Pit Road Odds And Ends

T.C. — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 02:55:51 +0000

As we head towards the weekend, I’ve got a couple of topics I wanted to cover regarding the recent goings on surrounding pit road. New Gas Man Rule NASCAR announced a few weeks back that gas men are no longer allowed to attempt extra work while fueling the car during pit stops. What the rule [...]

Kyle Busch. The Yellow Line. And NASCAR’s Correct Call

Journo — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 04:30:06 +0000

Why is it when a driver cries foul they’re always correct (drivers are of course the pinnacle of impartiality and infallibility)? And why is it so many people think NASCAR has an agenda with every call they make (after all this is the WWE right)? Take Saturday night. Kyle Busch wins in the closest finish [...]

See, NASCAR Doesn’t Just Penalize The Little Guys

T.C. — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 02:03:29 +0000

When NASCAR announced today that they were dropping the hammer on Clint Bowyer and his team for violations following his win at Loudon, they showed the teams and fans that nobody is above the law. Big team, small team, in the Chase, or just trying to qualify, the rules apply to everyone. Both myself and [...]

Precedent Means Nothing To NASCAR

T.C. — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 04:51:31 +0000

I’ve been following the Carl Edwards/Brad Keselowski reaction all week, because I was curious how everyone would respond to the incident. Between Twitter, forums, blog comments, and the writers, I’ve read a lot. Journo weighed in on the topic here on Monday. Some folks have made some really great points, and I can understand most [...]

Self-Policing…I Guess We See How That Worked

Journo — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:22:37 +0000

NASCAR policies often ebb and flow in their enforcement. In the past we’ve seen a sanctioning body that really likes to loosen things up when people start complaining; but when that inevitable watershed event occurs enforcement gets ramped up again. In true NASCAR form, this season brought us one of those promises of lighter enforcement. They [...]

Slow Down NASCAR

Journo — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 08:02:55 +0000

I have to commend NASCAR, they really have been listening to all of the sport’s stakeholders and then taking proactive steps to correct things they have identified as problems. Through individual feedback, town hall meetings, and the fan council, the once infallible sanctioning body is realizing that maybe they are capable of making mistakes. We’re [...]
