T.C. — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 05:00:57 +0000

Do you remember when you were a little kid in your backyard playing whiffle ball with your buddies? You always pretended it was the bottom of the ninth in game seven of the World Series. There were two outs, the bases were loaded, and your team was down three runs. You strode to the plate [...]

This past weekend at Texas Tony Stewart notched his fourth win in the Chase – it was an impressive feat considering that prior to the first Chase race in Chicago it had been 32 races since he’d last seen victory lane.

Jimmie Johnson had a rough few weeks. He was involved in an on-track altercation with Kurt Busch at Richmond – he finished 31st. He went on to Chicago and had a respectable, but not overwhelming 10th place run. Then he struggled at New Hampshire, finishing 18th. The driver found himself 29 points back in 10th, [...]

Stick A Fork In Denny…

T.C. — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 07:00:24 +0000

Before Daytona, I wrote a blog post with some random thoughts entering the season. In it, I made predictions about which drivers I thought would win each championship.

Pit road has played a big roll in the outcome of races this season, and as the Cup and Nationwide Series search for their 2011 champions, an even bigger emphasis will be placed on the crews.

Brad K. Surging At The Right Time

Journo — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 07:00:22 +0000

Two years ago Brad Keselowski, seeing that his opportunities were limited, left his Nationwide ride at JR Motorsports, for a full time Cup ride at Penske Racing. The move was met with mixed reviews. And in his first full season in 2010, Keselowski struggled. The team averaged a 22.4 finish and scored just two top-10s. [...]

I’ve probably written this sentence about a dozen times so far this year, but wow this is shaping up to be a season to remember. After this weekend’s race at Watkins Glen we have 15 different winners and five different first-time winners. Those are extraordinary numbers from a season that still has 14 races left. Consider last [...]

Sunday’s race at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, dominated by fuel mileage, mistakes, and both Stewart Haas cars continued what has been a season of parity and added another contender to the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
