Boring. Tedious. Wearisome. These are adjectives continually assigned to NASCAR races. It seems that we, the fan, expect to be entertained every week with side-by-side racing, last-lap passes, on-track rivalries and finishing orders that materially affect the Chase. It’s clear that we’d rather not watch a 400-mile event where a single car drives away with …
With a week off from the NASCAR Cup Series schedule, the writers from Frontstretch decided to take a look at the 25 names nominated for consideration to be one of the first five selections to be enshrined into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Since none of your Frontstretch faithful were picked to be part of …
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Come one! Come all! Under one spectacular tent, you can find it all! In the first ring, we have the stock cars. They’re big. They’re bad. Hold your hands over your ears, folks, ’cause you’re never gonna feel the floor shake quite like this anywhere else. That’s it, ma’am. Hold your …
OK folks, I’m gonna try not to rant. It’s gonna be difficult, but I will make an effort. Whose idiotic idea was double-file restarts anyway? This sensation sweeping through the highest echelons of our sport seems to indicate we’ve found something new. That is just malarkey… bologna… cow pies… horse apples… choose your favorite colorful …
Each year, I look at the renewal forms for the race tickets and grimace. You have to admit… it all adds up, especially since the expenses don’t stop with the Sunday ticket. If you’re going to drive all that way with the trailer, you’re going to buy the Friday ticket, the Saturday ticket and the …
LOUDON, N.H. – Martin Truex Jr. knew who hit him. He knew he wasn’t the one at fault. He knew that Dale Earnhardt Jr. spun his tires when the green flag waved. He knew his bright green TomTom No. 1 wouldn’t be taking off any time soon and right now, with his helmet in hand, …
No matter how jaded you might be with NASCAR, you’re still a race fan. How can I tell? You’re reading this article. Even though you have accepted, with ill grace, that the cars don’t resemble stock anything, your driver retired many years ago and more races are won these days by a margin that can …
Is it NASCAR’s responsibility to publish what precise actions resulted in a suspension – specifically when racism is involved?
It’s always interesting to watch several races in a weekend. Different cars, storylines and personalities combine to snag my attention for hours on end. Perhaps the greatest display of diverse action appeared in two separate victory lanes this weekend. After Saturday’s Nationwide race, the stands at Nashville nearly fell down with the echoes of boos …
Once upon a time – just last Friday, in fact – in a media center not too far from here sat a boy. He wore a yellow suit decorated with multi-colored candies, beautiful on the outside while attempting to hide the ugliness that occasionally lies within. His name was Kyle. Now, Kyle is not like …
It happens at the beginning of almost every NASCAR race; the Star-Spangled Banner ends to a rousing round of applause from the stands, closely followed by the thundering roar from a flight of F-14s. Each time I experience this combination of patriotism and muscular display of our nation’s military, I get goosebumps. Sharing a smile …
