If our Congressional douchebags representatives persist, you will be watching 43 of these bad boys on the high banks of Talladega in 2009:
Of course, this represents what you could buy in a showroom. The race version is always “green”, and will come with extra heavy-duty batteries. The specter of the big one will be [...]
As I prepare for the NASCAR winter, I salute this year’s champions:
Craftsman Trucks: Johnny Benson, won by 7 points, in a race for the ages.
Nationwide Series: Clint Bowyer, Kansas legend, driving for Richard Childress Racing. Won by 21 points.
Sprint Cup: Jimmie Johnson, by 60 points over Carl Edwards. Jimmie’s 3rd consecutive championship, tying [...]
From Homestead-Miami, a race fan’s dream weekend. The last race in the Craftsman Truck Series,the Busch Nationwide Series,and the Winston Nextel Sprint Cup Series for this season.
As a race fan, I think tonight’s running of the Craftsman Truck Series finale has the most promise for sheer excitement. Johnny Benson leads the points by 3 over [...]
Bill Elliott, having a good run at Martinsville. From 43rd to top twenty. The Awesome One was never known as a short track racer, but is delivering a stand-up performance today in the legendary Woods Brothers #21.
Even though Original Coors is no longer Bill’s primary sponsor, I’m quaffing a few of those anyhow.

From QVC’s For Race Fans Only last Friday, this set of Old Ironhead’s 10 Greatest Wins.
Memories will be relived, tears will be shed. Beers will be consumed.

A crispness in the air.
Frost warning for overnight; time to drain the outside faucets.
Tweakin’ up the Dell Mini.
Taking apart a fan in the bedroom for my little bride so she can clean it.Damn fan resembles a Chia pet. Even in the best of homes, etc.
NASCAR from Martinsville, the nicest little track on the circuit. Beautiful [...]
In the spirit of blog-like full disclosure, the origin of the “I’d sweep floors” line is Ron Hornaday , who I heard on an ESPN interview years ago saying:
I’d sweep floors to work for Dale Earnhardt.
And one phone call from Old Ironhead set him up in the driver’s seat of a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series [...]
I love three day weekends; Labor Day has always been one of my favorites. Even after NASCAR, in its quest for ever-more-ringing of cash registers, moved the Labor Day Cup event from Darlington SC to Fontana CA. I see the race is called the Pepsi 500 this year. The event was formerly known as [...]
As I watch the Busch Nationwide cars attempt to race in Montreal in the rain, I wonder: Why?
NASCAR is its own brand, its own breed. Wise up, we don’t race in the freaking rain. Period.
I guess that with the dollar being what it is, NASCAR wants to ring up cash registers elsewhere. [...]
As the NASCAR Brickyard race rolls on with the constant talk of tires, I firmly support the return of competition in the NASCAR tire wars.
Hoosier. Firestone. Goodrich. Whomever.
Give us a choice. For fans. For team owners. For the sport.
