A Truck Series Rebound? And Rick Ren Leaving KHI?
This year has been a particularly brutal one for car counts in the Camping World Truck Series. While there usually is a full field, many teams choose to start and park. Looking at 2010 though things are looking up for the truck series. Richard Childr...

Is Running The Nationwide Series Full Time Hurting Cup Drivers?
One of the many problems facing NASCAR going forward is what to do with the Nationwide Series. In recent years it has become a Saturday playground for Cup drivers, and because of this, the series’ developmental mentality and identity have go...

Mother Nature nearly drowned NASCAR at Martinsville, but the sun came out Sunday and Monday, and we saw some great racing.  Now, we’ve given Monday and Tuesday a Jimmie Johnson/Kevin Harvick-style bump and run pass, and we make it to Wedne...
