http://www.thenascarinsiders.com/ - A blog by insiders for outsiders
This season has yielded some good surprises. Juan Pablo Montoya has had a break through season, earning a Chase berth; David Reutimann has had some strong runs and his first win; and at age 50 Mark Martin has proven age doesn’t need to be a factor. Another guy making moves, perhaps a ...

Since its inception in 2004 the Chase has been one of the more contentious issues among fans. I know many of you don’t like it. So I think it’s interesting every year to look at the standings as if we were still under the old points system.
This is something I did last year ( here ...

You may not realize it, but while the 2009 season still isn’t officially over yet, preparations for 2010 have already begun. One area that teams will spend the last few races working on, is changes to their pit crews.
To the untrained eye, it may appear to be business as usual for your ...

Following another run-in with Brad Keselowski during Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Phoenix, Dave Burns of ESPN asked Denny Hamlin if NASCAR needed to get involved. Hamlin responded: “No, no, I’ll take care of him. It’s no biggy. I got him.”

Just two races to go in the 2009 season and after a wild one last week at Texas, the championship chase has once again tightened up. After a couple of weeks of speculation and conversations Earnhardt Ganassi Racing decided to return with Chevrolet for the 2010 season. The organization ...

I get asked all the time by family and friends about the constant travel that is necessary to be apart of the sport we call NASCAR. People always want to know where I’m going and how we get there. It’s a topic I explored in a post I wrote last summer here at TNI called Flying the ...

You’re not happy when he’s winning. You’re not
happy when he’s finishing 38th, 129 laps down. What
do you want out of Jimmie Johnson? We should hash this out though, because he’s not going anywhere for a while? Over on ...

And then there were two.
Phoenix and Homestead are the only two remaining races before we put the 2009 season in the books. And I’ve got to say, I’m a little bummed.
This time of year is always a little bitter sweet for me. I know there are a ton of guys that look forward to ...

I know I’m a day late, I forgot to post this yesterday; sorry. A little late Silly Season business made news this week as the 2010 plans of Danica Patrick and Jamie McMurray came a little more into focus. ESPN reported early in the week that JR Motorsports was close to deal with the ...

This year has been a particularly brutal one for car counts in the Camping World Truck Series. While there usually is a full field, many teams choose to start and park. Looking at 2010 though things are looking up for the truck series.

The Nationwide COT…Looks Pretty Cool
It seems this season that no matter what NASCAR does in terms of competition, they get it wrong. Today’s race at Talladega was yet another example.
During the pre-race drivers meeting, NASCAR informed the drivers that they would not tolerate overly aggressive driving and bump drafting ...

Happy Halloween! Kyle Busch and his No. 18 team led the news this week as Joe Gibbs Racing announced they would replace crew chief Steve Addington. Dave Rogers, crew chief of the #20 Nationwide team, was named as his replacement. AJ Allmendinger and Michael Waltrip also made headlines for off ...

Talk about bad timing. On the day that rumors surface about Best Buy moving from Elliott Sadler’s #19 to the #43 with AJ Allmendinger for 2010, the news comes out regarding Allmendinger and a DWI charge . At the time of this post, AJ has since apologized in a statement and NASCAR has ...
