Well, the NASCAR season is now complete. Kyle Busch is the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion. Out of the five of us from Frontstretch that worked the race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, I was the only one to pick him to do it. Ultimately, Busch was the only one to not screw up Sunday. Sometimes, …
The season is now complete. You’re probably wondering what I thought of the broadcasts this past weekend from Homestead-Miami Speedway. Truth is, I was in Homestead last weekend covering the event for Frontstretch. I wrote articles, interviewed drivers, tweeted and took over 3,000 photos. Pretty busy weekend, don’t you think? That said, I haven’t been …
We now know the names of all 12 drivers that will be fighting for the championships this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Once everyone gets to Florida, it will be all championship, all the time. TV-wise, will that be any different than what we got in Phoenix on Sunday? Bluegreen Vacations 500k Based on what we …
Ever since Texas Motor Speedway was reconfigured into the current version, I’ve always thought that the track races somewhat similar to the original Texas Motor Speedway of 1997. The first stage of Sunday’s race was very much like 1997. Chaotic as heck. Sunday’s 500-mile race at Texas Motor Speedway was almost like two completely separate …
Martinsville was very interesting. The rules package made for another anticlimactic Cup race with a grand total of three lead changes. That’s the same as what we had back in March. Then again, the weekend will be remembered for two instances. First Data 500 Yes, Martin Truex Jr. dominated Sunday’s First Data 500, leading 464 …
Kansas Speedway was an interesting time. Sunday brought the end of the Round of 12 for Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series teams, while shenanigans broke out in the Xfinity race. How NBC showed these stories really determined how the broadcast would be perceived. Hollywood Casino 400 Sunday brought yet another cutoff race to the Monster …
Dover International Speedway’s October races are some of the most exhausting on the calendar for NASCAR drivers. Cooler-than-normal Sunday temperatures (Oct. 6) at least made the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race slightly less taxing than it could have been. (Next year, with the race scheduled for August on what was the off week between …
Charlotte Motor Speedway’s ROVAL is an interesting proposition. On paper, it doesn’t seem all that difficult. In practice, it’s a bit of a wreckfest. Sunday’s race was rather ridiculous at times. That said, ridiculousness is perfectly fine here. It’s how the ridiculousness is covered that is important. Bank of America ROVAL 400k Looking back, likely …
Richmond Raceway has changed in recent years. The races this past weekend may have been the least competitive pair of Cup and Xfinity races there in years at the front of the field. The Cup race had a grand total of six lead changes in 400 laps. That’s not even the lowest number this decade. …
Schedule-wise, this weekend was a terrible idea. A 7:15 p.m. Sunday night green flag on a non-holiday weekend really doesn’t work well. Especially when the race is in Las Vegas and the only reason it started that late is the fact that it was 101 degrees at the time the green flag dropped. The thing …
