Another great race is in the can. What have we learned? Besides Carl’s favorite Subway sandwich, we were reminded of the old Nascar adages: To finish first, you must first finish and get yourself in position to win. Mix in a little luck, and you’ve got yourself in victory lane. Now to the Busch League. […]

Ridgeway Ruse
Another great race is in the can. Now that’s racin’. So who’s got the horseshoe now? Doesn’t matter. The 11 earned the win. Home Cookin’ remains the best. Nascar‘s seemingly arbitrary cautions even befuddled DW. A continuing saga with no end in sight. Anyway, the best car won with or without Nascar’s meddling. 3.27.88: @ […]
Eastbound And Up
Another good race is in the can. It’s catch-up time. A week off, but the song remains the same. It’s still tough for the best car to beat the best team. Some things never change – especially Nascar’s blatant (and arbitrary) use of the yellow. Good news/bad news: on Saturday, Morgan Shepherd was penalized for […]
The 3 Point Play
So Nascar threw the “pamphlet” at Carl. I still don’t want to blame the incident on “have at it”, but in a roundabout way, Nascar has succumbed to the dictum as has the mainstream media. The secret-double-wrist-slapping-probation my be the result of some guilt on Nascar’s part for 1: not having nipped this feud in […]
“Roll” Models
Another great race is in the can. Apparently not all the new fathers/drivers are telling the truth when they say they have a new perspective on life and priorities. Given all the circumstances, the 99’s action was the epitome of selfishness. I believe it’s wrong to blame Robin Pemberton’s “have at it” statement. It in […]
Caution By Computer
Another good race is in the can. Nascar appears to be developing a programmable caution system. It’s obviously in the early stages. This had to be the first time their was a caution due to an inadvertent caution. Like the 24 of years ago, the more yellows the better for the 48. Unfortunately it works […]
Birthday 28
It’s hard to say “happy” birthday, but Davey Allison would have been 49 today and vying for, I’m sure, another championship.
THE Junior Miller?
On 2-27-77 at Richmond, a driver named Junior Miller finished 17th. In all, he competed in 27 races between ’76 and ’81. I can’t find definitive proof that he’s the same Junior Miller from “Madhouse”, although their ages and geographical data are consistent with each other. Anyone know for sure? There’s a good article at […]
No Global Warming 500
Another good race is in the can. I guess Albert Hammond was wrong. I presume all the Olympic references to the 29’s pit stop have been done by now, so I’ll move on. You can win by being good. You can win by being lucky. But if you’re good and you’re lucky, you’re not likely […]
TW3
That was the week that was. 7 really good to really great races at Daytona Beach ( or Danica Beach as Tom Sorensen of The Charlotte Observer calls it). ARCA is what it is and usually takes its cues from Nascar in regard to rules and safety. However, Nascar could take a look at ARCA’s […]
