The Best And Worst Of 2008

Commentary: Downsizing Difficult, But Necessary
These are trying times for those who work in the motorsports industry in Charlotte, North Carolina. NASCAR is downsizing, with new rounds of employee layoffs announced on a daily basis. And for the tens of thousands of people whose livelihood depends on the roar of racing engines, the monthly mortgage payment seems suddenly less secure. Furniture Row Racing announced recently that it will cut back to a part-time schedule next season, trimming its employee roster by roughly 25%. Wood Brothers
NASCAR’s Test Ban Not The Answer
With NASCAR announcing last Friday that they will ban all testing for the Cup, Nationwide, Truck, and both Regional Series (East & West) for 2009, you can be sure teams are hard at work trying to find a way around the ban. What the ban means, is that no team can test at any track that hosts a race for NASCAR’s top three series and the two regional series. NASCAR is hoping that the ban will save the teams money and in turn help improve the economic situation the sport currently finds itsel

However the tightest point’s battle is in the Truck Series with Johnny B
Kurt Busch finishes a close second at Phoenix
Dodge driver Kurt Busch made a few runs for the win but came up just short Sunday in the Checker O’Reilly 500 at Phoenix International Raceway. Jimmie Johnson won the race to all but clinch his third straight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship with one race remaining. Only Carl Edwards still has a chance for the title, but Johnson would have to finish in 36th or worst next week to lose the lead. Sunday’s race was Johnson’s thrid straight win at Phoenix. “We just got beat, and we got beat b
Trucks Create A Made-For-TV Final Chapter
When championship contender Ron Hornaday Jr. spun and was collected in the very first lap in Phoenix, it was possible that the story of the 2008 Truck Series was over. While Hornaday limped around PIR, his counterpart Johnny Benson merely had to keep his nose clean and collect all the points possible during the race. As veteran fans know, things in the Truck Series are rarely that simple. Benson himself was subsequently caught-up in an accident that resulted in hard contact with the retaining wa
What about merging the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the NASCAR Truck Series?
Even with the good addition of Camping World coming on-board as the title sponsor in the truck series for the next seven-years beginning in 2009 replacing the longtime series sponsor Craftsman, which had been the sole title sponsor since the inception of the NASCAR Truck Series in 1995, and the fact that the truck series has some of the best races all season long, is short, action packed and to the point, there is some huge problems in keeping the series as is right now. You have the manufactur
Bestwick Reminds TV Viewers The Chase Is Not Over
All season long on both the ESPN Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series TV coverage viewers have heard the same message from the Infield Pit Studio. The source of the message was host Allen Bestwick. His favorite expression is borrowed directly from Baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra. Bestwick says to anyone who will listen that "it's not over until it's over."In this case, it is not the Mets rallying to beat the Cubs back in 1973. What Bestwick has been trying to remind both NASCAR fans and the media
Handling issues hit Dodge NASCAR teams at Texas
The mile-and-half tracks on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series circuit have been called “handling tracks” since the introduction of the car of tomorrow (COT) last year. Sunday’s event at Texas Motor Speedway proved the point. Only 12 teams were able to get their cars to rotate or turn in the corners successfully throughout the race and carry momentum/speed down the straightaways. Those 12 cars finished on the lead lap in the Dickies 500. For the rest of the field, it was a three-and-a-half hour chal
Are Fans Burned-Out On NASCAR TV?
There has been a theme emerging during The Chase this season that we really did not see last year. Remember, 2007 was the first year of the current NASCAR TV contract and lots of the Sprint Cup Series television coverage was brand new.Now, as this season draws to a close, the ESPN and ABC portion of the Cup coverage has basically been a ratings disaster. Instead of building on the first year, fans have been heading other places and the ratings have been flat or declining. This kind of flies in t
What Doesn’t Kill Us Makes Us Stronger
A lot of people have been talking about the economy and its affects on NASCAR lately. We are certainly guilty, writing on everything from layoffs at the end of the season to poor at track attendance. While the current economic climate is not good, the difficult times could ultimately prove to be beneficial for the sport. For the last 10 to 15 years NASCAR has experienced massive (and unsustainable) growth on almost every level. Attendance skyrocketed (actually filling some of these massive fac
