Remember that time Bobby Ginn was part of the Childress ownership group? And Chip Ganassi was a partner in that back marker Nationwide Team? Or how about when Jim Harris become a partial owner up at the now-defunct Randy Moss Motorsports? Yeah, not too memorable, right? Every year around this time the screaming begins about [...]

12 Comments »Plate Racing Is The Great Equalizer
April 20th, 2011 T.C. Love it or hate it, restrictor plate racing has created some ridiculously close finishes over the years. This last weekend at Talladega was just another example. Why? Because choking off the engines levels the playing field. Squeezing a restrictor plate in between the carburetor and intake has certainly slowed the cars down, but in the [...]
Cali Crucial For Teams Wanting Locked In Spots
March 23rd, 2011 T.C. As we get set to make our lone trip to California this season, we’ve got quite a battle going on at the top of the standings. Currently Kurt Busch owns the driver points lead, but by only a single point over Carl Edwards. But there is another battle raging in the points, and the stakes [...]
A Couple of Interesting Things Happened This Weekend
February 27th, 2011 Journo Did you notice the short field in the Nationwide Series this weekend? Certainly not a great indicator of health of the sport. But then did you notice the fields in the Cup and especially the Truck Series? Those should make us all feel a little better. Consider this: there were 40 cars on the Nationwide [...]

November 22nd, 2009 Journo For those of you who follow us on Twitter, you know every Monday we do a ‘best and worst’ of the weekend tweet. With the 2009 season now in the bag, we thought it might be fun to bring it over to the blog and ask you to do your best and worst of the [...]
NASCAR’s Perception Problem
June 1st, 2009 Journo I think I should probably just start a problem series. I have been writing about it a lot lately. But I digress… At the beginning of the season many in the media would have had you believing the world was crashing in on us. They were predicting empty race tracks, fleeing sponsors and failing teams. [...]

May 25th, 2009 T.C. At the start of 2009, the outlook for NASCAR and its teams was bleak. The economy was tanking and people were talking about the possibility of less then 43 cars showing up at California and beyond. Then a funny thing happened. Where team contraction and minimal sponsorship had created holes in entry lists, some folks [...]

March 24th, 2009 Journo So I know I am probably a day late and dollar short on this one, but I figured I would throw my two cents into the Dale Earnhardt Jr./Tony Eury Jr. discussion. We are often asked about our thoughts on this driver crew chief pairing. Does it work? Why do they have so much trouble? [...]
On The Bubble
March 19th, 2009 Journo This weekend’s race at Bristol is the last chance for Cup Series teams to make their way into the top-35 in owner’s points before the points are reset. I thought it might be interesting to take a look at who may not be locked in. The list below shows teams 30-40; conceivably teams from outside [...]
Start And Park Teams Aren’t Ruining NASCAR
March 16th, 2009 Journo Are you getting sick of the start and park discussion? If you said yes then I’m on board with you. But before we call it quits I figured I would write one more post about it. Last August TC wrote a post on the matter; at the time it was something not too many people [...]
