Mike Neff So, the 96 Hours of Texas Motor Speedway are over. There have been a lot of rain delays in the history of the NASCAR Cup Series, but this one was one of epic proportions. While it wasn’t the longest ever, it is apparently the longest in which the competitors didn’t leave the track. Why did …
So, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series schedule is out. We asked for changes, and we got them. Some good, some not so good. NASCAR is telling us that this is the first step; let’s hope that it is not the last. We have more road courses, which is one of the things that was asked …
Twenty-six races in the NASCAR Cup Series regular season. A driver tries all he can during the first 25 but isn’t able to grab a victory. The last race of the regular season provides one last chance for a driver to use all of his skills to get into the tournament and have a shot …
Brad Keselowski re-signed with Team Penske this week in the NASCAR Cup Series for 2021, which was the first big domino to fall in silly season. The second was Bob Leavine selling his race team.

It seems like yesterday, or 10 years ago, but it was the third weekend in March. We had four good races to start the NASCAR Cup Series season and were headed to Atlanta Motor Speedway where we knew it would be another good show. Then Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus, the NBA shut …
This may come as a shock to some, although not as much after Monday night, but racing is dangerous. Strapping into a conglomeration of metal and moving parts that hurtles down the track at speeds around 200 mph can sometimes lead to catastrophic failures. When those failures happen, the potential for injury is quite significant. …
“We’re getting the band back together!” That statement has long evoked memories of getting a group back together who had past success. For 2019, that was the call for the No. 3 NASCAR Cup Series team of Austin Dillon. While he’d won the Daytona 500 in 2018, that was his only win and one of …
2019 was the first year the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series utilized the spec engine package. It was a direct challenge to one of racing’s modern ideologies: “How fast can I go?
