No, We Aren’t Dead

We’ve received some concerned tweets, emails, and comments about our whereabouts and I just wanted to drop in and ease your minds.

The responsibility over the past two or three seasons we’ve given back to the drivers came I think with a very clear understanding that there could be a line that got crossed.

*post originally ran on April 19. Coming off of a season that saw a pot hole mar the opening race and then rain and other issues combine to make for a less than stellar start, 2011 has been nothing short of a breath of fresh air in the Cup Series. And consider this, with Jimmie [...]

Welcome Back Kurt Busch! Then Again…

Journo — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 07:00:12 +0000

File this under moments of the absurd. In the midst of setting the field for the Chase and a wild one at Richmond, it was a very angry Kurt Busch who was catching everyone’s attention.

Saturday Night Was Embarrassing

Journo — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 07:00:22 +0000

As I heard Pastor Joe Nelms’ invocation on Saturday night, I, like everyone, chuckled at the absolute absurdity of the thing. I wasn’t sure if I was watching a prayer, or a scene from Talladega Nights. As the night wore on and one day has turned into two, the more I’ve thought about it, the [...]
