The Jimmie Johnson Issue
As we near the end of the season, and what some are already predicting could be a fourth straight championship for Jimmie Johnson, it seems the negative feelings toward driver 48 are growing. Some have even hinted that Johnson’s dominance is ...
Kudos To Joey Logano
I’ve taken a little grief from the readers regarding my post from last week about Joey Logano needing a short memory after wrecking big at Dover. Some of you thought I was reading too much into his post wreck comments (to be honest, Journo t...
The Chase Demands Perfection
With the Chase for the Sprint Cup in full swing headed to Dover, teams must bring their “A” game to the track every weekend to have a chance at the championship. The smallest mistake by a mechanic, or a slight misstep by a pit crew coul...
Mounting Frustration Evident At RCR
One of the bigger story lines of the 2009 season has been the downfall of Richard Childress Racing. After putting all three teams into the Chase in 2008, only Clint Bowyer appears to have a shot at a Chase berth for 2009. With only a few races le...

Kurt Busch And His Impending Free Agency
I think it’s interesting that in the days following Kurt Busch’s dominating win at Atlanta, nobody is talking about how this guy is at the end of his contract. Following the 2009 season, Kurt Busch will be a free agent. And wouldnR...
Allgaier Benefiting From Verizon’s Cup Series Ban
When Alltel was acquired last year by Verizon Wireless, most of us wondered how it would affect Alltel’s deal with Penske Racing. Because of past experience (Cingular/AT&T) it was clear that Sprint would not allow a Verizon sponsored car...
Let’s Not Forget Logano is Rookie
I’m not normally one for writing stuff about the same, tired, worn out topics that every other motorsports writer seems to focus on. I mean, when I get on Jayski’s story links page now, I do a quick scan and move on. Where is the crea...
California Doesn’t Deserve A Cup Date
Since we are sort of in a “talking about tracks” mood (see Kentucky, Really?), I figured I’d continue the conversation with a little bit on the Auto Club Speedway. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone who actually spends mon...
