The checkered flag waves on the 2009 season Sunday at Homestead- Miami. History will be made as either Jimmie Johnson will become the first NASCAR Cup driver to win four championships in a row, or Mark Martin will become the oldest NASCAR Sprint Cup champion at age 50.

What do Fireball Roberts, Davey Allison, Junior Johnson , Tim Richmond and Mark Martin have in common? Besides being numbered among the all-time greats- none of them ever won a NASCAR Cup title.
All things being equal, it appears as though Martin will finish as runner-up in the final ...

His statistics aren’t what a racing fan would consider stellar, and his time in the cup series was short compared to today’s standards. However, Don Tarr is perhaps one of the most unique individuals to grace the pavement in NASCAR’s premier series. Born May ...

Is it Speed Weeks yet? The thought that this season is ending is bittersweet. I’m game for a race- anyplace, anytime. By the same token, it will be good to put this one in the books, catch a break, and then gear up for a fresh start in 2010.

Bobby Allison leaned forward and looked to his left . I couldn’t hear his voice but I could tell by his lips and the expression on his face that he was trying to communicate “what?”
Judy sat on a row of chairs about six seats away from her husband. She mouthed something back to Bobby that ...

2009 has had its share of surprises . I never would have figured Carl Edwards for being winless, I didn’t see Kyle Busch missing the Chase, and I didn’t dare dream Mark Martin would make the run that he did.
On the other hand, some things were no shock at all . Though I’ve waffled more times ...

Those of you who read this column regularly know I am not a Jimmie Johnson apologist. It has nothing to do with Rick Hendrick (I name his other three drivers among my favorites), it has nothing to do with him being a Californian (I am one myself), and it has nothing to with any belief on my ...

After a week of high speed stakes at Texas , NASCAR’s returns to the “big short track”, Phoenix International Raceway. With what went down last Sunday, there’s a little more intrigue involved in this race as Mark Martin and maybe even Jeff Gordon work to catch points leader Jimmie Johnson.

Well, well, well, looks like Caleb Hannan has his 15 minutes of fame . In case you’ve missed it, Hannan thought he’d have a little fun at NASCAR Nation’s expense with a little piece on the Seattle Weekly entitled “Attention Starbucks: NASCAR Fans Might Not Be In Your Target Market.”

For being a reigning champion, Jimmie Johnson sure takes a lot of grief. When I pick apart what I’ve read fans say about him, I’ve concluded that it’s really not Jimmie that they hate.
Speaking for myself, it does get a little old watching one guy stink up the show. I wonder how old ...

A special thanks to all our Veterans. These are the TRUE HEROES. I especially want to pay homage to my step-dad, David B. Pittock, who served in the Army in Vietnam, my father-in-law Fred D. Douma, who served as an Army medic in Vietnam, and I also dedicate this post to my father, James H. Mc ...

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has endured its share of critical reviews lately. The 2009 season seems to have brought more negative comments from fans then I have ever heard. Some were justified and some not. I agreed with some and some not. But I thought the 500-mile race from Fort Worth Texas ...

Leave it to Eddie Gossage - one part Humpy Wheeler, one part Bruton Smith and three parts P.T. Barnum. He had “The Fat Lady” singing after Sunday’s race. Thing is, the outcome left the stunt singing a flat note.

You know there’s a reason why races are run on track and not paper. Two story lines took major hits as Kurt won the battle of the Busch brothers over Kyle, and Jimmie Johnson watched his lead get sliced by more than half in the Dickie’s 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.

When you think Texas, you think cowboy hats , boots, Longhorns and shotguns. When you think Texas Motor Speedway, it’s about horses and having enough of them to win.

If you were like me, you were so miffed you didn’t even look real hard at the results from the race at Talledega. Behind Jamie Mc Murray was the familiar face of Kasey Kahne, but the finish got real funky after that. With the likes of Joey Logano, Jeff Burton, Michael Waltrip, Brad ...

Some of my favorite finishes have come at restrictor plate tracks . I won’t soon forget Kevin Harvick overtaking Mark Martin at the 2007 Daytona 500. I also enjoyed Bobby Labonte overtaking Tony Stewart in the Busch Series race at Talladega (sorry, Smoke). Or what about Jamie ...

The true tragedy of the 2009 Amp Energy 500 is that winner Jamie Mc Murray will be an afterthought. It’s a shame, because I submit that Jamie Mac is the classic example of the driver who’s often done all the right things, only to get caught up in someone else’s mess, or ...
