After last night’s post on conspiracy theories I received a comment about Toyota and not including that in the entry. That got me to thinking about the larger implications and frustration fans are having with Toyota. While their banner run this season has left many questioning advantages the manufacturer may have gotten from NASCAR, the truth [...]

Kyle Busch has emerged in the 2008 season as a powerhouse, so far winning seven out of 19 races. His season is shaping up to be one for the record books; however, his is not the first dominant season. From Jimmie Johnson to Richard Petty many drivers throughout history have had seasons where they could [...]

I’ve read what seems like a million articles and even a few emails about Tony Stewart and his new role as driver/owner of Stewart-Haas Racing over the last week or so.  Some were good, some were bad.  But there seems to be a pretty large group that think Stewart and his teammate(s) will run in the back next season, and [...]

Now that the Chicago race is over and the season is officially one race passed halfway, finally some of the story lines that have plagued the sport all season are being wrapped up. While Silly Season is far from being over, no longer is there a question about Tony Stewart’s fate for next season.

Austin Dillon, the 18 year old grandson of Cup Series team owner Richard Childress and son of former Busch Series driver Mike Dillon, might be headed for the Truck Series.  I’m hearing that he may run as many as three races this season in the NCTS to further his development.  The races will be run [...]

In the days since the shut down of the #40 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates team a lot has been written about the cause, and the potential for the future.

Yeah, there are certain tools used by NASCAR officials to make officiating the game easier like computer scoring loops and video replays, but its still up to the race director. Any time people are involved in judging anything, mistakes are bound [...]

We’ve been hearing rumblings about this for a few days, and its being reported today by the AP and ESPN that Hendrick Motorsports will announce on Friday at Daytona that Mark Martin will replace Casey Mears in the #5 for next season.  Martin has been splitting time this season with Aric Almirola in DEI’s #8 [...]

As was reported earlier today by Jayski, Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates has officially shut down the #40 Cup team for the season and has laid off 71 employees.  A lack of sponsorship is ultimately to blame for the team’s demise.  From what I’m hearing, the layoffs include the entire #40 team, and effect every [...]

With some recent high profile moves and less than stellar performances on the track, the world of motorsports has been a buzz the last couple of months with criticisms of Chip Ganassi Racing. This weekend Dario Franchitti failed for the second time this season to make a race adding to the mountain of criticism that is currently on the organization. [...]
