Let me just say this first: I don’t care that somebody threw the Penske guys under the bus. There, I said it. (Cue the “you work for Hendrick” trolling in 3…2…1…) Last week, after both Penske cars were busted by NASCAR at Texas for some creative rear-end components, Jenna Fryer wrote that NASCAR may have [...]

August 29th, 2011 Journo Two years ago Brad Keselowski, seeing that his opportunities were limited, left his Nationwide ride at JR Motorsports, for a full time Cup ride at Penske Racing.

Playing Hurt Can Bring Out The Best In A Player

June 27th, 2011 T.C. We saw it at both Road America and Infineon. Bent sheet metal and angry drivers filled the garage area after the races.

Thank Goodness for Kyle Busch
August 24th, 2010 Journo Were you booing or cheering Friday night? There is nothing like a crowd at Bristol displaying their like, or in this case dislike, for a driver. Their opinion is deafening.

July 22nd, 2010 Journo After a couple of days of what I’m sure was intense hand wringing and some serious questions, NASCAR announced Wednesday the punishment for Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski after their last lap melee at Gateway.
