I’m starting to feel like a broken record, but another week, and Jeremy Mayfield leads the headlines. On Wednesday, United States District Court Judge Graham Mullen granted Mayfield a temporary injunction allowing him to return to NASCAR racing. Mayfield has been suspended since he failed ...

When U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen issued a temporary injunction against NASCAR’s suspension of Jeremy Mayfield yesterday I have to say I was among those who were surprised. Like many people I thought this part of the lawsuit would come and go without any major story. I was ...

So unless you live under a rock (which I’m guessing you don’t, because you are reading this blog post), you know that Joey Logano picked up his first Cup Series win last Sunday at New Hampshire. The #20 Toyota was certainly not the best car and Logano actually got two lucky dogs ...

I’m going to let you in on a NASCAR secret: rumors run rampant in this sport. I know this is hard to believe, so take some time if you need it. From the garage to the media center to the shop floor, rumors sprout up like kudzu in a ditch and their often just as hard to contain.
Just to ...

There was a small-ish story line from this weekend that most of the media ignored, but that some of the fans certainly noticed. When qualifying was rained out for the Cup cars on Friday, the #64 Gunselman Motorsports car (to be driven by Mike Wallace) withdrew for unspecified reasons. They ...

Despite the emergence of several rumors last weekend, this week was slow on the news front. Richard Petty discussed earlier this week his team’s interest in exploring other manufacturer options for 2010. They have lost funding as a result of cut backs by Chrysler. In other news Jeremy ...

I love racing. And when I say that, I mean I LOVE racing. There aren’t too many things that make me as happy as I am when I’m at the track. I look forward all week to the weekends and getting back to competition. And I know how lucky I am to be able to do something I truly ...

racing to discover (thanks to the Internet) what many

Jack Roush was a very happy man in Milwaukee. And who wouldn’t have been? Carl Edwards won the race and three of the top five were from his stable. What made it even better were the successes of Roush’s development drivers.
Throughout the garage Jack Roush is one of the very few ...

decide what I was going to write about I
couldn’t help but think of the almost daily bad news coming down on Jeremy Mayfield. Now I’m not going to talk about his guilt or innocence here. It is frankly ...

Since the Cup cars will be turning left AND right this week on the road course in Sonoma, I figured we’d take a strange turn of our own here to start out Ask The Insiders Wednesday. The much talked about “guyliner” question kicks off edition #28. If you don’t know what this ...

For quite some time I have been an advocate of NASCAR speaking with other “foreign” manufacturers about the possibility of them entering the sport. I was delighted this weekend to hear from Brian France that in fact the sport has been engaged, if even just preliminarily, in those ...

Over the last few weeks the emails and comments from our readers have taken a decidedly negative turn. We’ve certainly had more comments and emails then ever before, which is great, it just seems that many of you are very, very angry about NASCAR right now. And I don’t know if we ...

Just like any other sport on this planet, the basis of NASCAR is the people involved. The only real difference between NASCAR and other sports being the means in which the competition happens. In one, it’s guys chasing around a while ball trying to hit it the fewest times ...
