Another Hall Of Fame class is in the can. This vote has sparked a lot more controversy than last year’s. The debate could – and probably will – go on for quite some time. Darrell’s reactions – although quite subdued by his standards – might give some clue as to why he’ll wait another year. […]

OO Buck Shot
Another good race is in the can. For a very short time, I was willing to give the 00 the benefit of the doubt. It didn’t take long to realize I was mistaken and pretty much the only one with that opinion. Correction – me and Nascar. Unfortunately, Nascar held on to their opinion for […]
Dover Downs And Ups
Another good race is in the can. This Chase is going to be different. Don’t ask me why. I just feel it. It’s “The Chase”. Lots of drama. With 11 laps to go, ESPN goes to com’l for the next 6 laps. That’s more unacceptable than missing restarts (which they’ve done a great job of […]
Boy Oh Bowyer!
Another race is in the can. No one knows more than Clint that winning isn’t everything. It’s nothing now. (Except for his share of $248,250.) NHMS and too many other tracks should be left to running the Trucks. For whatever the reasons, they are consistently able to provide great racing throughout an event no matter […]
A True Confederate?
Another couple good races are in the can. A demoralizing defeat in Atlanta. An honorable return to his home in (i.e. near) Richmond. But can Mr. Hamlin, unlike his CSA ancestors, win the war? I don’t know why I’ve found it so difficult to come up with material for this article. We’ve just had two […]
Bristling!
Another great race is in the can. Before we go on – was that the shortest concrete Bristol race ever? (2:41:24). Let us know. Next, let’s have some truth in advertising. Bristol is many or all things racing, but it is .033 miles from being the “world’s fastest half mile”. For sure it’s the fastest […]
Just The Carfax, Ma’am
Another good race is in the can. Michigan has been an enigmatic track for me. It’s been a love-hate-curious venue for me over these many years. My early opinion may have been influenced by the fact that I saw my first Cup race there. Like that first kiss that holds a special place in your […]
Really Long Race Title At The Glen
Another good race is in the can. Congratulations to the road course aces on their road course wins. Well, it’s apparent Nascar has the ability to manage a race well. Hopefully they can find a way to better apply that skill to ovals. I’ve always had trouble understanding the business side of Nascar, so I’m […]
Secretariat 500
Another good race is in the can. Pocono is one of the few places it doesn’t seem so nettling when they get strung out. You know there are going to be many interesting moments – even if the end looks like that famous photo by Bob Coglianese of the 1973 Belmont Stakes. It appeared the […]
