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 »Random Final NASCAR Thoughts
February 6th, 2011 T.C. I didn’t have one idea that I wanted to focus on with my last blog post before the 2011 season gets under way this week, so instead I’ve got a bunch of mini topics to touch on. Feel free to comment on any or all of them. New Points System I’ve been asked by a [...]
2010 TNI Rumor Scorecard
January 2nd, 2011 T.C. At the beginning of the last two years since we opened TNI, we’ve done a rumor scorecard for the previous season. (See the ’08 and ’09 scorecards here and here.) With 2010 now officially behind us, I figured it was time to grade ourselves and our reporting for the year. Before I do though, let [...]

October 17th, 2010 T.C. While most of the big dominoes have fallen for the 2011 season, there are still plenty of holes to fill. And along with those holes, come plenty of rumors. Here are a few we’ve been hearing lately. Expect Kevin Harvick Inc. to add a second Nationwide car to their team next season. While we haven’t [...]
New Faces Making Truck Series Interesting
July 15th, 2010 T.C. Over the last several seasons, the Camping World Truck Series has been dominated by the old guard. Names like Ron Hornaday, Johnny Benson, Todd Bodine, Ted Musgrave, and Bobby Hamilton have been inscribed on the championship trophy at years end. This season however, the landscape of the Truck Series may be changing. I want to [...]
Why Not Try a Lower Series?
October 15th, 2009 Journo As NASCAR has struggled through the last year, and teams have closed up shop leaving drivers without a ride, I had to ask myself why more out of work drivers didn’t make the jump to a lower series? At the risk of alienating people, I’ll refrain from specifically naming any drivers I think could stand [...]

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 [...]
An Open Letter to Wayne Auton
September 17th, 2009 Journo Dear Wayne, What a year we’ve had! The battles, the triumphs and the moments of defeat; it’s been a good season so far. Especially last week. Did you see that race? I guess you did. Anyway I should tell you, I’m a big fan of the truck series. In fact it may even be my [...]
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. We’ve said it several times here on this blog, but these guys put on probably the best show, week in [...]

November 13th, 2008 Journo Three points. That’s all that separates Johnny Benson and Ron Hornaday in their quest for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series title. After pulling out a squeaker against Mike Skinner in the championship fight last season, Ron Hornaday Jr. goes into this weekend at Homestead in the number two position. With six wins this season the three time [...]
