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.

Jeff Gordon Crash

Yesterday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Jeff Gordon had one of the hardest hits we have seen in some time. After bumping with Matt Kenseth, Gordon’s car spun to the inside of the track and hit at the one spot that is not protected by safer barriers. What really made …

Red Bull buys Berger’s stake in Toro Rosso, what does it mean ?

the medal system is going to happen next year. The whole reason for this is that Bernie is “fed up with people talking about no overtaking. The reason there’s no overtaking is nothing to do with the circuit or the people involved, it’s to do with the drivers not needing to overtake.” All the teams are happy and Ecclestone says and hopes this will be approved next time FIA meets. Now to the teams. Big changes in Toro Rosso. Gerhard Berger is not only no longer a co-owner (see the earlier post

Live on Type Delay: The O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 KM(Phoenix)

Pre-race thoughts: Dale Jr is sporting a nice beard. Although it is neatly trimmed, it doesn't seem to fit the Hendrick dress code. I wonder if Rick is going to make Junior hit the floor and give him fifty for appearing on television like that. Not to belittle Jimmie Johnson's racing skills--he is a very good driver--but why haven't we heard Carl Edwards say, "A monkey could win in that (#48) car?"I have a lot of respect for Jimmie Johnson, but what if he didn't have Chad Knaus as his crew chief

MIND MELD: Is Science Fiction Responsible for the Lack of Public Interest in Space Exploration?

It's not often that our real life science heroes utter disparaging remarks against science fiction. In fact, the opposite is usually true; science fiction is often cited as a source of inspiration and interest. Enter Buzz Aldrin, who caused a stir recently with some comments he made. To get a few more opinions, we asked the following of this week's panel: Q: Astronaut Buzz Aldrin said fantastic space science fiction shows and movies are partly responsible for the lack of interest in real-life s

Will NASCAR Fans Get Out the Vote for Kevin Martin?

I’ve been trying to catch up after a week-long cruise with my kids down in the Caribbean and as I was doing my best to sort through thousands of e-mails and articles in my RSS reader, I stopped and did a double-take when I saw some headlines from last week about how the Federal Communications Commission is spending $350,000 taxpayer dollars to sponsor a NASCAR team. For that money, NASCAR driver David Gilliland “has agreed to use his No. 38 car as a high-speed billboard promoting the February

A Beginner’s Guide to the Iron Dog

Three months after the race for the White House is decided, Todd Palin and teammate Scott Davis (pictured above) will join dozens of other competitors in Wasilla, Alaska, for the 25th running of the world’s longest and toughest snowmachine race.

The Jungle Bunny Circus

First, a few words on the latest flap caused by some relatively innocuous - for here - NASCAR commentary and rebuttal… thank you loyal readers of SOMM for your comments in response to the NAStards that popped by to attempt to obfuscate the issues I addressed in my initial commentary. It seems like it’s been awhile since enough outsiders stopped by to become practical examples to further illustrate the fundamental differences in perception and in worldview between many black people and many whit
