Earlier this year Amp Energy drink announced a special promotion that would enable fans to Ride With Dale Earnhardt Jr in the Amp Energy 500. The first 70,000 fans to register would have their names featured on the special No. 88 AMP Energy/National Guard Chevrolet “Ride with Dale Jr.” paint scheme. That special paint scheme [...]

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — It was probably one of the most spectacular finishes in NASCAR history.
Carl Edwards made a suicide run into the third turn underneath race leader Jimmie Johnson. He was determined to win.
Unfortunately, Edwards ran out of track before running into the wall, struggled to maintain control and watched Johnson go back by [...]

My momma always said, “Road course ringers are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” OK, so my momma doesn’t really know much of anything about racing, much less road course ringers. But the part about a box of chocolates and not knowing what you’re gonna get is so [...]

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 [...]

As I pointed out in my Ranking the Chumps article for the Aarons 499 at Talladega, Kyle Busch wasn’t supposed to win [...]

I think there are about 40 NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers who better be glad Carl Edwards wasn’t wearing cowboy boots when he kicked their butts this past weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway. Kyle Busch made the claim that Carl wasn’t showing his hand, meaning that he felt Carl had a lot more car [...]

I don’t know how you watch most NASCAR races, but I seldom watch them live. Instead, I’ll usually wait until maybe an hour past the drop of the green flag before I’ll start watching. I have TiVo (one of the greatest bits of technology to grace my home) set to record all races 1-1/2 hours [...]

A little late, but ready for consumption are the results from both sessions of preseason testing for the boys of the NASCAR Nextel Cup.
I created these pages new, that’s why I’m a tad behind. They’re a little hidden away, but you can easily get to the NASCAR Daytona preseason testing results here.
I’ve made them sortable [...]
