World Jr Hockey Championships Soothes Those NASCAR Woes
Submitted by NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog
Now that Christmas/New Years has arrived the NASCAR fan is found wanting for their beloved sport. As Jerry over at Restrictor Plate This notes, “it is at times like these we could most use racing”. The ‘distraction’, as it were, of NASCAR would provide us with a bit of [...]

What NASCAR Needs To Fix - Part 2
Submitted by NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog
The Chase:
NASCAR needs to look at current situation with the Chase format it is using right now. By instituting changes in the Chase format for this past racing season NASCAR is admitting that, although they like the concept of The Chase, it needs to be fixed. I agree. The [...]

Submitted by NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog

What NASCAR Needs To Fix - Part 1
Submitted by NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog
In this series I’m going to point out 3 things that I feel NASCAR needs to fix before the 2008 season.
Part 1: Get Rid of The Top 35 Rule
The top 35 rule is destroying NASCAR. Fast cars are not making the show, and because of this rule other cars [...]

So Many Things To Say and Not Enough Time To Say Them
Submitted by NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog
So I’m going to do this in point form:
1) If TSN (Total Sports Network) is Canada’s leader in NASCAR coverage, and has the exclusive NASCAR broadcasting rights, then why the heck did they not televise the NASCAR Awards Banquet? Better yet, how come they didn’t broadcast the first ever [...]

Craftsman dropping sponsorship of NASCAR truck series…
Sears Craftsman dropping the Truck Series??
I stumbled across this article in my Google reader. It’s the only article I could find, but it seems to hold merit.
Sears probably ran out of advertising revenue after the $11 Billion {yes that’s a B} Kmart buyout.
So, one more year [...]
The NASCAR Awards a No-Show For Earnhardt Jr
Submitted by NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog
Well the awards show went off without too much of a hitch. In fact, according to other sources,it was almost too perfect. The reason why I say ‘other sources’ is because the awards show wasn’t televised in Canada - at least to my knowledge anyway, I couldn’t find it [...]
