Posts from ‘September, 2009’

While doing my usual internet trolling tonight, I came across Tom Bowles’ weekly “Did You Notice” piece over at The Frontstretch.  In it, he talks about Joey Logano’s reaction to his wild wreck this past weekend at Dover.  If you haven’t seen Logano’s wreck, click here.  Bowles quotes Logano as saying:
“It just really scared the [...]

It’s the last day of September, and fall is in the air.  The Cup and Nationwide teams take the fight to Kansas Speedway this week, but before they do, it’s question and answer time.  If you don’t know what this post is, until further notice, we will be answering any and all reader questions every Wednesday, right [...]

Long before Juan Montoya was perfecting points racing, Jimmie Johnson was an expert at it. That expertise has won him the last three championships and if you surfed around the internet yesterday, you might assume he’d won his fourth.
I promise you though the Chase is far from over. While there is certainly a spread between [...]

If you were watching Nationwide Series practice on Friday, you would have no doubt seen Matt DiBenedetto (Joe Gibbs Racing developmental driver) climb into Denny Hamlin’s #20 and help the team shake it down.  DiBenedetto had just set a new track record in qualifying for the Camping World East Series race and Hamlin wanted to focus on [...]

One race into the Chase and sponsor news topped the headlines this week. Both Jack Daniels and Jim Beam announced this week that they would not be returning to their respective teams in 2010. Jack Daniels’ departure from Richard Childress Racing has increased uncertainty about the future of Casey Mears and the #07 team. Tuesday [...]

With the Chase for the Sprint Cup in full swing headed to Dover, teams must bring their “A” game to the track every weekend to have a chance at the championship.  The smallest mistake by a mechanic, or a slight misstep by a pit crew could cost their team everything.  I was curious though just [...]

By that I mean both of these guys are straight shooters. Arguably that isn’t always a good thing. One thing is sure though, you always know what they’re thinking and feeling.
After the conclusion of the “regular season” at Richmond, [...]

One Chase race down, nine to go.  It’s Wednesday again, so if you’ve got questions, we try really hard to have answers.  If you don’t know what this post is, until further notice, we will be answering any and all reader questions every Wednesday, right here.  So if you’ve got one, click on the ”Ask the [...]

What started out as a tension filled weekend between the likes of Kevin Harvick Inc. and Thorsport Racing ended up turning into a bizarre display of teammate on teammate crime.  Hey Harvick, if there is one driver that you can be damn sure isn’t going to pull over for you, it’s Ron Hornaday.
After Thorsport driver Matt [...]

Jenna Fryer at the AP first reported this weekend that Pat Tryson, crew chief for Kurt Busch has been effectively shut out of the Penske shop because of his announced defection to Michael Waltrip Racing next season.
The story quotes Penske VP of Operations Mike Nelson as saying “It really breaks down to 2009 vs. 2010. [...]
