Journo Is It Time To Start Taking Away Wins?
February 25th, 2011 Journo NASCAR issued the inaugural fines of the season on Tuesday – in fact they were the inaugural fines for a newish team too. If you missed the penalty announcement or the act itself, NASCAR found: The No. 15 truck driven by Michael Waltrip was to be in violation of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock [...]

February 20th, 2011 T.C. The opening weekend of the 2011 NASCAR season is in the books. We saw spectacular finishes, a lot of action, and even some controversy. So from Friday’s wild Truck Series race, all the way through Sunday’s incredible finale, was Daytona what you’d hoped for? After Thursday’s Duel races, I can’t lie, I was afraid we might [...]
Is NASCAR Missing the Mark with Social Media?
December 31st, 2010 Journo Do you follow NASCAR on Twitter? I noticed this week, in comparison to other sports sanctioning bodies, NASCAR’s Twitter following is pitiful (TC and I would take in a second though). Consider this: NASCAR has 31,708 followers The NFL has 1,839,492 followers The NBA has 2,204, 132 followers MLB has 1,055,408 followers The NHL has [...]

April 2nd, 2010 Journo Could Michael Waltrip match the success of Richard Childress? I know it’s an odd question, but I was thinking about this the other day. 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 [...]
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 [...]

January 19th, 2010 T.C. It’s a busy NASCAR week, as the Charlotte Motor Speedway Media Tour means a ton of news and announcements. And the Media Tour means we inch ever closer to Daytona. And as we do, it’s Wednesday again, and that means more of your questions and our answers. If you don’t know what this post is, we answer any [...]

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 [...]

November 20th, 2009 Journo This season has yielded some good surprises. Juan Pablo Montoya has had a break through season, earning a Chase berth; David Reutimann has had some strong runs and his first win; and at age 50 Mark Martin has proven age doesn’t need to be a factor. Another guy making moves, perhaps a little under the [...]
