Another race is in the can. The race title, as it always is at Pocono, is a proper one but could be more so if there was a “500” in there. I love Barney Hall of MRN, but it seems he has caught – and can’t shake – the ” Kenseths ” bug that had […]

Hank Ballard 400
Another race is in the can. Now we know why they call it “Naptown”. Even if you take the 48 out of the equation, you get the same race. Have we ever seen more than one car in even a not-so-close-up shot at the finish line at Indy? PS. There’s a perfectly good racetrack next […]
301,318.458 Race
Another race is in the can. So THAT explains why Bruton wants frequent regularly scheduled cautions. Of course, another option is to have Nascar‘s version of golf course designers. ( As long as it’s not the one who designed the greens at Augusta. ) I wish to retract something I said last week. I used […]
Coke Zero Passing 400
Another couple of races are in the can. I skipped posting last week since I had little to say. I was so whelmed by what transpired at the ” Congressional ” golf tournament on June 30 I could hardly remember the race. ( Plus my notepad was pretty sparse. ) I do recall it was […]
Twisty 352.21
Another decent race is in the can. Now that we’ve got a road course weekend out of our system, we can get back to stock car racing. I don’t mean to sound harsh. Actually, I enjoy the change of pace and the scenery. But the debate among the talking heads about having one of these […]
Blistering Loans 400
Another good race is in the can. I never thought I’d live to see another 200 plus mph qualifying lap, mainly because I figured Nascar would not allow it. Truth be told, I wasn’t following Nascar in the pre restrictor plate days ( except in the ” Wide World Of Sports ” era ), so […]
# Miss Calibration 500 Minus 100
Another good race is in the can. Still waiting for the last 40 laps… Due to circumstances beyond my control I was not able to watch the live broadcast. I did, however, listen by chasing MRN through the midwest. It sounded like a terrific event. I wondered at the time if it would also look […]
Express Male 400
Another race is in the can. It’s hard to believe there could have been a car faster than the 48, but it sure seemed the 24 was. But then concrete can turn into clay. Speaking of imagining: imagine Nascar without the Busches. How drab that would be. Kyle appears to have succumbed to the Nascar-imposed […]
World 1261.867
Another ” Greatest Day In Racing ” is in the can. If that were true, one would think I’d have a lot more to say. These three events, although run on three iconic and varied courses with three very different vehicle types, do share at least one thing: the pre-race show is usually more entertaining […]
Game The System 90
Another All-Star Tweak is in the can. Cops and robbers continues. One day Nascar will set the table and just leave it alone for a while. It seems there was a time some years ago that the format was stable for at least a few years. Maybe it’s time to try that again. After a […]
