I started to think about this post a few weeks ago. At the time, Germain Racing, for the second season in a row, was threatening to shut down Todd Bodine’s #30 team for a lack of sponsorship. It was stunning to think the reigning series championship was about to be parked for a lack of [...]

4 Comments »At What Point Do We Just Call It What It Is?
December 17th, 2010 Journo I fully understand the idea behind putting the best face on something. It’s in the best interest of companies, and in our case race teams, to make sure they’re portrayed in the best light possible.

Then 19-year-old Joey [...]

While the year has been rough for the sponsorship market as a whole, in no place has it hit harder then in the Truck Series. The biggest anomaly in the series are the amount of experienced, [...]

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 [...]
You Call That a Penalty?
September 18th, 2008 Journo As I watched Todd Bodine’s and David Starr’s crews go at it last weekend (here is the video in case you missed it), I figured some harsh penalties would be doled out. And why not? I heard someone spit in David Starr’s face, and that Dennis Adcock, one of the lead series officials, was hit in [...]
