In the past, the extra 100 miles that make the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR’s longest event has proved to add an extra dimension to an already grueling race. This year was no different, as it wasn’t how you started but how you finished that made the difference. It seemed that every driver who ran up front …
This week, here’s a sneak peek at what a select few were thinking following the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
I suppose the argument could be made that none of the drivers sitting in NASCAR’s victory lane this weekend should have been there. Over in the Truck Series, Donny Lia managed to make a name for himself on the national grid by doing what any modified driver does best; he moved the competition over in …
Tony Stewart cut down a tire with three laps to go, allowing Kasey Kahne to streak by him for the World 600 win.
Though he failed to overwhelm the CARQUEST 300 field as he has in other races this season, Kyle Busch was the class of the field again at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
If the old expression that “everything before the word but is a lie” holds true, then the world of NASCAR journalists are lying an awful lot about Kyle Busch. And that goes for whether they are complimenting or excoriating the young man. Some may think it appropriate that Busch brings out the BUTs in racing …
Something about NASCAR’s annual All-Star weekend gets the rumor mill churning every year. Yes, this season has been wackier than usual (I’m vowing to find other adjectives to use besides “silly” this time around) earlier than ever before. But once again – as if on cue – drivers, owners and sponsors seem to give us …
The Sprint Cup Series went from the gritty Darlington Raceway to the glitzy All-Star Race in the last two weeks; but now, it’s time to get down to business in the longest race of the year, the Coca-Cola 600. Sunday’s event will be a test of endurance for the drivers and crews, as they fight …
The Sprint All-Star Race lacked the excitement of previous years. Why was that, and what can be done to revitalize the race in the future?
Did You Notice? That the gap between the “Big Four” in Cup racing and the rest of the pack is getting wider than ever before? We say this stuff all the time, but I did a little research in the off-week to take a look at the stats for the 2008 Cup season to date. What …
10. It takes 575 gallons of yellow paint to paint the walls of Lowe’s Motor Speedway for the All-Star Race.
The All-Star Race is all about the money, with a cool $1 million on the line, no one holds back and mayhem typically ensues. Or, as this year’s event showed, it can turn into a parade around the track where track position dominates the event and there is almost no passing for the lead. While the $1 million was …
