Driver development has been a topic both myself and Journo have written about in the past here at TNI. We’ve talked about the business of driver development, talked about different drivers, and even offered up some advice to people coming up. The last time I wrote a post with some ...

Happy New Year! Just 42 days until the Daytona 500 and the after New Years rumors have already begun. Earlier in the week news surfaced that the on-again, off-again Petty Gillett Evernham merger appears to be on again, with the deal in its final stages. The news of the merger came just days ...
