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 [...]

NASCAR travels back to Kansas Speedway this weekend for the Hollywood Casino 400, a 1.5-mile tri-oval track we’ve visited once so far this year (my June race preview).  We’re in for 267 laps of continued competition in the fourth race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, at a track where Brad Keselowski truly lit the [...]

Chicagoland Speedway put on a great show for the Geico 400, to include a Command to Fire Engines so simple even a Caveman could do it. In the end, Tony Stewart didn’t run out of fuel in the first [...]

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 [...]

It was the finish to remember in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan last week in the Pure Michigan 400 as well as last night in the Nationwide Series Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway, as Kyle Busch racked up two more victories.  Kyle has now won the last three Nationwide Series races at BMS, and with [...]

By Speedglutton The drivers roll back into Pocono and Long Pond, PA this weekend for the Good Sam RV Insurance 500.  The biggest question right now,  is whether or not the race will happen.  Like a comment I Tweeted about a few days ago concerning the rain and it being like Dover in June, storm [...]
