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 [...]

Toyota/SaveMart 350(k): Road Race Redemption

Jun 24, 2012 1 Comment

When I saw the end of last week’s NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSC) race at Michigan International Speedway, I was both excited and relieved. Excited beyond belief that Dale Earnhardt Jr, for the first time since this very race four years ago, maneuvered himself to break his 143-race winless streak (a race he won by a [...]

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 [...]

The NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSC) Series set a record last week, as the Coca-Cola 600 set a new record for the fastest elapsed time for a “600″ run (3:51:14). That time broke the previously held record for the shortest race set back in 1995 (3:56:55). This record isn’t exactly one that many like to see, [...]

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, [...]

2012 Sprint All-Star Race: Charlotte Cha-Ching!

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 [...]
