Kyle gets gored at the bullring!

Three race leaders… sounds boring. But it wasn’t! Carl Edwards took the early lead, only to give it up to Kyle Busch. Other than a single lap up front by Jeff Gordon, Busch was firmly in control for more than 400 laps. After every pit stop, with fresh rubber, Carl would challenge Kyle for the lead, occasionally pulling beside him, but never getting ahead of him. On lap 469, following yet another caution, Carl got under Kyle, bumped him, and went back into the lead. Kyle’s teammate Denny Hamlin also got past Kyle to run second.After a few more laps Kyle got back into second place, but never was able to pull close enough to tap Edwards, until the cool down lap, following the checkered flag. On the cool down Kyle hit Carl and Edwards used his car to slam Kyle back. In his radio interview after the race Kyle threatened to wreck Carl at a future event. A rivalry is fine, but I don’t think Kyle is mature enough to be involved in a rivalry. I think, to be fair, both of...

Silly Silly Season!!!

This year I think is going to set a record for a Sprint Cup Silly Season. It just gets worse as it goes on. Drivers are being hired without knowing which car, or sponsor they will run in 2009. There apparently are only four teams left in the sport. Toyota, Ford, Chevy and Dodge. The individual teams don’t seem to be as important as the game goes on. Joey Logano will apparently drive a  JGR Toyota Cup car part of this season. And he will drive the Hall of Fame Toyota for several more races...

NASCAR Tells Kyle And Carl To Play Nice

The issue has been addressed with both drivers and they both know where they stand,”...

Changes are a-comin’ for the Bud Shootout

NASCAR and Budweiser recently announced that the Budweiser Shootout, an exhibition race held during Speedweeks prior to the Daytona 500, will undergo a major format change starting with the 2009 race.  For the past 30 years, the race sponsor extended invitations to those drivers who won a pole the previous season, or previous winners of the race.  Now, the race will only be open to the top 6 teams from each manufacturer.  The top 6 teams will be determined by the previous year’s points position. It...

Double Clutchin’-The Good, Bad, And Ugly From Bristol

I bump you, you bump me, we’re a NASCAR family… No Christmas cards will be exchanged between Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards this year, and there probably wouldn’t have been before Carl took Kyle’s bump during the cool-down lap and gave him his best heavy metal left hook. I love Bristol. Anyways, since I already talked about the after race issues and the importance of bad guys in NASCAR in a previous post, this is going to be a shortened version of the Good, the Bad, and the...

Hey Open Wheel Guys, How’d That Work Out For Ya?

A mere two years after the beginning of NASCAR’s big ”Open Wheel Invasion,” we are about to come full circle.  As of now, it looks as though the two original drivers who defected from open-wheel racing may be the last ones standing for 2009.  Congratulations to Sam Hornish Jr. and Juan Pablo Montoya for having such staying power.  On the fence is A.J. Allmendinger, who has improved greatly in the last few months, but who is also still not re-signed with Red Bull Racing. ...
