Quaker State 400: Traffic Jam On and Off the Track?

Jun 30, 2012 4 Comments

As I sat down to write last week’s predictions, I didn’t know how true my words would be.  Not only had Dale Jr redeemed himself two weeks ago at Michigan, but Clint Bowyer got the job done last week on the Sonoma Road course for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 for his first win of the [...]

Quicken Loans 400: Who Cashes and Who Crashes at Michigan?

After a week off while we relaunched our new sports-glutton.com, NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSC) coverage is back.  Drivers braved the newly paved “Tricky Triangle” at Pocono last week, where the racing surface reportedly is now closer to that of a road course (so say the drivers), and combined with the shortened race length from 500 [...]

Coca Cola 600: Let Freedom Race!

Quite a race and such controversy from last week’s NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSC) All-Star Race at the 1.5-mile quad oval track of the Charlotte Motor Speedway (CMS).   Jimmie Johnson and his #48 Lowe’s team came home with a near walk-off win (sorry for the baseball metaphor) as he dominated not only in winning the first segment, [...]

At last, one milestone and long-awaited victory has been achieved.  And no, it’s not breaking Dale Jr’s winless-streak.  I’m talking about a feat only one other NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSC) race team has accomplished: Two Hundred Wins.  Hendrick Motorsports achieved that last week with a victory by a race-dominating Jimmie Johnson and his #48 Lowes Chevrolet team [...]

As expected, the Pack was Back last week at Talladega.  And we all saw some serious Alabama Slammin’ in the NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSC) Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Super Speedway (TSS).  Only a few wrecks, but those few were pretty spectacular.  But in the end, it was Brad Keselowski outpacing Kyle Busch for the win in [...]

Capital City 400 at Richmond: Lovin’ Virginia

Last week’s STP400 at Kansas Speedway was far from the Demolition Derby I predicted, with the construction crews coming up the big winner considering there were no big wrecks and very few caution flags.  Now the track at Kansas is torn up and crews race against the clock to ensure the racing surface is prepared [...]

STP 400 at Kansas Speedway: Demolition Derby?

Apr 22, 2012 No Comments

With six races in the books last week for the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSC) season, a dry spell was bound to be broken.  But it wasn’t Dale Jr’s 3 1/2 year drought ending, it was Greg Biffle bringing home the win and cowboy hat in the Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.  Firing off [...]
