Another good race is in the can. Quite entertaining and a bit exciting. Maybe it’s the venue, or just equally as fun as that monkey and football thing. K. Petty noted that drivers don’t know much about the rules of Nascar. Maybe Nascar isn’t completely up on them either. I got the impression that Mr. […]

Pennsylvania 6-500
Another good race is in the can. Geez, I love Pocono. Probably not so much if I had to sit in the stands, but at home with the TV it’s always a pleasure – even without the chaos of this particular race. Adam Alexander proved to be the pro that the MRN audience has come […]
A Kurt Response
Another good race is in the can. One of the best parts of the year – out with the Fox, in with somebody else. If you look up BS cautions in the dictionary, you’ll see lap 188 of Saturday’s Nationwide race. Hard as Nascar tried, they couldn’t keep Rowdy from his appointed rounds. The 600 […]
Jimmy Piersall 100
Another good (All-Star) race is in the can. Nice show put on by the Busch Brothers. Regardless of the result, race in race out, Kyle is the one to watch. The IRL’s tweaking of the rules makes Nascar’s mucking with the rules seem amateurish. It took me years to figure out the Indy 500 qualifying […]
(Abuse of) Power Of The Press
From the Associated Press: “Former Nascar racer jailed after high-speed chase”. Technically, that’s a true statement. For all intents and purposes, that’s a shameful (or is it shameless?) statement. I seldom find myself needing to defend Nascar, but this is just a case of lazy and uninformed reporting. It must have been an exceptionally slow […]

Another good race is in the can. Normally JJ’s daydreaming episodes just have an effect on his team and the teams his lapses may involve. This time, however, he deprived us of the only chance of a great finish. Cut it out, Jimmy. (His explanation can be found at scenedaily.com.) Dover provided us with a […]
Pied Piper Of Darlington
Another good race is in the can. Darlington – not Daytona – is the true Nascar. It’s also one of the rare tracks where you’ve got to earn it to win it. You don’t win there by being lucky. ( I’m presuming no one’s going to do the research to prove me wrong.) We could […]
CSA-Calhoun’S Army 400
Another great race is in the can. Quite enjoyable, but what if there were no cautions towards the end? It seemed pretty strung out for most of the race. This is why Nascar‘s best friend is the yellow, (and why it is Jeff Gordon‘s least favorite color). Personally, I don’t care. Every race is it’s […]
BAM!a
Another great race is in the can. Back to the future again for Nascar. Tinkering ad infinitum returns us to the little old spoiler and great racing from yesteryear. All of the numbers (except attendance and probably TV ratings) plus a unique ending and doubleheader, point to the best ever day at Talladega. Are there […]
Elizabeth Barrett Browning 500
Another great race is in the can. How does thee lose a race? Let the 24 count the ways. At least he got a taste of what it’s like to be faster than the 48 – for a while. Shout out to Charley Pride. Nice, simple, compact anthem performance. No hype no frills. Listening to […]
