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
Reversible lanes divide Phoenix Council Members
In a previous blog entry, it was noted that Phoenix Council Member Tom Simplot wants Phoenix’s reversible lanes on 7th Avenue and 7th Street to be removed (Council Member Michael Nowakowski also supports this view). Two other Council Members have taken the opposite position, and their rationale is highlighted below. The Arizona Republic ran the following article written by Council Members Greg Stanton and Maria Baier. The Phoenix City Council will be discussing and possibly voting on the re

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

September 11 - 7 Years Not Forgotten
On September 11, 2001 life in the United States changed forever. On that day 19 cowardly sons of Allah hijacked 4 US airliners. American flight 11 and United Airlines flight 175 were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York city. American Airlines flight 77 struck the Pentagon. The 4th airliner, United 93 was either bound for the US Capital or the White House but was forced to crash outside of Shanksville, PA when passengers of that flight attempted to regain control of

All season long, fans have been watching Steve Byrnes and the NASCAR Media Group producers try to get a handle on the new This Week In NASCAR TV series. Despite the best efforts of the entire gang, things took a while to gel. The new program teams Byrnes with Michael Waltrip on a regular basis. The third member of the panel is either Greg Biffle or Chad Knaus. This system has been working-out well for SPEED as Biffle and Knaus split their time in the second chair. We all know that Michael Wa
the watkins glen craptacular spectacular
For some reason it has been so hard to write this post today. I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out what I want to say about yesterday’s Sprint Cup Series race at Watkins Glen. I was confused by Tony Eury Jr.’s decision to leave Dale Earnhardt Jr. out on the track long after everyone else had already pitted. And then I was even more confused when I watched NASCAR Now hours after the race ended to find Dale Jr. sitting down giving an interview looking all worn out and sounding all l
Road Racing at the Glen…my Post-Glen Post.
Road Racing at the Glen…my Post-Glen Post. All week the media hyped today’s race at the Glen to be a race where Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon were favorites. One had a considerably better day than the other. But here I go again getting ahead of myself. Lets start with my new Watkin’s Glen fun fact…pointed out first by NASCAR INSIDER and then mentioned again during the pre-show. As you know I am fascinated by the ballet of service performed during pit stops…I have mentioned this several time

A tough transition
ESPN.com, the source for all things Brett Favre, has a nice NASCAR section and ace motorsports reporter Marty Smith has written a nice piece about Red Bull Racing's AJ Allmendinger. Smith's story got me to wondering just how well the former open-wheel and sports car drivers now in NASCAR are faring. Here's a simple rundown: Juan Pablo Montoya, No. 42 Dodge 2008 stats: 23.7 average finish (21 starts), 2 top-10 finishes (Best finish: 2nd at Talladega) 2007 stats: 22.7 average finish (36 starts),

NASCAR Goddess of Fortune Stands by Her Man (Tonight)
For all the great driving, great teams and great cars out there this year, there is only one who has all that AND great luck — Kyle Busch. And that is why he’s kicking everyone’s keister this year. More than anything else, luck — the only quality no driver can master, purchase, nor even sufficiently woo — has determined the fate of the 2008 NASCAR season. Winnie, the NASCAR Goddess of Fortune, is one hot and fickle lady; she deals it out how she sees ‘em - a view which is inscrutable to the r
