This week, here’s a sneak peek at what a select few were thinking following the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Joey Logano Start: 23rd; Finish: 38th Summary: In Sunday’s FOX “rookie profile,” Logano alluded to the fact he thought it was a crazy idea to make a half-mile track like Bristol – a place so small, yet so quick. Logano actually had a decent day going for him at Thunder Valley at one point, but …
Kyle Busch made it three wins in a row for the Vegas brothers, leading 378 of 503 laps at Bristol this weekend en route to his second win of the season.
Throughout Sunday’s telecast, we heard how the Atlanta Motor Speedway was racing just like its neighbor about 300 miles to the north, Darlington Raceway.
The last time I wrote in before the Daytona 500, I mentioned how I believed that I had met my “wreck quota” after getting swept up in about three different accidents during Speedweeks. Well, so much for that theory. The season opener definitely did not go the way we had hoped, which was frustrating, but …

The Sam’s Town 300 in Las Vegas opened with four wrecks in the first 28 laps, becoming a demolition derby that featured 12 cautions and two red flags while ending with only …
The Auto Club 500 at Fontana gave us a full 500 miles of racing, but it was a race that felt a whole lot longer. After a true marathon out west, here is how the rookie class of 2009 fared. Joey Logano Start: 34th; Finish: 26th Summary: After an absolutely overwhelming Speedweeks and finishing dead …
NASCAR’s top series headed out west to start a two-race stint on the left coast beginning with the first stop of the year at the Auto Club Speedway in California. With this just the second race of the season, the race to get into the Top 35 is a complete mess, with teams jumping way …
