I yawned again. Yes, the Air Titans were doing their job, but @dennyhamlin was right: green flag for the Coke Zero 400 was not flying until after 11 p.m.. I must be getting old. The thought of staying up to watch the race was not as desirable as heading off to my bed. I programmed …
We’ve got tickets to this Sunday’s New Hampshire 301. Of course we do. One would think this would result in the simple packing of a cooler, maybe a backpack with sunscreen and camera. Leave the house somewhere around nine o’clock in the morning to arrive a couple hours before the green flag. It’s a day …
There are glorious days to go to a race. The warm breeze and gentle sunshine light up all the right corners of the track. Children tug at their parents’ hands in an effort to go visit the show car. The t-shirts are just your color with that random driver on the front that never gets …
The young driver sped on by, glorying in the thrill of leading the race. Nothing could stop him. Not one. There were only a few laps left and an open track in front of his machine. Nothing would prevent him from driving into Victory Lane. Then he checked his mirror, and there it was, …
Folks, this is it; the home stretch. In just four weeks we’ll be leaving a plethora of what-if’s and could-be’s behind as the regular Sprint Cup season comes to an end and we embark upon the grand, mysterious, and often problematic Chase to the Cup. On the upside, we have three races left that are …
We didn’t have a Sprint Cup race this past weekend. The void in the midst of a Sunday afternoon can be a difficult thing to fill, but we get on with our day and do a few other chores around the house. For me it was a little bit of home improvement. At the end, …
Well, you can’t please everyone. After all the excitement at Martinsville, you’d think that the Texas shootout might have ended up being a little more predictable. But, no. The NASCAR gods are not quite done messing with the fans this year. They seem bound and determined that a goodly section of the grandstand will be …
What are the odds that Jeff Gordon, in a spectacularly mediocre year, has the chance to win his fifth Sprint Cup? Apparently they are one in four. When NASCAR decided to declare a victory for the Air Titans at about 11:30pm Sunday night, and I was staring at the Final Four of Gordon, Harvick, …
“What will you do when Jeff Gordon retires?” The question has been bandied around this year, mostly asked by those who are not die-hard Gordon fans. What will we do? It’s like there’s supposed to be a national crisis when the man we have cheered for since 1993 will no longer compete on a weekly …
After parking his mangled No. 19 ARRIS Toyota behind the wall Saturday night, Carl Edwards shared a stunning new fact with the viewing public. “Brad’s still not gonna lift and let me in.” <big empty silence> Really? This is news? Perhaps this myopic view of his fellow NASCAR drivers’ intentions explains a bit of why …
