Thinking about starting a NASCAR team? There is a lot to consider. You need sponsors, the right driver, a good crew chief, and the best equipment and personnel you can get. But, as history shows, if you screw up the name on the sign out front, you might as well kiss any success goodbye. This [...]

June 9th, 2010 T.C. Nothing like a little drama to make things interesting.

December 1st, 2008 T.C. Lets say you own a race team. It’s a pretty good team that has a solid and stable outlook for the future. You’ve got all the pieces in place for next year: a good crew chief, the right mechanics, fast pit crew, etc. Only, there is one problem. You don’t have a driver. Crap. As [...]
