Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale and Bob Varsha – if you had a third tier cable/sat. package and could keep up with the channel variations. Thanks, FOX. (Did anyone else get a sense of shenanigans at this auction?) 24 Hours of Daytona and Bob Varsha. Nascar grasping at straws to try to keep up with the NFL. (Good […]

Now What To Do On Sunday?
Another memorable season is in the can. If Nascar has zero tolerance for teams manipulating a race, shouldn’t we expect the same out of Nascar? Probably not. And if they need positive proof of manipulation, we may never again see them come down with the hammer ( or was it a mallet ? ). All […]
Don’t Be OutFOXed. Take A NAPa..
..instead of a 5-Hour Energy. I almost never get my auto supplies from NAPA. Now, they will be my first option. No surprise FOX and Innovation Ventures turn a blind eye. By Gary Erdakos

This will be an easy day to remember. A 13th car is added to this “Chase”. It was announced on Friday the 13th, 2013. I’ll get to that later. At least in the last 15-20 years, it seems every driver in every interview has mentioned the team and teamwork and the guys back at the […]
Oh No He Di-int!
Once upon a time I thought wrestling and Roller Derby were real. I believed that longer than I believed the Santa Claus and Easter Bunny bits. I’m so naive, it’s taken decades to understand that most sports are hardly more legitimate than the aforementioned. There’s rarely a play that goes by in 3 of the […]
Topsy-Turvy Season
…accept for who’s leading the points. Baseball in March and March Madness in April. Qualifying preempted by an auto auction. (Isn’t it called SPEED TV and not sitting parked tv? It’ll probably only get worse when Fox takes over.) Pit Crew Competition cancelled due to lack of interest. Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart have appointed […]
Sprint Limited
Another Clash is in the can. Hopefully the kind of racing we saw Saturday night will turn out to be an anomaly, or at least limited to restrictor plate tracks. However, it appears Mr. Stewart may try to take it upon himself to shake things up. A Charlotte Observer editor wrote the tease for a […]
5 And 2100
Another half a Chase is in the can. One (maybe just me) would think there would have been a lot to say about each of the Chase races. But I had little of note to write about, so I didn’t. I know what you’re saying: ” Hey Vicar, how is that different from all your […]
Not Just Another Bristol
(not just) Another race is in the can. Once again we witness Bruton sparing no expense to respond and put on a great show in spite of “the economy” or declining interest. The newest of “new Bristols” led to what I proffer as maybe the greatest race of all. In a recent post, I cited […]
Hope Springs Infernal 400 Plus Jim and Monica 355
Another couple of races are in the can. Hey Juan Pablo, it’s your other right front! Hey Danica, the shoe is on the other foot. Since I had MRN on during the Michigan race, I missed what must have been a riveting narrative from the ESPN crew while the 14 – off the pace and […]
