Another race is in the can. ( Title-wise I could have gone with Jerry Jeff, but I suspect The Dirt Band would be more recognizable. ) At some tracks single file racing is acceptable. Bristol should be another, but Nascar ( or track owners ) has decided that Darlington should stand alone in this category […]

To Aaron’s Is Human 499+
Another race is in the can. I have for a very long time believed there are three sides to every story: yours, mine and the truth. As it turns out, after listening to the post ” mini-big one ” interviews, there is a fourth side. The Martin Truex, Jr. side. As long as we’re on […]
Rip Van Winkle 400
Another good race is in the can. As Mike LaFontaine said in ” A Mighty Wind “, “wha’ happened?”. A perfectly fine race was interrupted by … I don’t know what. It started with some farcical caution with the 31 and went downhill from there. Not that I’m averse to the outcome, but it seems […]
Getaway Day 400
Another race is in the can. I bet Nascar is sure glad to be headed back to its home territory for the next month and a half or so. On the surface, the last 2 races didn’t look much different, but Kansas seemed to have more intrigue. Obviously, as the race unfolded, the result was […]
Event At Texas 500
Another race is in the can. Is Bruton going to have to tear up this track too? And then there was the return to The Rock. Not that the racing at the front of the field there was any better, but at least the track and the rest of the racing had character. The more […]
How To Reunamann’s Day 500
Another good race is in the can. Welcome back Barney Hall of MRN. Those of us who listen to the races on the radio – and web – have missed your eloquent presentations. The ending notwithstanding, the 2% of the race with 20% still remaining (the battle between the 11 and the 48 ) was […]
Albert Hammond Lied 400
Another ( partial ) race is in the can. I suppose Mr. Harvick is back on the “horseshoe” rant re the 48. The 54 having to go to the back for Saturday’s race begs the question how is it ( and not that rare ) that a driver misses mandatory meetings or introductions? Unless they’re […]
Cars Gaughan Wild 500
Another race is in the can. It’s curious how drivers respond differently to the same incident. How is it that Kyle Busch slams the hood of his car and disappears for the day and Carl Edwards smiles and jokes while they’re both veritably done for the day through no fault of their own? I guess […]
Lowe’s Vegas 400
Another race is in the can. Where are the meadows? I’ve seen all the Vegas races on TV. I’ve been to the city many more times than that. I’ve watched “Vega$”, “Las Vegas” and “Melvin And Howard”. The only “meadows” I’ve seen were man-made, i.e. Howard Hughes’ foothill home and the golf courses. So what […]
Denny’s Fresh Fit 500
Another race is in the can. It’s good to be back to a track where the traditional elements of racing come in to play. Driver. Crew. Communication ( old or new style ). And management: of tires, track conditions, adjustments. RE the 48: 4th place isn’t exactly ” cheater’s proof “, but close. Since that’s […]
