NASCAR Accidents
I wonder how many people watch Nascar just for the accidents?
A little research into the top searches for Nascar reveals a large majority of searches revolve around Nascar crashes.
Since the Michael McDowell accident during qualifying last week at Texas Motor Speedway the traffic to view the video has been enormous. …
Nascar Crash - Texas Motor Speedway
Yesterday Sprint Cup rookie driver Michael McDowell crashed during qualifying. This has to be the hardest hit I think I have seen. Obviously Nascar has come a long way since the crash that killed Dale Earnahrdt in their efforts to make racing safer.
McDowell walked away without an injury.

NASCAR: Ranking the rookies
Looking at the rookie brigade in the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup NASCAR’s 2008 Sprint Cup rookie class shrank more rapidly than the global economy this year. What started as a medley of international open-wheel stars ended up as a two-step, with only Dale Earnhardt Inc.’s Regan Smith and Penske’s Sam Hornish Jr. racing full time as the season wound down. Here, Reid Spencer ranks the performances of the Raybestos Rookie of the Year candidates, which include all the drivers who started the se
No Depression in Heaven
I don’t usually use soundtracks for posts, but hey, it’s always worth doing something a little different sometimes, right? My friend Jack was, when I first met him, a devoted inhabitant of that space where black and white and poor and crazy meet in early American music. He introduced me to musicians like Ralph Stanley and the Blue Sky Boys, and showed me how they connected to people like Howlin’ Wolf and Mississippi Fred McDowell. It was with Jack that I first heard McDowell, and Robert Johnso
Sat Eye Candy: Bonnie Raitt lookin’ fine at 59 and sounding even sweeter Happy birthday, Ms. Bonnie Raitt! The bottleneck slide whiz emerged as a teenager in the eye of the ’60s blues revival, opening for the likes Mississippi Fred McDowell and Sippie Wallace, and singing with a voice that rang with decades of maturity despite her youth. She seemed to arrive almost fully formed, a lovely creature the blues had coughed up in order to seduce us with her 12-bar ways. Once she began making album
Snowy Owl Irruption
Snowy Owls are already being reported across Wisconsin; Ashland, Appleton, Horicon, Milwaukee, and Oshkosh. It looks like a veritable irruption is underway. This phenomenon is often correlated to a crash in northern rodent populations, driving these supremely beautiful Arctic visitors further south in pursuit of better hunting prospects. Be mindful that some of the owls that make it this far south can be in poor shape. In the spirit of good birding ethics, err on the side of caution by giving

Top Ten Most Important NASCAR Crashes Of All Time [Nascar]
Our friends at Popular Mechanics have put together a list of what they consider the top ten most influential crashes in NASCAR history, complete with video. These ten smash-ups were influential not in how they changed the course of a single race, but in how they got us to today's "Car of Tomorrow," a race car that is to "stock car" what the Republican Party is to "conservatives." That is to say, it's become nothing at all like a real for-sale car, and therefore not-at-all interesting to most ha
