All I can say is, “WOW”.  Talk about a melee’ last week at Phoenix.  Not only was there a relative unexpected winner with Kevin Harvick taking the Checkered Flag, but the gloves more than came off, and the “boys have at it” mantra of NASCAR Sprint Cup this season reached a new high, or new [...]

So maybe I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, talking about Jimmie Johnson and his continued success as we get through the final laps of the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSC) season, as he tamed the Wild Asphalt Circus in his win at Texas in the AAA Texas 500, leading 168 of the 334 [...]

Jimmie Johnson served notice that he was serious about getting his sixth NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSC) Championship this year, as he made a classic “Team 48″ victory last week at the Martinsville Speedway, winning from the Pole.   Kyle Busch posted a very good run finishing second, with Kasey Kahne, Aric Almirola, and Clint Bowyer completing [...]
