Another good race is in the can. Still waiting for the last 40 laps… Due to circumstances beyond my control I was not able to watch the live broadcast. I did, however, listen by chasing MRN through the midwest. It sounded like a terrific event. I wondered at the time if it would also look […]

Express Male 400
Another race is in the can. It’s hard to believe there could have been a car faster than the 48, but it sure seemed the 24 was. But then concrete can turn into clay. Speaking of imagining: imagine Nascar without the Busches. How drab that would be. Kyle appears to have succumbed to the Nascar-imposed […]
World 1261.867
Another ” Greatest Day In Racing ” is in the can. If that were true, one would think I’d have a lot more to say. These three events, although run on three iconic and varied courses with three very different vehicle types, do share at least one thing: the pre-race show is usually more entertaining […]
Game The System 90
Another All-Star Tweak is in the can. Cops and robbers continues. One day Nascar will set the table and just leave it alone for a while. It seems there was a time some years ago that the format was stable for at least a few years. Maybe it’s time to try that again. After a […]
Nitty Gritty 500
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 […]
