Re-Run
Submitted by NASCAR Eclectic
This is an image of what the vast majority of NASCAR fans dream of. I’m not a Johnson hater but I too am discouraged. I actually believe that NASCAR’s TV ratings will fall even more if Johnson continues to win races. I read many forums last night after the race and fans [...]
What Have You Done For Me Lately?
Submitted by The Motorsports Soapbox
Stock car racing has always been a “what have you done for me lately” kind of sport. When you work in the NASCAR garage, you’re only as good as your last finish – or even your last pit stop — and job security is something only a fortunate few enjoy.

Ryan Newman 2010 Auto Club Speedway Preview
Submitted by Ryan Newman News and Information
Ryan Newman never thought he’d call California “home.”
Admittedly, it’s a bit of a stretch for the Indiana native, who would rather be chopping wood or casting a fishing pole on a pond instead of crunching numbers on a computer or sitting in an endless line of traffic. Picturing himself [...]

The 52nd running of the Daytona 500 had it all. Good racing, 2 intermissions (as they repaired the “hole”), night racing under the lights (repairing the “hole” took quite a while), green/white/checkered finish….twice as NASCAR has the new rule implemented where they will do everything possible (three attempts) to finish under [...]

RACE RECAP
This was really to bad. Newman was not doing great through out the race. He (and Tony Stewart) were not happy with thier cars. Generally Newman’s car was to tight, then I believe at the end he was actually to loose.
