I bet “Pull-A-Part” used auto parts didn’t have what happened to the 39 (Nationwide) in mind when it sponsored him. On second thought, maybe they did. Losing an entire wheel gave them a lot of screen time they otherwise wouldn’t have received. (No. I don’t really believe it was premeditated.) So there’s an entire grille […]

How Far We Have Regressed
There was a time, not that long ago (15 years or so), in Charlotte – the world center of stock car racing – not only were all 3 series races on the radio, but so was qualifying. Today you’re lucky if you can find a Cup race on the radio. But here’s a sure sign […]
Stone’s Throw 400 Plus
Another FOX season is in the can. Best time of the year. I’m gonna really miss the ” How do you KFC?” pop-ups. At least I hope I do. We’re also gonna be without the best Monday morning QB in racing. And his brother. Well, maybe . One of them seems to be everywhere all […]
Trifecta
Another greatest day in racing is in the can. If you’re not a total racing nut and have to spend 12 plus hours in front of the TV like many of us, here’s some tips to enjoy the experience over Memorial Day weekend: Saturday night watch “Rush” and “Senna”. Now you’re psyched. Get up early […]
Southern Night 500
Another race is in the can. I’ve consistently contended that Goodyear holds all the cards in determining whether a race is compelling or just another race. But I never thought they would resort to fire breathing tires to achieve their goal. It must be in honor of the Godzilla anniversary movie coming out. I have […]
Brake Time Is Over
Another quarter of a season ( well, almost ) is in the can. So what have we learned? The Daytona 500 became “The Michael Waltrip All The Time 500”. I really thought, after the prerace show and after his 144 laps we could move on. But alas, no. What happens in Vegas should definitely stay […]
First Signs of Spring
Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale and Bob Varsha – if you had a third tier cable/sat. package and could keep up with the channel variations. Thanks, FOX. (Did anyone else get a sense of shenanigans at this auction?) 24 Hours of Daytona and Bob Varsha. Nascar grasping at straws to try to keep up with the NFL. (Good […]
Now What To Do On Sunday?
Another memorable season is in the can. If Nascar has zero tolerance for teams manipulating a race, shouldn’t we expect the same out of Nascar? Probably not. And if they need positive proof of manipulation, we may never again see them come down with the hammer ( or was it a mallet ? ). All […]
Don’t Be OutFOXed. Take A NAPa..
..instead of a 5-Hour Energy. I almost never get my auto supplies from NAPA. Now, they will be my first option. No surprise FOX and Innovation Ventures turn a blind eye. By Gary Erdakos
Teimwork
This will be an easy day to remember. A 13th car is added to this “Chase”. It was announced on Friday the 13th, 2013. I’ll get to that later. At least in the last 15-20 years, it seems every driver in every interview has mentioned the team and teamwork and the guys back at the […]
