RAB Racing announced Tuesday that Jason Bowles would be taking over the #09 for this weekend’s Nationwide race at Phoenix. Bowles is the reigning West Series Champion and will be making his second start in NASCAR’s number two series. This move of course displaced the guy, albeit temporarily, who had been in the car all [...]

9 Comments »A NASCAR Career Isn’t For Everyone
April 5th, 2010 T.C. One of the most frequent questions asked of myself and Journo by readers, is how one can go about getting a job in racing.

April 5th, 2010 Journo Two incidents, two very similar stories. Two drivers enter a turn, two wide. The one on the bottom slips up and wrecks the one on top. The one who was wrecked has his car repaired and returns to track. He goes out and wrecks the one who wrecked him. One incident ends with a car [...]

Busch’s win was his first as a team owner. Harvick wasn’t [...]

At this point both have built teams that are consistently competitive and capable of winning races and on track they both have had very comparable success in their driving careers (though [...]

April 1st, 2010 T.C. Hope you all enjoyed our little joke earlier, we certainly had fun doing it. This is my real post for today, and don’t worry, none of this is an April Fools prank.

April 1st, 2010 T.C. Both myself and Journo have worked very hard over the last two years to protect our identities, from both our readers and those inside the sport. But apparently, we haven’t worked hard enough. A prominent member of the media has discovered who we are and is planning to out us. So, instead of letting this [...]
