  The time Rev' Jim has to be on line is still very rare, but we can't let this NASCAR season end without a word or two. At the time of this writing, it looks like Jimmie Johnson and the 48 team once again have the Cup Championship sewn up. Unless, of ...

• Live on Type Delay: The O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 KM(Phoenix)

  Pre-race thoughts: Dale Jr is sporting a nice beard. Although it is neatly trimmed, it doesn't seem to fit the Hendrick dress code. I wonder if Rick is going to make Junior hit the floor and give him fifty for appearing on television like that. Not t...

• Live on Type Delay: Kansas

  Before this race started, based on what we saw on Saturday's Nationwide race at Kansas, we thought this had the makings of a California style race. So far, it isn't like that at all. Clint Bowyer, a contender or the championship got black-flagged at ...

• Beware! The Gordon is back!

  Posted on Monday August 18th, 2008 at 15:45 in raves, johnson, jeff gordon, hendrick, silly season

  When Jeff Gordon says he's going to "go for it," he usually means it. The gloves are off. No more Mr. Niceguy.Showing his frustration a little, after the Watkins Glen race, and a lot after Sunday's race at Michigan International Speedway, Gordon indi...

  The opening ceremonies were fitting for Memorial day salute, including "The Lord's Prayer," "Amazing Grace," The Pledge of Allegiance, and Taps, as well as the National Anthem and the flyover. It was inspiring, humbling, and very respectful of those ...

• It finally happened!

  After the lackluster Samsung 500, the semi-short track/semi-speedway Subway Fresh 500 was a much needed blast of excitement in Sprint Cup racing. We knew it was going to take some time for the teams to get a handle on the Sprint Cup car this season, ...

• Warming up in Vegas

  Once again I find myself having to correct an inaccuracy from one of my previous posts. I hate it when that happens. I mentioned that there were three venues in the Cup Series at which Tony "Smoke" Stewart has yet to win. I believe I correctly mentio...

• Plot twists welcome!

  Posted on Saturday November 17th, 2007 at 00:36 in previews, johnson, championship, cts

  We all love a good plot twist. Movies such as The Usual Suspects, The Four Brothers, and The Illusionist keep us enthralled because of their intricate plot twists. And so, we were enthralled with the plot twist involved in Friday night's Ford 200 CT...

• Facing the facts

  Posted on Monday October 29th, 2007 at 00:40 in racing, johnson

  After losing hope that my favorite driver would win the Pep Boys 500 at AMS, I remained hopeful that one of my next favorites, Matt Kenseth might take the checkers. When hope faded for that possibility, I had to accept that a driver whom I have no fe...
