If you attend a NASCAR event in order to get a little peace and quiet, you’re in the wrong place.
A particularly appropriate phrase comes to mind, but another Southern writer has already coined it. I’m not quite egomaniacal enough to compare myself to William Faulkner, but I am just brave enough to blatantly “borrow” from [...]

Congratulations to Joe T. of Arizona! Joe participated in the Earn Your Darlington Stripe diecast giveaway contest by playing our free Champs, Chumps & Sleepers game. After joining the free fantasy game, all Joe needed to do was join the free contest league and then have his team of drivers earn him the [...]

Dale Earnhardt Jr. had a great showing in the Dodge Challenger 500 at Darlington Raceway. As I expected, he ran up front almost the entire race (365 of his 367 laps were ran inside the top 15). He also did just as I thought he would do when around Kyle Busch; he did [...]

After a racing incident between Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kyle Busch last week, Kyle has been the focus of much criticism from many fans who blame him for wrecking Dale Earnhardt Jr.. Many fans are split on whether Kyle purposefully took Jr. out or if it was “one of them racing deals.” [The correct [...]

We’ve all seen it happen on TV or heard it before on the radio. A young athlete makes an improbable game winning move in the last few seconds of the game. Or maybe the camera pans into the grandstands and stops on a bunch of teenagers or college student aged fans who have clearly [...]

I took Carl Belew and W.S. Stevenson’s song titled Stop the World (and let me off), and I tweaked it for Dale Earnhardt Jr.. It goes a little something like this:

I’m tired of going round and round
I’ve raced the last two years and lost
So stop the world [...]

For the second time this year Denny Hamlin looked to have a short track race wrapped up and in the bag. Just five races earlier the Cup series was at Bristol and Denny was leading on a green-white-checkered finish. When Hamlin’s car suffered a fuel pickup issue, the entire Richard Childress Racing team was there [...]

Our buddies over at On Pit Row got dibs on spending a few moments with Dan Lowry, the Richmond weekend Crown Royal King for a day.
As badly as I’d like the race to be called the “OneBadWheel 400″, it is not meant to be.
I’ve got a year to come up with a good Crown Royal [...]

I realize it’s just a garden variety team release, but when I saw the following headline pop up in my RSS reader, I couldn’t resist. For Vickers, the tracks may differ but momentum same.
It doesn’t matter to Vickers that the style of racing at Talladega differs greatly from every other Cup track except Daytona. He’s [...]

Nine days, and counting. That will bring us to May 10th and the running of the Dodge Challenger 500 at Darlington Raceway, also known as “The Lady in Black.” While I’ve not attended anywhere near the number of races that I’d like to have, I’m looking forward to this race more so than any other [...]
