We first reported this week that Travis Pastrana would be making his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut with RAB Racing (or the team’s points at least). The deal was an obvious one for Pastrana 199 Racing to secure a guaranteed starting spot for the rookie driver. This, and other deals, leave Kenny Wallace out of a ride, [...]

Journo Pastrana To Debut With RAB Racing?
April 16th, 2012 T.C. When Travis Pastrana, who was in attendance at Texas Motor Speedway, makes his NASCAR debut next weekend at Richmond International Raceway, it may be in a car associated with RAB Racing.

March 18th, 2010 Journo I don’t understand JR Motorsports. They spend an awful lot of time complaining about their money situation. Dale Jr. advertised how much the wrecks cost him at Daytona; and they seem to constantly be advertising their struggle to find sponsorship (welcome to the club). And lest you think otherwise their team spokesman is more than [...]
Can A Non Cup Driver Challenge for the Nationwide Title?
March 8th, 2010 T.C. Now that Danica is taking a NASCAR hiatus for a few months, can we please get back to talking about the actual competition in the Nationwide Series? Three races into the season, the top ten in NNS points could be mistaken for the top ten in the Cup Series. Seven of the top ten are [...]
New Teams Finding Opportunities in Down Economy
January 7th, 2009 T.C. When we look back at this off-season, what we will remember the most were all the teams we lost to closings and mergers, and all the employees who lost their jobs. It has certainly been one of the toughest periods in the history of our sport. But where holes have been left behind by teams like Petty, Bill [...]
