Once upon a time I thought wrestling and Roller Derby were real. I believed that longer than I believed the Santa Claus and Easter Bunny bits. I’m so naive, it’s taken decades to understand that most sports are hardly more legitimate than the aforementioned. There’s rarely a play that goes by in 3 of the […]

Topsy-Turvy Season
…accept for who’s leading the points. Baseball in March and March Madness in April. Qualifying preempted by an auto auction. (Isn’t it called SPEED TV and not sitting parked tv? It’ll probably only get worse when Fox takes over.) Pit Crew Competition cancelled due to lack of interest. Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart have appointed […]
Sprint Limited
Another Clash is in the can. Hopefully the kind of racing we saw Saturday night will turn out to be an anomaly, or at least limited to restrictor plate tracks. However, it appears Mr. Stewart may try to take it upon himself to shake things up. A Charlotte Observer editor wrote the tease for a […]
5 And 2100
Another half a Chase is in the can. One (maybe just me) would think there would have been a lot to say about each of the Chase races. But I had little of note to write about, so I didn’t. I know what you’re saying: ” Hey Vicar, how is that different from all your […]
Not Just Another Bristol
(not just) Another race is in the can. Once again we witness Bruton sparing no expense to respond and put on a great show in spite of “the economy” or declining interest. The newest of “new Bristols” led to what I proffer as maybe the greatest race of all. In a recent post, I cited […]
Hope Springs Infernal 400 Plus Jim and Monica 355
Another couple of races are in the can. Hey Juan Pablo, it’s your other right front! Hey Danica, the shoe is on the other foot. Since I had MRN on during the Michigan race, I missed what must have been a riveting narrative from the ESPN crew while the 14 – off the pace and […]
Proper Race Title 400
Another race is in the can. The race title, as it always is at Pocono, is a proper one but could be more so if there was a “500” in there. I love Barney Hall of MRN, but it seems he has caught – and can’t shake – the ” Kenseths ” bug that had […]
Hank Ballard 400
Another race is in the can. Now we know why they call it “Naptown”. Even if you take the 48 out of the equation, you get the same race. Have we ever seen more than one car in even a not-so-close-up shot at the finish line at Indy? PS. There’s a perfectly good racetrack next […]
301,318.458 Race
Another race is in the can. So THAT explains why Bruton wants frequent regularly scheduled cautions. Of course, another option is to have Nascar‘s version of golf course designers. ( As long as it’s not the one who designed the greens at Augusta. ) I wish to retract something I said last week. I used […]
Coke Zero Passing 400
Another couple of races are in the can. I skipped posting last week since I had little to say. I was so whelmed by what transpired at the ” Congressional ” golf tournament on June 30 I could hardly remember the race. ( Plus my notepad was pretty sparse. ) I do recall it was […]
