Talladega and Richmond
Posted Tuesday, May 5, at 1:32 PM Since I was being lazy last week I missed my review of Talladega so here it is a quick review of Talladega and then a few notes from Richmond and we will be all caught up and ready for more Saturday night racing at Darlington! Quick Talladega Review...
What a great race! I have to say this weekend's race from Phoenix International Raceway was everything you want in a race. There was come controversy, high emotions, and a winner that I think everyone agrees deserved to be in victory lane. So let's jump right on into this and hit some of the highlights from this historic race...
This week was an off week so my parents and I headed off to Batesville, AR for Mark Martin's fan day. It's about a six hour drive one way and worth every minute. To be honest I'm not really for sure where to start so I guess I'll just jump right in and give you a highlight of what there is to do and some of our stories from the day...
Alright since I haven't done a blog yet this week I'm going to do a quick on with some links to video's and pictures from Texas along with the newest update to the Sweet and Sour videos. Big Headlines this week: -The number 8 Ganassi Earnhardt car driven by Aric Almirola is out of a sponsor and for the time being out of NASCAR...
Sweet and Sour for Martinsville Alright guys I'm back after a slight hiatus and just in time because Martinsville had its share of controversy. So let's jump right in. Jimmie Vs Denny: Jimmie Johnson does take the win on Sunday but that is after he bumps Denny out of the way. ...
Kobalt Tools 500 from Atlanta Motor Speedway: The Sweet: It's a Busch Brothers world...we just live in it! The weekend started off with Kyle Busch winning the truck series race in Atlanta. Crazy race and I honestly still have no idea how he pulled off that win. ...
Well we survived all the bad Vegas puns and even another episode of Digger and friends and ended up with a Vegas born winner, not to bad of a race. There were a record number of cautions and not one of them was because of rain! So let's get this started for this week.....
The Sweet: Matt Kenseth on a roll with new crew chief! -Kenseth became only the 5 driver in history to open up a season with back to back Victories. The last driver who did was the one and only California kid Jeff Gordon. It was great to see him win this one without the rains help. ...
Daytona 500 The Sweet: Matt Kenseth Wins: Winning the Daytona 500 could not have happened to a better guy. I just re-watched his after interview and I almost cried along with him. This was Jack Roush's first Daytona 500 win which makes it all the more sweet. The whole team works hard week in and week out and in the last few years have not got the wins to prove it, so congrats to him and I hope this is one of many!...
Budweiser Shootout The Sweet: -Kevin Harvick wins: Kevin Harvick came out of nowhere during this year's running of the Budweiser Shootout. After being completely out of the draft twice during the race he somehow sneaks his way right into victory lane. ...
Just Checking In... Alright everyone we have 12 days until the Daytona 500 which will kick off NASCAR season. Be sure to tune in or set your Tivo for the Budweiser Shootout on Saturday night, it's a great time to see everyone's new paint schemes and get your first look at who will be hot or not during the season...
It's almost February and that means the start of the NASCAR season is upon us! The offseason was full of contract negotiations and teams merging and that always makes for a bit of a confusing few weeks! So with 19 days until we hit Daytona I thought I'd give you a little cheat sheet to get you started on the new season...
With Phoenix down only Homestead left to go it would appear that barring a miracle Jimmie Johnson will be this year's Sprint Cup Champion. Basically Jimmie has to show up and finish better than 40th to win his third championship. Oh and Carl would have to win at homestead too. ...
Well here we are with only 2 races to go before the end of the season and the whole top 12 has been turned upside down since my last post. I was holding off making a new entry partly because I was hoping things would change and I would be able to talk about someone other than Jimmie Johnson and partly because let's face it there are more important things going on in our world right now than NASCAR… (haha) Anyway I found some time tonight to set down and do a little writing so here it goes…...
Ok folks here is how it all works out points wise, each driver in the top 12 has a shot at winning the Cup but logically it might be down to only three true contenders. Here is how the points all shaped up after last week's race and after all of the bonus points for winning were added in. Get ready for some to be lucky and some to considered out of the running by the end of the race on Sunday...
This week I'm going to take a break from the normal sweet and sour recap and try to answer that age old question… what on earth do people see in a sport that is nothing but left turns? I get this question or one very similar every time I walk out of the house with something NASCAR on and it's not the easiest one to answer but I'll go ahead and give it a good try this week. So NASCAR haters listen up here are a few reason why NASCAR has become one of the most watched sports around...
Since I have been slacking off a bit we are a few weeks behind, but this should get you all caught up with the latest winners, loser, and gossip from the past two weeks. THE SWEET and SOUR FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE: The New Hampshire race is one I look forward to every year if for nothing else it's good for some drama and normally a pretty big shake up in the points. ...
The Sweet: Kyle Busch: After having one of the worst cars all weekend Kyle Busch rallied back for his 5th win of the season. Kyle qualified 30th on Friday and was horrible in both practices. The guys in the garage worked all weekend changing and fixing things and finally got it right. ...
Junior Nation can finally take a sigh of relief… The Sweet: Dale Earnhardt Jr.- After a 76 race winless streak Dale Earnhardt Jr. finally found his way back to victory lane. The only real surprise here was that it took Jr. so long to get his first win of the year. With Hendrick power under the hood and the chemistry that Tony Eury Jr. ...
Its summer once again and with summer brings some much needed vacations. For many NASCAR fans a perfect summer getaway would be to North Carolina, most of the big teams in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide series are based out there and the famous Lowe's Motor Speedway is as well. ...
