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 [...]
