One of the beauties of sports is the arguments.

Is player A better than player B?
Was it better back in the day or now?

It’s fun to argue and discuss, but for any argument it’s important to use the right context.
Raw numbers don’t work. You have to understand a number of other factors that affect the numbers.
Many [...]

No, it’s not what you think: there’s no way I’m going there. You should definitely vote (and if you don’t office linebacker Terry Tate will pummel you), but One Bad Wheel is not about to tell you how to vote.
Instead let’s talk about the popular notion that the Chase is broken and the only way [...]

Few would consider the weather to be party to a Hendrick conspiracy.
Of course trailblazer Darren Fauth believes otherwise:
“I saw a headline (I think over at ESPN) a few weeks ago about Mother Nature giving the Championship to Johnson. I mildly thought it interesting when I saw it. Of course being a ‘Johnson hater’ I was [...]

Sorry Jr. Nation, but Dale Earnhardt Jr is not the most popular and no amount of flooding the polls is going to change that fact!. His father wasn’t the most popular either. Neither is Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, nor even Bill Elliot or Richard Petty.

It didn’t make many headlines and I didn’t comment at the time, but the decision is a mistake.
Kvapil the Latest Casualty
Last Saturday’s Talladega qualifying reinforced why it’s such a blunder. Travis Kvapil was the surprise winner of the pole. Sure, Yates Racing has put [...]

On our local radio sports talk program, we talk a lot about NASCAR.
We spend several minutes each week analyzing Jeff Gordon’s performance in the most recent race, handicapping his chances for the next event, and trying to decide whether the four-time champion may be, in the complicated technical term listeners like to use, toast.

OneBadWheel.com is proud to introduce the OneBadWheel Fantasy NASCAR Forum to our fellow fantasy NASCAR junkies.
OneBadForum (as I like to call it) will serve as yet another avenue of information, stats, and opinions from it’s membership that may help fantasy NASCAR players succeed in their fantasy games. While the forum’s primary focus will revolve [...]

On Labor Day weekend, I went out and watched a race.
I was not alone. A huge crowd had come out to watch the guy currently ranked No. 1 in the standings do what he does best.
He is young, only 23 years old, but he has proven to be a shooting star in his sport. He [...]

I am still not sure if there is a whole connection between NASCAR racing in California and the color white.
But, this weekend we find Jimmie Johnson carrying the white “super hero” look banner in his spiffy and spanky white Jimmie Johnson Foundation firesuit.
I think someone needs to stand up in the next corporate meeting of [...]
