Are Kurt Busch's antics hindering his career?by Amanda posted on May 16th at 8:08am.

I guess some people just never learn. Kurt Busch lost his high-profile ride in the No. 22 Dodge at Penske Racing at the end of last season, mostly due to his behavioral problems that ranged from berating his crew via in-race radio communication to an instance late last season in which he didn't handle himself well during an interview with an ESPN reporter.

He's done Talladega Nights. How about Stroker Ace?by Amanda posted on May 10th at 6:06am.

I realize we're now several days removed from Sunday's Aaron's 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, but sometimes my mind wanders and contemplates some of the most off-the wall things. For whatever reason, I was thinking about Kurt Busch and the No. 51 Phoenix Racing team's rendition of Ricky Bobby from the movie, "Talladega Nights."

Who cares who was leading on that restart at Richmond?by Amanda posted on May 1st at 11:11am.

When the checkered flag waved on the Capital City 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway on Saturday night, Kyle Busch claimed his first series race of 2012, but another story has stolen a significant amount of the spotlight from that accomplishment -- the somewhat controversial restart following a caution that came out with 89 laps to go.

When's the right time to repave a racetrack?by Amanda posted on Apr 25th 2012 at 2:14pm.

When a race track has been around for awhile, repavings are inevitable. Of course, the frequency of repaves vary depending on the climate in the area surrounding said race track and other factors. But fact of the matter is, sometimes race tracks need to be repaved.

Are some rides worth it?by Amanda posted on Mar 29th 2012 at 8:08am.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series owner/driver Robby Gordon announced recently that he has decided to scale back his NASCAR efforts. The reason he cited was poor performance as a result of not being able to obtain sufficient sponsorship backing to race competitively.

New Bristol vs. old Bristol: the debate continuesby Amanda posted on Mar 27th 2012 at 1:13pm.

Sure, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is a little more than a week removed from its first visit of the year to Bristol Motor Speedway, but one question still seems to be a major topic of discussion within the NASCAR community. Does Bristol need to be changed? Head of BMS parent company, Speedway Motorsports Inc., Bruton Smith, must think there are improvements to possibly be made, as he hinted in... Read More

Come Chase time, will probable Knaus suspension matter?by Amanda posted on Mar 14th 2012 at 2:14pm.

Can Jimmie Johnson overcome yet another Chad Knaus suspension? Of course, Chad Knaus, crew chief of the No. 48 car at Hendrick Motorsports driven by Johnson, hasn't yet served his latest NASCAR-mandated suspension, but it appears he may be soon.

Sprint Cup regulars not dominating Nationwide in 2012by Amanda posted on Mar 12th 2012 at 9:09am.

In recent years past, victory lanes in NASCAR Nationwide Series competition have been filled with Sprint Cup Series regulars. Usually, fans of the circuit would have to wait until a Nationwide stand-alone event to see a Nationwide Series regular, or at least a driver not usually competing on the Sprint Cup circuit, take the checkered flag and drive on to victory lane. And even then, a Nationwide... Read More

Grubb doing just fine with new driverby Amanda posted on Mar 8th 2012 at 3:15pm.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series crew chief Darian Grubb looks to be doing just fine without his championship driver of a year ago. Grubb lost his job at Stewart-Haas Racing at the end of 2011, pretty much as soon as he led his boss Tony Stewart to his third Sprint Cup Series title.

Who's going to drive a Dodge in 2013?by Amanda posted on Mar 1st 2012 at 2:14pm.

After the 2012 season takes the checkered flag at the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November, will Dodge fade away from the NASCAR landscape? It looks like that may be the case, as Ford Racing and Penske Racing jointly announced on Thursday that Penske will be making the return to Ford in 2013.

Danica actually teaching NASCAR veterans thing or twoby Amanda posted on Feb 28th 2012 at 10:10am.

Danica Patrick may be a rookie in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition, and not even a full-time competitor. She's somewhat of a media darling, garnering the lion's share of attention as the 2012 race season gets underway -- much to the ire of some race fans. But could this new face on the Sprint Cup Series scene have a thing or two to teach seasoned series veterans? It's possible.

When the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series circuit makes stops at various tracks around the country that drivers consider to be their home tracks, said drivers look at these visits as a homecoming of sorts, a chance to race in front of the "home crowd," a chance to make their hometown fans proud.

Early points systems a lesson in NASCAR mathby Amanda posted on Nov 15th 2011 at 2:14pm.

When NASCAR unveiled the current points system back in January, one of the reasons given for the change in points tallying was simply simplicity. A point per position. What could be simpler than that? Of course there is more to the new system than simply one point per position. Don’t forget those bonus points -- three points for a win, one point for a lap led and another point for leading the... Read More

World of racing sponsorship changingby Amanda posted on Nov 15th 2011 at 8:08am.

Recently, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series competitor, Ron Hornaday, revealed that he had found a ride for next year, as he had signed a letter-of-intent with someone, but didn’t reveal what team or in what series he’d be racing in next year. So it’s unclear whether or not he approached a team with a sponsor in his back pocket or he got a gig with an already-sponsored team.

Stewart was never that bad, was he?by Amanda posted on Nov 8th 2011 at 2:14pm.

Kyle Busch has, undoubtedly, replaced Tony Stewart as the bad boy of NASCAR. Not so many years ago, it was Stewart who had to go through an anger management program after several run-ins with the motorsports media -- run-ins that included damage to cameras and tape recorders (yes, some of us were still using tape recorders back then).

Mayfield shoots holes in his innocent stanceby Amanda posted on Nov 3rd 2011 at 9:09am.

Since his banishment from NASCAR 2009, Jeremy Mayfield has seemed to be -- and pardon my language here -- hell-bent on proving his innocence, that NASCAR was the bad guy here in this situation, that the sanctioning body’s drug testing methods were flawed, and he was an innocent victim, being unjustly crucified.

Chase battle a lesson in oppositesby Amanda posted on Nov 2nd 2011 at 3:15pm.

Sure, there are several drivers still in the running to be named 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, but, with three races to go, it looks like the title is going to be decided between two very different drivers -- current points leader Carl Edwards and the driver second in points, eight points behind Edwards, Tony Stewart.

Gordon: from kid to veteran making Cup start 650by Amanda posted on Oct 28th 2011 at 11:11am.

At the risk of making myself sound old, it doesn’t seem all that long ago that a young driver named Jeff Gordon emerged on the NASCAR Sprint (then-Winston) Cup Scene. The year was 1992 and one era was being ushered out as another was ushered in. At the season finale at Atlanta Motor Speedway that season, Richard Petty made his final start as a driver and Gordon made his first.
