Well, as I had mentioned last week, someone would DNF their way to the bottom of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase standings.  Unfortunately for “Five Time” Jimmie Johnson, he was the one who got loose and into the wall in the Bank of America 500. And in the end, it was Matt Kenseth coming home [...]

So, who said Jimmie Johnson was done?  Obviously those who did far underestimated Ol’ Five Time’s ability to dig himself out and make more than a modest recovery.  JJ gambled on the Hollywood Casino 400 and came up the big winner, crushing the rest of the field by leading the most laps (124), holding off [...]

Read on to find out. The Geico 400 starts the action of [...]

What a week…Atlanta Motor Speedway, lots of rain, and Jeff Gordon tells NASCAR he’s still got some game.  For those who missed this past weekend’s news, Sunday’s AdvoCare500 was rained out, drenched by remnants of Tropical Storm Lee and rescheduled to a rare Tuesday offering.  Amid drizzle and one Red Flag period, Jeff Gordon held off Jimmie [...]
