We’ve received some concerned tweets, emails, and comments about our whereabouts and I just wanted to drop in and ease your minds. No, we aren’t dead, haven’t been laid off, or been abducted by aliens. We are still deeply entrenched where we’ve always been. But after nearly four straight years of working on the blog [...]

Kyle Got What Kyle Deserved
November 7th, 2011 
Journo The responsibility over the past two or three seasons we’ve given back to the drivers came I think with a very clear understanding that there could be a line that got crossed. As annoying as the comments that I’ve made personally in the past about ‘we’ll know it when we see it’ might have been, [...]

35 Comments »Vintage Insiders: Will This Season’s Star Please Stand Up
October 18th, 2011 Journo *post originally ran on April 19. Coming off of a season that saw a pot hole mar the opening race and then rain and other issues combine to make for a less than stellar start, 2011 has been nothing short of a breath of fresh air in the Cup Series. And consider this, with Jimmie [...]
Vintage Insiders: Rain Delays Aren’t Good For Anyone
September 19th, 2011 Journo *With rain coming down in Joliet, Illinois and the Cup Series race postponed until Monday at noon we thought you might enjoy a Vintage Insiders (March 2010) rain delay post – wrong track… but you get the idea. Have a great (and dry) Monday! – Journo I don’t know what it is about Martinsville, but [...]
Welcome Back Kurt Busch! Then Again…
September 12th, 2011 Journo File this under moments of the absurd. In the midst of setting the field for the Chase and a wild one at Richmond, it was a very angry Kurt Busch who was catching everyone’s attention. Following Saturday night’s race Busch got into a dispute with not one, but two members of the NASCAR press corps [...]
The NASCAR Week That Was: Aug. 21-27
August 28th, 2011 Journo Just two more weeks until NASCAR sets the field for the Chase to the Sprint Cup.

The NASCAR Week That Was: July 31 – August 6
August 6th, 2011 Journo Carl Edwards led the news this week as he ended months of speculation about his future in 2012 and beyond by re-signing with Roush Fenway Racing. Edwards, widely rumored to be considering a move to Joe Gibbs Racing, signed a multi-year deal that included incentives from team partner Ford. In other news, Dale Earnhardt Jr. [...]
Saturday Night Was Embarrassing
July 26th, 2011 Journo As I heard Pastor Joe Nelms’ invocation on Saturday night, I, like everyone, chuckled at the absolute absurdity of the thing. I wasn’t sure if I was watching a prayer, or a scene from Talladega Nights. As the night wore on and one day has turned into two, the more I’ve thought about it, the [...]

July 21st, 2011 Journo Just past the halfway point of the season, with just seven races until the Chase begins, several teams have decided now is the prefect time to start making some serious changes on the ground. Roush Fenway Racing announced last week Greg Erwin was being replaced by Matt Puccia as Greg Biffle’s crew chief. The #16 [...]
Does It Matter Who The Insiders Are?
July 15th, 2011 T.C. Earlier this week we reported that International Trucks (Navistar) had signed on with Germain Racing for this weekend. The company has been with Randy Moss Motorsports since last year. Later in the day, Dave Moody and his “sources” “confirmed” what we had already reported – something he has done five times since last August. He [...]
