Phil Allaway Hello, race fans. It’s been an interesting weekend in the world of racing: anything from a nail-biting win taken away in Edmonton due to a questionable blocking call to a dominant Truck Series victory that simply lulled most of its audience to sleep. When all was said and done, Juan Pablo Montoya had lost at …
Hello, race fans. It’s that time of the week again, the one where I go through race broadcasts with a fine-toothed comb. The Sprint Cup Series took this past weekend off.

This past weekend, the Sprint Cup and Nationwide series were both at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H. Meanwhile, the Formula …
