I’m passing along these thoughts from our resident Stats Whiz, Steve, who writes the NASCAR predicted finishes column.
How must Mark Martin’s crew feel after he offered to hop in the 24’s ride if his friend Jeff Gordon had his first child? On the surface, Martin’s offer seemed generous and just what you would expect [...]

As NASCAR heads to the first road course of the 2007 season, we get the first influx of ‘Road Course Ringers’. I guess you could say they are the Cup version of ‘Buschwhackers’.
The main difference is that none of them have ever actually won a NASCAR Cup event road course race.

Had an interesting phone conversation with my older brother the other day.
