What are Brian Vickers' options?by Amanda posted on Jan 6th 2012 at 6:06am.

With the impending demise of Red Bull Racing's NASCAR program, Brian Vickers repeatedly stated that he "had options" as the 2011 race season drew to a close. At this point, I'm wondering, exactly what are/were those options?

Busch brothers banquet snubbed in own hometownby Amanda posted on Dec 2nd 2011 at 9:09am.

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.

Just how stable is Busch's future with JGR?by Amanda posted on Nov 11th 2011 at 9:09am.

The fallout continues to mount for Kyle Busch and Joe Gibbs Racing since Kyle Busch decided at Texas Motors Speedway last Friday that it would be a good idea to wreck then-championship contender Ron Hornaday during a caution in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race.

Chase battle turns into two-man grudge matchby Amanda posted on Nov 8th 2011 at 3:15pm.

Sure, there are technically nine drivers with a mathematical shot at this year’s Sprint Cup with only two races remaining, -- Sunday’s showdown at the newly-repaved Phoenix International Raceway and the season-finale a week later at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

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.

Roush in championship driver's seatby Amanda posted on Oct 26th 2011 at 11:11am.

When it comes to NASCAR dynasties among teams consistently competing for championships the past few decades, pretty much the only two teams that come to mind -- championship-wise -- are Hendrick Motorsports with its 10 Sprint Cup crowns and Richard Childress Racing with six, with all for both teams earned since the mid-1980s.

Are Johnson's title hopes cursed by SI cover?by Amanda posted on Oct 25th 2011 at 9:09am.

Generally, getting you face plastered on the cover of a magazine is a good thing, that is unless that magazine is a tabloid. But I’m not talking about the tabloids or the typical “supermarket rag” here. I’m talking about reputable magazines. The one exception to that “it’s cool to be on the cover rule,” though, at least for some, is Sports Illustrated.

Johnson's shot at 2011 title 'too close to call'by Amanda posted on Oct 20th 2011 at 9:09am.

So, is Jimmie Johnson’s run of championships -- at least consecutive ones -- done? In political terms, I’m declaring this one “too close to call.” After Johnson’s rather poor start -- by Johnson standards -- to the 2011 Chase for the Sprint Cup, his rebound win and then slip a week ago, there seem to be two schools of thought, one being, “yep, stick a fork in him. He’s done” and... Read More

NASCAR, country music go way backby Amanda posted on Oct 14th 2011 at 11:11am.

Apparently, NASCAR drivers are popular with the country music crowd. Of course, the two groups have intermingled several times, and sometimes people try to test both waters.

Race honoree's experience puts life in perspectiveby Amanda posted on Oct 14th 2011 at 10:10am.

Charlotte may provide Chase spoilageby Amanda posted on Oct 12th 2011 at 4:16pm.

The 10-race stretch that is NASCAR’s “postseason,” or Chase for the Sprint Cup, is typically dominated by the 12-drivers in the Chase who are vying for the series championship. That makes sense. After all, when the system works perfectly, aren’t the 12 drivers competing for the title supposed to be the 12 best drivers on the circuit?

Sorenson firing raises questionsby Amanda posted on Oct 5th 2011 at 9:09am.

On Tuesday, NASCAR Nationwide Series regular, Reed Sorenson revealed publicly that he had been fired from Turner Motorsports. On the same day, Turner Motorsports sent out a press release stating that Brian Vickers would be in its No. 32 Nationwide Series car -- the one that has been driven primarily by Sorenson this season -- for Saturday’s Kansas Lottery 300 NNS event at Kansas Speedway and in...

Some count Johnson out too soonby Amanda posted on Oct 4th 2011 at 8:08am.

Whether or not his fellow 2011 NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup competitors thought this was finally the season for “somebody other than Johnson” is unknown, but there were several people who seemed to figuratively “stick a fork” in Johnson following the first two races of this year’s Chase, saying that he was “done” -- that his chances of a sixth-consecutive championship title was...

Past trends show Harvick in ideal positionby Amanda posted on Sep 29th 2011 at 2:14pm.

At first glance, Tony Stewart may seem to be in the ideal spot, championship-wise. After all, he’s the points leader, two races into the 2011 Chase for the Sprit Cup. Where better to be than first? If past statistics are any indication, second is actually the place to be at this point in time. Kevin Harvick is currently in that position, seven points behind Stewart.

Chase like a 2011 'do over' for Stewartby Amanda posted on Sep 29th 2011 at 11:11am.

The onset of the 2011 Chase for the Sprint Cup must have been some kind of push on a reset button for Tony Stewart and the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing team. Heading into the Chase, Stewart was winless on the season through the first 26 races and just barely squeaked into the Chase.

Keselowski making case for serious title considerationby Amanda posted on Sep 27th 2011 at 10:10am.

Before the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season got underway, Brad Keselowski wasn’t even seen as a blip on most radars when it came to preseason championship predictions. He wasn’t even listed by hardly anyone as one of 12 drivers expected to be in the Chase.

Early in the season, it appeared there was good reason to not even give Keselowski a second though when it came to Chase... Read More

Drivers near the bottom not out yetby Amanda posted on Sep 23rd 2011 at 11:11am.

Prior to the start of the Chase for the Sprint Cup last weekend at Chicagoland Speedway -- well, really prior to the start of the 2011 season -- talk was that, with the new points system, bad finishes in the Chase would be more detrimental to championship hopes than every before. That may not be the case after all. Or at least several drivers are probably hoping that maybe they were wrong,... Read More

A closer look at NASCAR's E15 ethanolby Amanda posted on Sep 23rd 2011 at 10:10am.

Earlier this week, NASCAR announced that more than a million miles have been completed across its three national series – Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck – since the move to E15 fuel to start the 2011 race season. Specifically, according to the announcement, the three series have combined to complete approximately 1.3 million miles in practice, qualifying and racing. To read... Read More

Team orders probably more common than we thinkby Amanda posted on Sep 20th 2011 at 10:10am.

At times throughout motorsports history, the topic of team orders has come up and been debated. The nature of motorsports -- a sport in which teammates are put into the situation of competing against each other while also competing against other teams -- lends itself to such a debate as to what is acceptable and what’s not and what is simply bad sportsmanship when it comes to intentionally...

Should big deal be made of declined White House invites?by Amanda posted on Sep 6th 2011 at 6:06am.

Over the last week or so, NASCAR has broken into the realm of political news and not in a good way. Four drivers have caught public heat recently for declining an invitation to the White House from President Barack Obama. Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart have caught flack for turning down the invitation, citing prior commitments. Kurt Busch was said to be a fifth driver... Read More
