Search for America Tour, 2008

July 8, 2008 – 10:24 pm

Tomorrow, we head west and a tad north towards Chicago. We’re visiting a college bud of mine, and his little bride.
Whilst there, we’re planning on attending the first night Nextel Sprint Cup race at Chicagoland Speedway.
Like every trip, getting the electronics and spare batteries packed is always the biggest challenge. That’s done, [...]

Like Kissing Your Sister

June 29, 2008 – 7:30 pm

Not that I’d know, seeing that I don’t have a sister. I hate to see rain-shortened NASCAR races, especially when the eventual winner had zero chance to win if it weren’t for the rain. Such was the case today, as Kurt Busch was crowned the winner of the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 at [...]

The Twitter 500

April 7, 2008 – 8:43 pm

As many Internal Server Errors as I’ve seen from the Twitter in the last few days, they should sponsor a NASCAR race.

Go, June Bug!

Earnhardt Jr. earns pole for Sunday’s Texas Cup race
I guess the switch to Hendrick Motorsports is a good thing for Junior. It’s not bad on his fans, either; those who had a #8 tattoo need merely to juxtapose another 8, and they’re back in the game.

So Long, Dale Jarrett

March 16, 2008 – 11:52 am

Dale Jarrett, legendary second-generation driver in NASCAR’s flagship Sprint Cup Series, makes his last start in a Cup points race today.

Camry Lane

March 9, 2008 – 7:18 pm

I knew it was gonna happen, and today it did. There’s a Toyota in victory lane, following the NASCAR race in Atlanta. The good news is that Joe Gibbs Racing has the historic honor of delivering Toyota’s their first Cup triumph.
I’ll admit that I used to say “The day you see Old Ironhead [...]
