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 [...]

Denny Hamlin fulfilled his promise and rocketed into the “serious contender” category for the 2012  NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSC) Championship (for the recap, see my review of the Sylvania 300).  Two races now in the books, and this week we leave the Granite State and the  New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS), making our way to the [...]

Denny Hamlin said it all.  After last week’s Geico 400 at Chicagoland, Denny said, almost guaranteed, that he’d win at Loudon.  And despite the mistake in tire pressure (race rather than qualifying settings) for his qualifying run, putting him 32nd when the Green Flag waved Sunday for the Sylvania 300, he ran through the pack, [...]

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 [...]
