Today's Daytona 500 was a beautiful anomaly, a

In a NASCAR world where change comes seemingly
every day, it's good to know there are certain

Recently I've been hearing some rumblings among a
few of you who are kind enough to read
this blog that I've been focusing far too much on a single driver instead of covering the entire roster of participants in NASCAR. Nothing could be further ...

As mentioned yesterday , qualifying for the Daytona
500 is significant only if you land on the
front row. Everything else is a matter of seeing where you'll line up in which Gatorade Duel. Even then, for the top of the pops gang the Duel merely determines where you'll start in a race in which starting position is insignificant given the ability to rise or fall multiple spots on ...

One of the main focal points zeroed in
on whenever the Chase is brought up is how
