Richmond Rain Benefits Top 14 Chasers!With qualifying rained out NASCAR starts the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 according to points. That guarantees the cars involved in the race for the Chase will all start up front. As long as Jr., or somebody else, doesn't try passing on the outside coming down for the green flag, nobody should have to fight for track position.

I can't really comment directly about the race, because I haven't seen it yet thanks to a very busy weekend that kept me away from my apartment, and the fact that the one-hour window I had to watch racing was spent watching the ALMS race. But reports from most fans that I've been conversing with tell me that it was a typical road-course snoozer produced by the under-performing Dallara/Honda package. Furthermore, the...

Rossi prevails again at Czech GPThe MotoGP bikes took the track today in the Czeck Republic in what was destined to be a rematch of the Rossi vs. Stoner rematch from the Red Bull GP at Laguna Seca. And for the most part, fans were not let down. Stoner and Rossi started in the first and second positions respectively and after things settled down after a start where Rossi got shuffled back into third. But after a few laps into the race, the race turned into a two-man battle. Stoner looked to have the upper hand, and held at least a one-second lead over Rossi. But in...
