Last weekend at New Hampshire was a big weekend for Ryan Newman. Not only did he pick up his first Cup Series win of the season, but he also took down his third straight Whelen Modified win at the track. Newman won in a car owned and prepared by Earnhardt Ganassi Racing crew chief Kevin [...]

July 19th, 2011 T.C. I’m going to start this off by saying that this post is just speculation on my part. We haven’t heard this is happening, but I wanted to explore it anyway because I think it’s a real possibility. Even though Jimmie Johnson came back to finish fifth on Sunday at New Hampshire, he was clearly not [...]

September 21st, 2009 T.C. What started out as a tension filled weekend between the likes of Kevin Harvick Inc. and Thorsport Racing ended up turning into a bizarre display of teammate on teammate crime. Hey Harvick, if there is one driver that you can be damn sure isn’t going to pull over for you, it’s Ron Hornaday. After Thorsport driver [...]
Parker Kligerman, Wyler Racing, & Michael McDowell
September 16th, 2009 T.C. Silly Season has picked up considerably over the last few weeks, and we’ve got a few more bits to add to the mix. First, we are hearing that Penske Racing developmental driver Parker Kligerman, who currently co-leads the ARCA RE/MAX Series points, may run a few Nationwide Series races towards the end of the season.

Please Tell Me You Saw That Truck Race
September 14th, 2009 T.C. If you happen to be one of the many race fans who is unhappy with the Cup Series and the current perceived lack of “racing” and action, then you need to seek out the Truck Series.

July 1st, 2009 T.C. So unless you live under a rock (which I’m guessing you don’t, because you are reading this blog post), you know that Joey Logano picked up his first Cup Series win last Sunday at New Hampshire. The #20 Toyota was certainly not the best car and Logano actually got two lucky dogs during the race [...]

February 20th, 2009 Journo Bruton Smith amped up his Kentucky Speedway rhetoric this week, with the help of Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear, as they announced plans for a $75 million expansion (with help from the state) to aid them in their quest for a Sprint Cup Series date. And why not? Kentucky is a great facility. The mile and a half, 68,000 [...]
Reader Question: Playing the Fuel Mileage Game
September 16th, 2008 T.C. We haven’t done an “Ask The Insiders” question in a while, so I think its time to dig into the mailbag for a question. I got an email from reader Jerry yesterday asking about strategy and fuel mileage. He says: It seems almost every week the announcers talk about fuel mileage determining the end of [...]
