Remember that time Roush went 31 races without a win? Yeah I don’t really either. With memories of 2009 slowly fading away, Roush is proving, with this season and last, that it’s still very much a team on top. The team currently has two of four cars inside the Chase and one knocking at the door, [...]

Journo Ask The Insiders Wednesday #87
August 11th, 2010 Journo It’s back to the Irish Hills this week as NASCAR rolls into Michigan International Speedway and inches closer to the start of the Chase. But before we head to Brooklyn (Michigan that is), it’s time to answer your questions! If you don’t know what this post is, we answer any and all reader questions every Wednesday, right [...]
McMurray Making Roush, Truex Look Bad
July 27th, 2010 Journo And in turn making Chip Ganassi, Johnny Morris and Kevin Manion look pretty good. Since returning to his old home at Ganassi Jamie McMurray looks like a new man. Just past the halfway point of the season he has won (or almost won) the three most prestigious events on the NASCAR schedule. McMurray’s got two [...]
Should They Stay Or Should They Go
February 19th, 2010 Journo Bass Pro Shops and Kasey Kahne don’t seemingly have a lot in common, but with the season now in full swing the two are about to have a very similar decision to make: do they stay where they’re at or look for greener pastures elsewhere. It’s well known Kahne and Bass Pro are in contract [...]
Does Winning the Daytona 500 Doom Your Season?
February 15th, 2010 T.C. First, before I get into the meat of this post, I want to congratulate Jamie McMurray and his Earnhardt Ganassi crew. Jamie drove his butt off and the team did a heck of a job to bring home the 2010 Daytona 500. Now, after tonight’s race I got to thinking about what it means for the season to win [...]
2009 Predictions Revisited
December 20th, 2009 T.C. Following the 2008 season, Journo and myself wrote a series of posts that covered all the major teams in the Cup Series. We looked at where they had been in 2008 and where they were going in 2009. The posts contained some predictions for the 2009 season, with some being more specific then others. I [...]

3 Comments »NASCAR Steps In It Again
November 1st, 2009 T.C. It seems this season that no matter what NASCAR does in terms of competition, they get it wrong. Today’s race at Talladega was yet another example. During the pre-race drivers meeting, NASCAR informed the drivers that they would not tolerate overly aggressive driving and bump drafting in the corners. Violators would be penalized. The drivers [...]

October 9th, 2009 T.C. Following NASCAR’s warning of Brad Keselowski last weekend at Kansas to take it easy around the Chase drivers, some fans have expressed their displeasure to us this week with NASCAR’s call. I even heard some angry calls into radio shows regarding the subject. A few in the media have also reacted to the situation, including [...]

March 30th, 2009 T.C. I went blog topic fishing today on Twitter to see what I could come up with, and Becca hit me up with this one (thanks!). We just had two straight short tracks, Bristol and Martinsville, and the five teams of Roush Fenway Racing came out the other side looking like they just went twelve rounds with Ali. [...]
