Double Clutchin’-The G, B, And U From Michigan: Part Two
August 18, 2008
Busch>Edwards>Everybody Else.
If you wanted to sum up this season in NASCAR. you could use the formula above to sum it up and it would be hard to dispute. There have been 23 races this season and 13 of them have been won by the duo. And that’s just in the Cup. The two have also combined for nine wins on the Nationwide Series, which gives them a grand total of 22 wins in both Read more
JGR Caught With Hand In Cookie Jar
August 17, 2008
Well, there are a lot of people upset with Joe Gibbs Racing right now, and it’s no surprise that most of those people are drivers and owners who have seen the rear end of Gibbs cars more than they would like to this season. JGR and Toyotas have been dominant in both series and that’s raised many eyebrows about how they got so good, so quick. Read more
Vickers Sits On Pole For Michigan, Stewart And Newman, Olympic Racing
August 15, 2008
The last time that Brian Vickers sat on a pole, was 2006. Big difference between now and 2006? In 2006 he drove for Hendrick.
Now Vickers, of course, drives for Red Bull Racing, and this is the first time that team has put a driver on the pole in their two season existence. But when the 3M Performance Read more
Double Clutchin’-The Good, The Bad, And The Glen
August 12, 2008
What was it that The Who said? Oh yeah, that song went a little something like this:
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
And I think they followed that part up with something about Read more
NASCAR Sexual Harassment Suit Gets Even Uglier
August 7, 2008
If you’re one of those people who just wants to read about the drivers, the cars, and the next race, this is your warning. I’ll have some of that writing later, but until then, this post will probably have you shaking your head and going, “what do they always have to write about that stuff for?” Well, it’s because it might turn out to be important, that’s why.

Double Clutchin’-The Good, The Bad, And The Michael Waltrip From Pocono
August 4, 2008
Gotta love a good cheap shot whenever you can get one in, don’t you?
Anyways, at least we had a race that ended up going the full, allotted number of laps, that did not end under a caution or green-white checkered, and had only one competition caution as opposed to 1000. When those things are taken into consideration, one can look at Pocono as being a successful race. Read more
Still dumbfounded - but random thoughts come anyway
July 30, 2008
I’ll admit it, I’m still a little in shock from the race from Indy this Sunday…if you can call that 400 mile parade a race, that is. I debated even posting anything this week, I was so miffed at that debacle. I decided that like all good bloggers, I had the responsibility to join the millions of detractors and badmouth NASCAR in a public forum…ahh, this is what I love about blogging.
On to the thoughts after the “Allstate 400, Brought to You by the Color Yellow”: Read more
Double Clutchin’-The Ugly From The Brickyard
July 28, 2008
Sorry that this article was late. I blew two tires out while trying to get to a computer.
I’ll be at the Comedy Barn all week. This race gave me a million jokes, every one of them as bad as that one, and none of which are as bad as the Brickyard 400 turned out to be on Sunday. Good God, that was an abomination of a race yesterday. Probably the best quote that I’ve heard about the race was from Dr. Jerry Punch. Dr. Punch is on 990 am in Knoxville every week and he is always a good guest on the John and Jimmy show, and today he shared a couple of thoughts about how hard it was to do commentary for that race, and just how terrible the race was to watch. I had to laugh with this quote: Read more
This Kyle Busch Stuff Is Getting Out Of Hand
July 26, 2008
197 out of 200 laps.
You read that right. Kyle Busch led the Kroger 200 for 197 out of its 200 laps. If he were a baseball player someone would have hit him with a pitch by now. Right in the melon. That was his sixth Nationwide victory and Toyota’s 15th in 22 Nationwide races.
Guess impounding the Toyotas at Chicagoland and changing the rules in mid-stream isn’t showing results yet, huh? Read more
Truex To Stay With DEI
July 26, 2008
Well, the house that Dale built is going to have at least one driver next season.
In what I consider to be a mildly surprising move, Martin Truex, Jr. reportedly has agreed to a contract with DEI through 2010. From the four-letter network: Read more
