Another ( partial ) race is in the can. I suppose Mr. Harvick is back on the “horseshoe” rant re the 48. The 54 having to go to the back for Saturday’s race begs the question how is it ( and not that rare ) that a driver misses mandatory meetings or introductions? Unless they’re […]

Cars Gaughan Wild 500
Another race is in the can. It’s curious how drivers respond differently to the same incident. How is it that Kyle Busch slams the hood of his car and disappears for the day and Carl Edwards smiles and jokes while they’re both veritably done for the day through no fault of their own? I guess […]
Lowe’s Vegas 400
Another race is in the can. Where are the meadows? I’ve seen all the Vegas races on TV. I’ve been to the city many more times than that. I’ve watched “Vega$”, “Las Vegas” and “Melvin And Howard”. The only “meadows” I’ve seen were man-made, i.e. Howard Hughes’ foothill home and the golf courses. So what […]
Denny’s Fresh Fit 500

And management: of tires, track conditions, adjustments. RE the 48: 4th place isn’t exactly ” cheater’s proof “, but close. Since that’s […]

But I’ve got to give them extremely high marks for this speedweeks. They did everything they could to touch all the bases and satisfy everyone’s needs. They battled indomitable foes best […]
While We Were Out…
Another Super Bowl ( 46 minus 2 ) is in the can. Semi-chronological preseason observations: Whatever our (my) current opinion of Ol’ DW is, his acceptance speech at the Nascar Hall of Fame induction ceremony was heartfelt and touching. If the so-far-one-new-2013-car is any indication of what racing is going to look like, I’m in! […]
