2013, new cars, new rules....

31/01/2013 15:05

With the new cars now tested and the teams heading on out to Daytona there are still some unanswered questions in the minds of crew chiefs. No one has tested to the full extent what these new cars will do in the pack, the drafting is still a bit of a mistery, how they suck up to the cars in front...

24/10/2012 Talks are underway between Dominic Fougère ( Director General of the Grand Prix de Trois Rivières ) and NASCAR to bring the Nationwide series the 3R. The Nascar Canadian Tire Series has raced there for quite some time already and the track is an awesome place. The only...

Unknown future super stars on NASCAR.

When we sit and take a look at the future drivers of NASCAR we can quickly recognize some great young drivers. The likes of Cole Whitt, Chase Elliott, the Dillon brothers come to mind. These are the future stars on the Cup series without a doubt. Young kids with the financial backing to...

A.J. Allmendigner to.....

17/09/2012 13:24

First off, let me start by saying this: I'm happy A.J. is doing great, I'm happy A.J. still has a shot at racing and I hope to see him back at the top of NASCAR soon. That being said, some NASCAR news media are starting to report that A.J. MIGHT be going back to open wheel racing and that...

Reminding teams about rules made a change.

Remember when Brad Keselowski brought up the fact that some cars "looked funny" in the rear end department? It did not take long for NASCAR to pick up a couple of cars and do some extra inspecting. Two weeks later NASCAR came out and said " There is nothing illegal about the Hendrick cars."...

A driver's life!

13/09/2012 09:49

NASCAR fans are privy to a lot of information concerning their drivers and teams. This sport has the most approachable athletes by far. Between interviews and press releases, us fans are spoiled rotten. We get attached to our drivers and absorb every bit of information about them when it's given...

Let's cut to the chase....

11/09/2012 13:05

It's time to tighten those belts tight and stay focused on the last ten races of the season, the chase for the sprint Cup title! After 26 races we now know who our top 12 drivers are and based on that, it will be one heck of a chase. Most of the12 are past champions. Can Jimmie Johnson...

How bad have you got it?

11/09/2012 10:05

Historicly NASCAR fans have always been sponsor loyal, if your driver was Darrell Walltrip, you naturally purchased Tide, Dale Jr. you drink AMP or Jimmie Johnson, you shop at Lowes every chance you have but do you limit your loyalty to just your driver or go above and beyond? Really, how bad...

Turning left...

11/09/2012 09:24

For a number of years now I've had to deal with friends that have no idea what NASCAR is all about, asking why I watch cars turn left for three hours. All they can say is negative comments and laugh at the sport I love. What they don't seem to understand is that there is more to NASCAR than just...

Silly season, what's left? Plenty.....

10/09/2012 11:14

Now knowing that Joey will be driving the #22 and that Matt will be in the #20, what's left for drivers to "fight over"? Certainly not scraps! The #9 car of Marcus Ambrose is still free, Ambrose has yet to sign for 2013 and beyond. If Ambrose leaves, could Bayne fill in and finally get his...
