TweetNASCAR Sprint All-Star Race is Night Racing at its Best
Last week’s NASCAR race at Darlington Raceway had an exciting finish but lacked the number of wrecks and caution flags that previous races there have had. Some say it is because the drivers are being too conservative, too careful in order to get and keep a maximum amount of championship points. We won’t have that [...]
TweetThere is Something Different about NASCAR This Year
For some reason the NASCAR season so far has had lots of green flag racing, lots of green flag pit stops. It has been missing lots of wrecks, carnage and yellow flags. For some, the type of racing we are seeing is boring and uneventful. This would appear to be a problem but is it? [...]
TweetJeff Gordon Needs to Get Back to His Winning Ways at Darlington Raceway
To say that Jeff Gordon is not having the year he intended in NASCAR Sprint Cup racing is a major understatement. With only two finishes in the top ten so far this year and six finishes worse than 20th. He is 23rd in points and unless Jeff Gordon wins a bunch of races he will [...]
TweetDarlington Raceway Made Stock Car Racing A Modern Sport
NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series history began in Charlotte, N.C. on June 19, 1949 with Jim Roper’s victory in a 150-mile race over the 3/4-mile dirt Charlotte Speedway.

Ricky Bobby, who was the star driver of Talladega Nights (played by Will Ferrell), drove the race at Talladega in a “Me” car. Sunday at the Aaron’s 499, Busch will don a similar car. [...]
TweetIt is Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Time to Shine at Talladega
Last week we were at the 3/4 mile Richmond International Raceway where there was some close racing and controversy. Although Dale Earnhardt Jr. did not win the race, he did finish second and moved to second in the Sprint Cup Standings within five points of the leader. This week we move on to bigger and hopefully much [...]
TweetHow Can You Use NASCAR Driver Ratings to Pick Your Winner?
If you follow NASCAR, read about NASCR, watch video about NASCAR at some point in time someone will talk about this drivers track rating or that drivers track rating and who might be better. Sounds like some great piece of information, knowing in advance how a driver performs on any one particular track relative to [...]
TweetKyle Busch has to Start Making it Happen at Richmond
Kyle Busch has had a disappointing NASCAR season to date and is 13th in points. If Kyle Busch remains 13th and doesn’t get any race wins he will not be in the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup. He has to get a win or two like his teammate Denny Hamlin. The Joe Gibbs drivers [...]
TweetDale Earnhardt Jr. Needs to Start Winning Soon
Last week at Kansas Speedway Denny Hamlin won the race and is now tied with Dale Earnhardt Jr. for career NASCAR Sprint Cup race wins. This and the constant reminder every week that Dale Earnhardt Jr. has not won a race in a long time begs the question, will Dale Earnhardt Jr. win again and live up [...]
