If you wait long enough anything can happen! This statement became truth after 300 starts in the Camping World Truck Series for team owner Billy Ballew as his trucks finished the Mountain Dew 250 one-two after a long and hard fought race on the pavement of Talledega raceway. Billy can finally scratch this wish off his list as Kyle Busch was able to pass Todd Bodine in a quarter-mile ending race and his team mate Aric Almirola added insult to injury by also passing Todd in the same stretch of track. This win is the sixth of the season for …read more

The drivers and teams got a look at the new Nationwide Series cars for next year Monday on the pavement of Talledega and based on first impressions of the drivers, teams and spectators, the 2010 Nationwide Series is going to be entertaining for all involved. NASCAR rolled out the new Dodge Challenger on Saturday, but Monday they rolled out the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Impala, and Toyota Camry, along with the Dodge Challenger for fans, drivers and teams to take a look at. This was the opportunity for Richard Childress Racing’s Jeff Burton, Kevin Harvick Inc’s Kevin Harvick, Kelly Bires of …read more

The Chase for NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series Championship is heading to the unfriendly confines of Talladega for the next race in the competition, today’s Amp Energy 500. Talladega is a fun track for the fans because it’s a smaller track where the drivers have less room to move around the track and the chances of crashing and banging on the track is absolute.
Jimmie Johnson started on the pole for this race, due to qualifying for the Amp Energy 500 being rained out on Saturday morning and his closest rival for the Sprint Cup Series Championship, Mark Martin, will start next …read more

2009 has been a busy year for racing and the fastest sports in the world are coming down to the wire in the case of NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series with Jimmie Johnson leading the Chase and looking good for his fourth straight Sprint Cup Series Championship. There are only a few races left and as long as Jimmie keeps his cool and his car running straight and fast, it’s going to be hard for his rivals for the Sprint Cup Series Championship to catch him. Kyle Bush leads in the Nationwide Series and looks to be good for the championship …read more

The rules and regulations put in place for the Nationwide Series are fair and the same for all and due to the passion of racing and the emotional state of humans during events that have a great significance in their lives and careers, NASCAR is constantly having to remind the drivers of the rules with a little fine or race penalty. NASCAR has been busy this week making sure the boys who have been bad during the past few weeks are reprimanded for their infractions and keeping order among the chaos.
This week NASCAR announced that two Nationwide Series teams have …read more

NASCAR’s Nationwide Series race, the Kroger On Track For The Cure 250, held at Memphis Motorsports Park on Saturday afternoon was a energetic affair that entertained the crowds and kept them on the edge of their seats as a fast and aggressive Brad Keselowski managed to keep his car in one piece throughout the bump and crash affair to take the win. Brad was able to keep his car running during at least three meetings with other cars during the race, the last one occurring with just a few laps remaining in the race.
Keselowski was able to leap into the …read more

Have you ever heard the expression that patience, perseverance and hard work will pay off in the end? We’ll these three virtues finally paid off for Timothy Peters after 64 futile starts in the Camping World Truck Series with his first victory in Saturday’s Kroger 200 held on .526-mile Martinsville Speedway. Peters qualified eleventh and it’s fitting that he drove to victory in the No. 1 Red Horse Racing Toyota in his first career win in the series and claimed his first grandfather clock trophy. He’s probably glad he switched from the No. 17 Tundra he drove during the first …read more

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season is a war that is won by the racer and team that has the most consistent finish in all of the included races. Points are awarded on a race to race basis for both teams and racers, which are the basis for the standings that determine the overall winner at the end of the Sprint Cup Series. Winning a race is nice but to win the overall you need to do more than just win a race or two, you also need to have a good showing in the races you don’t win. To …read more

NASCAR’s race for the Chase pulls onto the unfriendly, cramped and just difficult racing venue of Martinsville Speedway for Friday’s Tums Fast Relief 500, a .526-mile track that probably isn’t the favourite of many of the NASCAR competitors. Kurt Busch admitted recently that he has a love hate relationship going with this track and that he has had a less than successful time at Martinsville in the 18 races he has competed in during his ten year NASCAR career and it’s my guess there are probably a few other racers that don’t exactly feel confident coming to Martinsville.
Martinsville is one …read more
