Another good race is in the can. It was a good race to watch – if you’re a die-hard race fan. Such a lack of drama, at least for the first 80% of a race, will chase away viewers faster than a Baby Ruth at a pool party – especially during football season. However, we […]

Reflections On Kansas
Another race is in the can. I’ll leave the Wizard Of Oz references to the professionals. Imagine that event without cautions. A good portion of the crowd in attendance and at home would have found better things to do by lap 134. Fortunately for most everyone involved, Nascar is ever eager to use the magic […]
Reflections On Dover II
Another good race is in the can. Take the 48 out of the equation and you’ve got a pretty darn good race. (Probably not the first time that’s happened). Looking at a camera pan of just the stands, it felt as if we were back at Rockingham. If only we could be, instead of at […]
Reflections On New Hampshire II
Another good race is in the can. Remind me again why they race at this track. I’ll call it I-80 Across Nebraska II. (Corn provided by SpeedTV’s “Raceday”). Or how about “Not a cloud in the sky, (good) chance of meatballs”? (Strangely, the usual suspects seem to have repetitive numbers on the doors). Now I […]
Reflections On Richmond II
Another good race is in the can. Richmond under the lights – rarely gets better than that. ABC, Disney, ESPN, ESPN2 whatever, as usual did a fine job. However, they missed another restart and it wasn’t even close. Fines, please. Was there really debris from the 31’s tire? We went to com’l before he got […]
Reflections On Atlanta II
Another good race is in the can. Kinda like “Sunday Night At The Beach” (in NC) – a lot of “Electric Slidin’ “. That was a good stage for the drivers to show off how really talented they are. We normally can’t see that they’re almost always on the edge. I just noticed that Mr. […]
Reflections On Montreal
That was racing. I’m not sure it was good racing, but it was very entertaining. I always enjoy an exceptionally prolonged Nationwide race. However, I think it’s time Nascar reconsiders racing in the rain. And I don’t mean expanding it to the Cup series. What was some really good racing (and rubbin’), evolved into a […]
Reflections On Bristol II
Another good race is in the can. One Word. It’s “Plastics” in the movies. It’s “Bristol” in racing. I agree with Mike Hembree of Scene Daily (and Bruton). Bristol needs to host more events. How about simultaneous basketball games, or a basketball game and a hockey game at the same time? Is there enough room […]
Reflections On Michigan II
Another good race is in the can. Not that many years ago, I never would have imagined I would say some of the best racing on the circuit is at MIS. But there it is again. And now, apparently the track has employed the hot dog wrapper police. There was a miniscule fraction the number […]
Reflections On The Glen
Another good All-Star exhibition is in the can. We have to stop meeting like this – except for those fortunate enough to have to work on Monday afternoons. Man, that looks like fun. Makes you wanna jump in a car and negotiate the esses that the city of Charlotte calls roads. It’s so uncanny how […]
