Mark Martin Does Not Win The Daytona 500

Mark Martin does not win the Daytona 500, but he almost does. In a questionable decision by Nascar not to throw a caution after a last lap crash, Kevin Harvick passed Mark Martin and won the Daytona 500. Mark Martin reacted in typical Mark Martin fashion, with absolute class. He said that […]

Michael Waltrip Cheating

Michael Waltrip, the jokester, Nascar’s funny guy got caught cheating this week. Well, not Mikey exactly, his team got caught cheating. They were caught with a fuel additive in the manifold of the 55 car during a qualifying inspection. NASCAR suspended Waltrip’s crew chief, David Hyder and his director of competition, Bobby […]

One Hour Before the Daytona 500

I have spent the last week reading in disbelief all of the nasty things going on in Nascar. I am going to make a seperate post for each individual driver, however, the first thing I wanted to talk about is the new points system.
The changes:

12 drivers in the chase - […]

Kasey Kahne makes the chase

Keasey Kahne is in, Tony Stewart is out. It’s only fair, he did win the most races this year he should be in the chase. It would have been nice for Tony Stewart to get in also, but I’m glad Kasey Kahne made it! Kevin Harvick passed Kyle Busch in the last […]

Kasey Kahne still in the chase

Jeff Gordon wrecks Matt Kenseth and wins the USG Sheetrock 400 at Chicagoland

With four laps left to go in the Sheetrock 400, Jeff Gordon hit Matt Kenseth from behind and spun him into the backstretch. Nascar’s response was basically that it was just hard racing and Kenseth was a slower car. I’m guessing what they are saying is he should have just let Jeff Gordon […]
