This was a tough weekend for Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the #88 team. For the second time this season they came just short of a win; oddly enough, to the same guy – Kevin Harvick. On top of that, the conspiracy mill was in full force this week over the caution that didn’t get called [...]

Don’t Feel Too Bad For Dale Jr.

Journo Assessing The Hendrick Crew Chief Swap (So Far)
April 14th, 2011 Journo Seven races into the season and all those questions we got in the off-season are starting to be answered, namely what off-season changes have worked, and in some cases haven’t so far in 2011. One of the biggest changes that came after Homestead last season (and the topic for this particular follow up) was the crew [...]
Danica At California: Fluke or Progress?
October 11th, 2010 T.C. Now that the IndyCar season is in the books, Danica has turned her full attention to the Nationwide Series. Her start last Saturday at California kicked off a stretch run that will see her compete in every NNS race to finish out 2010. Coming into Fontana, Danica hadn’t done much outside of running in the [...]

14 Comments »Wait, JR Motorsports Wants to Run The #7 Full-Time?
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 [...]
Kudos To Danica, But I’m Not Sold Yet
February 7th, 2010 T.C. As the Danica Patrick bandwagon steams toward the Daytona Nationwide Series race next weekend, don’t worry about saving me a seat just yet. Finishing sixth in her first ever stock car event is commendable, but I think it’s a bit early to crown her the next big thing. In case you missed it, Patrick recovered [...]
Ask The Insiders Wednesday #26
June 3rd, 2009 T.C. The big three NASCAR series all shared the same track this last weekend in Dover, but they all split up this weekend. The Truck Series is in Texas, the Nationwide cars take to Nashville, and the Cup cars head to Pocono. But before the weekend kicks off, it’s question and answer time! If you don’t [...]

May 28th, 2009 T.C. While I was involved in about 20 separate conversations today on Twitter, all about Danica Patrick and all at the same time, this post idea came to me. The topic of Danica moving to NASCAR has picked up speed over the last few weeks, and everyone is throwing their two cents in (we wrote about it [...]
Dale Jr. And The Top-35: Notes From Bristol
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? [...]
