Danica Ready to Put Bygones Aside at The Mile

‘Let bygones by bygones’ could well be today’s sage words of advice from Andretti Green Racing’s Danica Patrick as she contemplates her fifty-third IndyCar Series start at the Milwaukee Mile on Sunday (June 1st)

Why bother even trying anymore?

Before the race even started last week, both the Haas CNC cars were confiscated by NASCAR for what it deemed “rules infractions”.  If you haven’t already read it, my colleague John Davison here at FastMachines wrote about the specifics of the violations on Tuesday.  Basically, it boiled down to the team moving the wing by changing the bolt locations where the wing meets the car.  Not on one car, but both the #66 driven by Scott Riggs and the #70 driven by Johnny Sauter.  It was announced on Wednesday by NASCAR officials that the penalties for the drivers, team owners, and crew chiefs were some of the stiffest ever handed out: Read more

The longest night in NASCAR!

The 600 miles was three too many for Stewart, but just right for Kasey Khane. Once in a while you see somebody that really has his act together at a certain track. But with so many 1.5 mile ovals on the schedule I’m surprised Lowes is the realm of two drivers, Read more

How the NHRA’s Missing the Boat

What’s the one biggest difference between NASCAR and the NHRA? Well coming from my perspective, as a person of reasonable marketing knowledge, I would say that it’s the perceived lack of sex appeal that our sport has in the eye of the public and potential marketing partners. And no I don’t mean sex appeal as it normally relates to women. What I’m referring to is the lack of brash, passionate, young, talented, natural, photogenic, well-spoken drivers in our sport. As I watched the National Hot Rod Association coverage of the O’Reilly Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, TN, something hit me. Albeit, it didn’t hit me right then but almost a week later to the day a bell went off saying “That’s It!” Read more

Double Clutchin’-The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly From The Coca-Cola 600

First off, lets get this out of the way early.

Clap. Clap. Clap. Congratulations to the prettiest driver in NASCAR (sarcasm there folks) on his victory Sunday night. If I hadn’t of watched the race, I would still have been able to tell who won it; after all, the high-pitched screams that came through my TV speakers, Read more

Monday Morning Crew Chief

The announcement of H.A. “Humpy” Wheeler’s departure as the promoter at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway rocked the NASCAR community. The less than amicable split with Speedway Motorsports Inc. owner Bruton Smith immediately became one of the most significant break-ups in the sport’s history. Here follows one writer’s opinion of the Top 25 break-ups in NASCAR. Read more
