NASCAR’s very first night race at Kansas Speedway was held Friday night in the Camping World Truck Series, a race that will never be remembered as boring or uneventful. No less than nine cautions slowed the field for a total of 40 laps, just three short of the track record for the Camping World Truck …
Is it just me or is Brad Keselowski a “do as I say, not as I do” kind of racecar driver? Sunday’s race at Talladega wasn’t very friendly to Keselowski and, in turn, he wasn’t all that friendly to the rest of the competition. While the No. 2 car was racing towards the front of …
Working as a writer in the world of racing means that a majority of my weekends are spoken for before the first green flag ever waves. If I’m not at a racetrack, I’m planted in front of my television and computer so as not to miss a moment of, well, anything. This isn’t a complaint …

Joey Logano’s win at Texas was a well-deserved and hard-fought victory, especially considering that late-race restart brought on by a tire issue with Kurt Busch. Though Tony Stewart, Matt Kenseth, and teammate Brad Keselowski (among others) made a strong run for the win last Monday, it was Logano who was the victor after leading 108 …
Brad Keselowski and Kurt Busch are in a feud and it’s not looking pretty. Though Busch came back from an issue with Keselowski to win the race, some choice words were exchanged between the two both during and after the event. It caused such a buzz on social media, to the point that even Kurt Busch’s …
Before we get started, I’d like to extend my condolences to the Petty family on the passing of Lynda Petty. I never got to see Richard Petty in his prime but I have heard enough about Lynda to know she was a wonderful human being and will be deeply missed by those in the community. …
I don’t know about you, but these marathon race days/weekends are making me crazy. Even though I don’t make it to every event, I’m still tethered to my laptop/television while keeping up to date with everything happening in the world of racing for responsibilities here at Frontstretch and elsewhere. While I enjoy watching the sport, …
Timmy Hill comes off a partial schedule in 2013 as a rookie driver in the NASCARSprint Cup Series. Driving for FAS Lane Racing, Hill wrapped up the year with an average finish of 34.0, although he posted just three DNFs – none of which were due to wrecks, an admirable result for a first-year at the sport’s highest level. …
Kurt Busch is either really brave or really stupid, if not some sort of hybrid between the two. When it comes to American motorsports, the only other race that is equal to (if not larger than) the Daytona 500 in terms of prestige is the Indianapolis 500. Every IndyCar driver wants to win it, and …
Birds are singing. The sun is shining. Flowers are sprouting from the ground and in full bloom. Everything is beautiful. No, it’s not springtime yet. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. just won Daytona, and all is right with the world. NASCAR couldn’t ask for a better start to the season than a win in its biggest race …
