s tire was going down in Saturday’s […]

Good reads in Nascar Scene
Kenny Bruce’s column in the 5-28-09 issue is spot on. While you’re at it, Steve Waid has a nice retro look at Kyle Petty’s last victory. What was not part of the column was the role Providence played – at least to some – in that race. Barry’s young children had been killed in an […]
