What Do Two 19-Year-Olds, Tony Stewart, Hendrick and ‘Crash Gate’ Have In Common?

Jimmie Johnson Wins the Championship…Oh Wait the Season Isn’t Over
Long before Juan Montoya was perfecting points racing, Jimmie Johnson was an expert at it. That expertise has won him the last three championships and if you surfed around the internet yesterday, you might assume he’d won his fourth. I promise ...
Down On NASCAR? Find The NASCAR Media Group
It’s been a couple of days since I’ve been called a NASCAR homer, and honestly I’m starting to think some of you are changing your mind, so I figure let’s end that for a couple of weeks. Let me back up for second though. I was...
During Silly Season You’ve Got To Strike While The Iron’s Hot
In this sport timing is everything, on track and off. Do you take tires? Do you stretch fuel? Who was first off pit road? And who was smart enough to sign with a team while the getting was good? As we get to the beginning of the end of the 2009 seaso...
With Brad K., Hendrick Comes Out Smelling Like a Rose
This past weekend it was all but confirmed that Brad Keselowski would make his way to Penske Racing next season most likely replacing the struggling David Stremme. This came after a season of speculation about Keselowski’s future with JR Motors...
I’ve Got A Theory About The Strange Situation at Red Bull
With all that has happened this year, one storyline that has seemingly been lost in the shuffle a bit is the situation at Team Red Bull. Another “we’re getting closer” story about Red Bull’s plans for 2010 and beyond appeare...

Dale Jr. Isn’t Just Another Pretty Face
While I was involved in about 20 separate conversations today on Twitter, all about Danica Patrick and all at the same time, this post idea came to me. The topic of Danica moving to NASCAR has picked up speed over the last few weeks, and everyone i...
Brad Keselowski and Why Winning At Talladega May Not Be A Good Thing
Let me preface what I am about to write by saying I think Brad Keselowski has a lot of talent and potential. Without a doubt he is positioned to be the “future” of the sport. With Rick Hendrick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. behind him he also ha...
I Told You Tony Stewart Wouldn’t Suck As An Owner
Well I did. Don’t believe me? Click here for a post I wrote last July about Stewart becoming half owner of then Haas CNC Racing. At the time, there was a lot of talk that Tony Stewart may never win another race, and that he may be ruining h...
Uh Brad K., You Can Quit Playing Around Now
As I write this post, the #88 Jr. Motorsports Nationwide Series team is scrambling to get their backup car ready for Saturday’s race at Texas. Following a promising 12th place run at Bristol two weeks ago, Brad Keselowski promptly went out to...
On The Bubble
This weekend’s race at Bristol is the last chance for Cup Series teams to make their way into the top-35 in owner’s points before the points are reset. I thought it might be interesting to take a look at who may not be locked in. The list...
The Incredible Revolving Drivers
You know the ones I’m talking about. The guys who, despite a lack of any spectacular on track performance, continue to find quality rides. More specifically I am talking about the Reed Sorensons and Casey Mears of the world. Casey Mears joine...
