How Do You Know Your Ready For The 2010 NASCAR Season
Submitted by RACING NEWS DIGEST
I am ready and obviously missing NASCAR.
Last week I ran to McDonald’s real quick for an early breakfast. I chose to go inside and get it to go instead of hitting the drive-thru.

Why Is Mark Martin The 2009 Sentimental Favorite? Why Not Stewart?
Submitted by RACING NEWS DIGEST
I keep hearing that Mark Martin is this years sentimental favorite for winning the 2009 Sprint Cup Championship.
While I kind of understand the point, I think it has really been overplayed. Martin has been around forever and has never won a championship and many think he is deserving and over due [...]

Auto racing beware the rabbits
Written by Black Entertainment USA
Way back in 2007 I made an observation about NASCAR, and the whole of auto racing. I mentioned that I was surprised that the “global warming” eco-freaks had yet to protest or address auto racing in any way. In fact I made a prediction

Will Sports Illustrated Finally Give Jimmie a Cover?
Submitted by NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog
As I have documented in the past (here and here) Sports Illustrated hasn’t necessarily given Jimmie Johnson his due, let’s hope they can finally give the man the cover he so rightly deserves.

Wow.
I mean WOW!

Atlanta Is ‘Fast-lanta’ For Johnson and Crew
Submitted by NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog
Jimmie Johnson finishes second and people are talking more about him than race winner Carl Edwards.
Why? Because Jimmie came in under the last caution, got 4 new tires, went back out and passed everyone in front of him like Dale Earnhardt at Talladega in Oct. 2000. Only Jimmie finished [...]

Missing That Kodak Moment Already

Kodak is pulling out of NASCAR for good and is concentrating their maketing dollars in Pro Golf to capture more of the overseas market.
