Joey Logano is still so damn young! But you know, that final maneuver on Mark Martin Sunday afternoon was no rookie deal. It takes a focused, hungry racer who will see a veteran stumble and chose that moment to push–push the one who slipped and push his car right on by and into Pocono’s victory …
Ha! Made you look. Yes, the title to this column is a completely gratuitous effort to add to the NASCAR web crawlers’ pile of Google results for two of the most popular catch phrases in today’s pop culture. I could have popped Danica Patrick, Kurt Busch or Jeff Gordon into the title, but if I’m …
Yes, there is something exquisite about a day that welcomes you with the twisting course of Monaco, feasts on the flat rectangle of Indy and toasts the night with 600 miles at Charlotte. Racing in all shapes and sizes. Fast cars, enthusiastic fans, panoramas of some of our favorite international locales; all of these fill …
I enjoy country music, spaghetti, Mythbusters, my two cats and…NASCAR.
Instead of the obligatory slew of thanks and general thumping of his own back, Joey Logano avoided eye contact with both the camera and his interviewer as the reality of his Friday night Nationwide win sank in.
“I think we ought to make it a Figure 8.” Most assuredly awkward silence reigned amongst the media reporters as they exchange confused glances at Tony Stewart‘s declaration on what to do with Talladega. And I sat here and thought, “Well, why the hell not? Great idea!” After the unusual conclusion to Sunday’s Aaron’s 499 …
Jamie Little opened the post-race interview with Travis Pastrana and asked him what was the highlight and lowlight of his first Nationwide Series race. “The lowlight was gettin’ beat by both the girls.” In less than 140 characters Travis Pastrana managed to raise my eyebrows with the second utterance of this sentiment on Friday night. …
It’s gonna happen soon. Anytime now. In fact, it should’ve occurred last month, last week, yesterday. But it didn’t. In case you live in the backwoods of no-nevermind, Hendrick Motorsports has not logged their 200th Sprint Cup win – much to the disappointment of our friendly FOX broadcast crew. By now we all know about …
We settled onto the hard backless bench and watched the Hobby Stock division take to the track for some hot laps at Lee USA Speedway. New to this venue and some of the lower divisions running, we grinned at the aged Monte Carlos as they sort of drifted out of turn 4 and slid up …
There’s something quite poetic about blowing up a building to see if the Toyota truck perched on the roof can survive the 20-story fall. I mean, who wouldn’t be cheering for the complete demolition of one of the foreign interlopers in the automotive market? And who had to admit utter defeat to the Japanese carmakers …
As a fan, baseball is a simple game. I cheer for the Red Sox. That’s it. I don’t play fantasy leagues, think that maybe Baltimore is looking pretty good this year or St. Louis recruited an awesome rookie so I’ll send some happy thoughts that way. It’s my team or nothing. I am not so …
The green flag dropped. The field took the first turn, and in a matter of minutes it began to string out. Cameras zoomed in on the leaders, taking in the sponsors splashed across the fenders and the afternoon moved along. There were pit stops, engine failures, frustrated teammates and at long last a victor. Funny …
