This is Michael Jordan twisting his ankle in the fourth quarter, Tiger Woods knocking himself in the head with his driver on the 17th hole. With only three races remaining in the Chase, Jimmie Johnson had his fourth straight Cup sewn up if he averaged a top-10 finish . All that would have to ...

Hey, guess who joins us today on The Chrome Horn? Two-time IRL champion Dario Franchitti ! You remember, the guy who came over for a cup of coffee in NASCAR! Dude who's married to Ashley Judd! He's a good guy, and he put up with our nonsense, including our leadoff Farley-esque "You're ...

the end of the season, and so it's time to begin our look back. In a

Hey everybody -- welcome back to Midnight Marbles, where you can chat

getting attacked by a vicious Eeyore; I'm surprised we didn't hear more about

Change is a-comin' to the Nationwide Series, and so far, everybody's pretty much happy with it. NASCAR is r olling out new Nationwide cars in the same way that the Car of Tomorrow became the de facto Sprint Cup car two years ago. Perhaps NASCAR learned a thing or two from watching the CoT in ...

Here's a nice little find from the 2007 Aaron's 499 driver's meeting. Pay close attention to what NASCAR prez Mike Helton said about bump-drafting back then: So the lesson, then, is simple. NASCAR's attitude toward its rules is like London's weather -- if you don't like it, wait a half hour ...

Wow, what else is there to be said? That sucked. From the candy-colored streamline parade to JJ's dumb luck, there wasn't much to relish. Yup, it sucked for a multitude of reasons, but the biggest may have to be the death of a unique race. RIP Talladega , welcome to the cookie cutter club. ...

There's a lot of anger and frustration floating around NASCAR these days. Jimmie Johnson 's dominance has robbed the Chase of any bit of drama, leading everyone who's not a fan of the 48 to rage at a system that hasn't produced a different champion in what will likely end up being half a ...
