Tony Stewart won the Emory Healthcare 500 at AMS, ten of the top twelve are locked into the Chase and the last two of the top twelve would have to have an absolute disastrous race in Richmond to miss it. Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer aren’t locked in, but they might as well be with what it would take for them to miss out on a chance to make a run for the Sprint Cup Championship. That is exactly what Ryan Newman is hoping for next Saturday night; a totally [...]
>>>Click Here for Quicktime Play/Link – iPhone etc<<< The race at Loudon had a lot of hype coming into it, but when all was said and done, racing at the “Magic Mile” turned out to be relatively tame. One would have thought, (if they listened to all the media hype), there was a great possibility of major paybacks coming at the hands of those that had their day ruined at Sonoma the weekend before. From this fan’s view, the race went pretty much as I expected and much of the [...]
Denny Hamlin won the Gillette Fusion Pro-Glide 500 at Pocono Sunday afternoon. (So what else IS new?) He continues to amaze many with his consistency and, whether you like him or not, he is proving he and his #11 FedEx – JGR team have what it takes to be considered a threat to win a NASCAR championship. (In fact, many think this could be the year he and his team unseat Jimmie Johnson and the #48 Hendrick team from repeating taking the championship for the fifth year in a row.) [...]
When NASCAR shows up at Pocono to face the treacherous triangular tri-oval, it is anybody’s guess who will walk away with the victory. It is another one of those tracks that has a list of drivers that perform well there, but they don’t necessarily perform that well all day long. I do find it fascinating that lately some of the most unexpected drivers and teams seem to look strong during practice and qualifying. Maybe to some these performances aren’t unexpected, but, honestly, the real story won’t be known until the [...]
One thing is certain concerning the racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway over the last two weekends… The Bush brothers, in particular Kurt Bush along with Steve Addington and Penske Racing, put a hurting on the rest of the competitors. Not many thought a car that started out strong in the daylight would finish strong at night in the 600, (and I was one of them), but Kurt Bush’s #2 Miller Lite Dodge did exactly that. He led the most laps and the outcome of the 600 mile race was hardly [...]
Say what you will about Darlington but it looks like at least a couple of drivers and their teams have a good grip on what it takes to tame “The Track That’s Too Tough To Tame.” No one can discount the fact that Jeff Gordon made another strong showing Saturday night at Darlington. He led the most laps and ran at or near the front most of the night, but still finished fourth in another race he ‘coulda-woulda-shoulda’ won, “If Only…” Well, those words have always loomed awfully large when [...]
