Another what was going to be a great race is in the can. I suppose if you were in attendance you might not see it that way. One of my favorite races was the inaugural Busch race at Gateway. Of course, I was a spectator from my easy chair at home. The best car doesn’t […]

Reflections On The All-Star Race
Another All-Star Event is in the can. This was how bad the first segment was, and how much we were hoping for the rubber band to contract: the driver who was practically booed out of the building during pre-race ceremonies, was wildly cheered when he made a pass for the lead. The second loudest jeers […]
Reflections On Darlington
Now that’s real racing at a real track and a proper race title. Kudos to the entire Nascar family – including the paint crew – for a near perfect event. ( I say “near” because some say you can’t be perfect, not because I can cite a good reason why it wasn’t). That moon probably […]
Reflections On Richmond
Thanks, Mr. Poole for your endeavors. This was your kind of race: talent, finesse, controlled aggression, and nobody upside down. Another great race is in the can. Nice to be back in the former Capital. A note to Fox: a “green/yellow start” is not for a “variety of reasons” as you would have us believe. […]
Thank You, Mr. Poole
A voice of reason and desire to safeguard the integrity of a sport he loved will be greatly missed. Thanks, David, for your efforts.
Reflections On Talladega
Another great race is in the can. OK. It’s not really racin’, but it is Talladega. It don’t hardly get much better than that. Well, it might could if Nascar’s most important employee (the person whose job it is to seek cautions where none exist) was put on hiatus. Dega even makes Mike Joy step […]
Reflections On Phoenix
Another good race is in the can. I’m sure the casual viewer might disagree with that. But it’s races such as this these that present a good opportunity to enjoy the nuances of the sport (when the camera work cooperates). You get time to pay more attention to the subtleties of racing. Other than that, […]
Reflections on Texas
Another good race is in the can. Surprise: 24 goes the right way on adjustments early in a race. Not much surprise: 77 goes around. Near big surprise: Almost just 1 unnecessary caution called by Nascar. Thought I was going to be able to not mention the 48, but you’ve got to be kidding. By […]
Reflections On Martinsville
Another great race is in the can. Chad is still a genius. J.J. rare restart mental lapse overcome by talent. Nothing against the current broadcast team (well, almost nothing), but don’t you miss Bob Jenkins and BP? Ah! Panhard bar. There’s Benny. Thanks, Steve Byrnes. Had to go outside for a while and put on […]
