Midway through the 2004 season DEI signed Paul Menard to drive a Busch Series car with the eventual hope to move to Cup. At age 23 he was a promising stock car driver that had already won two races on the Grand Am tour. The fact that he also provided sponsorship by way of his [...]

Richard Childress Racing announced Friday that Casey Mears will drive the #07 car in 2009 while Clint Bowyer moves to the #33 and new sponsor Betty Crocker (fingers crossed for a better paint scheme than Hamburger Helper).
While merchandisers and diecast makers can now begin production for 2009, there is one very large issue still lingering.
What [...]

I’m not sure which of the following is more impressive. Kyle Busch winning the Talladega race, or Juan Pablo Montoya finishing second. Perhaps it depends upon how much you love/hate Kyle, or how much you welcome/despise open wheel drivers now racing in NASCAR. Me, I fall into the former groups on both of those [...]

Mid-January I was thick in the middle of a series of posts counting down the final 50 days to the Daytona 500.

Stewart said. “They (Goodyear) exited out of Formula One. They exited out of IRL. They exited out of World of Outlaws and there is a reason for that. Goodyear can’t [...]

So I’m kicking back with my feet up on the couch for a little relaxation after getting the kids fed. I decided I’d go ahead and make some free disk space in my TiVo box in order to have room for all the races and race shows this weekend. I then decided that I’d watch [...]

Team Red Bull may be installing an ejection seat in the #84 Red Bull Toyota as they’re about to give the driver wings. A report off the Associated Press is posted on Fox Sports which states that Red Bull is considering relieving A.J. Allmendinger temporarily of his driving duties in an effort to determine what [...]

I’ve got the answer.
I know why Tony Stewart has been so good-natured the past couple of weeks.
You know what I’m talking about. The Tony Stewart that gave us this quote after missing the Chase For The Nextel Cup.
“It takes 26 weeks to get to this point. We just missed it tonight. We couldn’t get it [...]
