Another great race and year are in the can. I didn’t get to see Babe Ruth play, but witnessing the 48 dynasty must be a similar experience. They’ll be well above average for the unforeseeable future, but I just can’t picture a 6th in a row. Not only are other contenders gaining on them, it […]

A Wigwam And A Tepee
Too tense! Another great race is in the can. Well, I’ve got a cryptic title and not much else. Too bad, considering all that went on and the ramifications of the event. Maybe I’m still in shock that the next race is no longer anticlimactic. I sure didn’t feel that way when there were 20 […]
Crews On In – Crews On Out
♪ Crazy ♪ Another great race is in the can. The 24/48 crew swap may not be the right thing to do regardless if it proves to be productive. Maybe it just feels wrong because, to my knowledge, it’s never been done before. Whatever one believes, the cry “Why break up a 4 time championship […]
Curses! The Moody Blues 500
“Go Now.” (Chad Knauss) Another intense race is in the can. If Regan Smith had any doubts he’s a race winner before, he surely has none after the Truck race. This we know: the 18 passed below the yellow line(s); he was not forced below the line. Nascar‘s interpretation seems to be the 18 was […]
Not Your Grandfather’s Martinsville
Actually, it was probably a lot like your grandfather’s Martinsville – everyone with large black zeroes on both sides of their car. I can picture Weatherly, Thomas, Petty, Buck, the Flocks and the 22 other drivers (including Glen Wood and Gwyn Staley) battling for 200 laps in the first paved race at this track. (10.16.55). […]
Hall And Notes
Another Hall Of Fame class is in the can. This vote has sparked a lot more controversy than last year’s. The debate could – and probably will – go on for quite some time. Darrell’s reactions – although quite subdued by his standards – might give some clue as to why he’ll wait another year. […]
OO Buck Shot
Another good race is in the can. For a very short time, I was willing to give the 00 the benefit of the doubt. It didn’t take long to realize I was mistaken and pretty much the only one with that opinion. Correction – me and Nascar. Unfortunately, Nascar held on to their opinion for […]
Dover Downs And Ups
Another good race is in the can. This Chase is going to be different. Don’t ask me why. I just feel it. It’s “The Chase”. Lots of drama. With 11 laps to go, ESPN goes to com’l for the next 6 laps. That’s more unacceptable than missing restarts (which they’ve done a great job of […]
Boy Oh Bowyer!
Another race is in the can. No one knows more than Clint that winning isn’t everything. It’s nothing now. (Except for his share of $248,250.) NHMS and too many other tracks should be left to running the Trucks. For whatever the reasons, they are consistently able to provide great racing throughout an event no matter […]
