He was never higher than 28th on the leaderboard, and of the drivers that ran the entire race, Stewart had the seventh worst driver rating. It [...]

July 18th, 2011 Journo Sunday’s race at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, dominated by fuel mileage, mistakes, and both Stewart Haas cars continued what has been a season of parity and added another contender to the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Ryan Newman’s victory made him the 13th different winner after 19 races this season and gave him a [...]

May 2nd, 2011 T.C. If there is one thing you can always be sure of, it’s that no matter what changes with the cars and drivers, the short tracks will always provide a good show. Saturday night’s race at Richmond was no exception, and it gave us everything we’ve come to love about short track racing: beating and banging, [...]

February 15th, 2010 T.C. First, before I get into the meat of this post, I want to congratulate Jamie McMurray and his Earnhardt Ganassi crew. Jamie drove his butt off and the team did a heck of a job to bring home the 2010 Daytona 500. Now, after tonight’s race I got to thinking about what it means for the season to win [...]

December 20th, 2009 T.C. Following the 2008 season, Journo and myself wrote a series of posts that covered all the major teams in the Cup Series.

November 1st, 2009 T.C. It seems this season that no matter what NASCAR does in terms of competition, they get it wrong. Today’s race at Talladega was yet another example. During the pre-race drivers meeting, NASCAR informed the drivers that they would not tolerate overly aggressive driving and bump drafting in the corners. Violators would be penalized. The drivers [...]

April 6th, 2009 T.C. Well I did. Don’t believe me? Click here for a post I wrote last July about Stewart becoming half owner of then Haas CNC Racing. At the time, there was a lot of talk that Tony Stewart may never win another race, and that he may be ruining his career. I disagreed. I don’t think [...]
