As I sit here watching Speed and waiting for the Bristol Cup race to start I am reminded of the time I covered the race there in the spring of ‘06. In the days leading up to the race I had been keeping an eye on the weather for the area since my trip would [...]
The melee at the end of the Centurion Boats at the Glen last Sunday was one of the worst road course wrecks we’ve seen in a long time. Hardly ever do you see an incident at the Glen (or Sonoma) that results in so many mangled race cars. It’s very fortunate that none of the [...]
My family and I are very happy to be in North Carolina now. While my wife has found a good job here, I am still actively seeking employment in the NASCAR/Broadcasting industry. With the tight economy, I know a lot of companies are not hiring right now, and certainly some are downsizing (see Chip Ganassi [...]
I just read David Poole’s observations on thatsracin.com concerning road racing. He relates the fact that he gets criticized because he doesn’t like road course racing very much. I agree with him that NASCAR Racing has built its popularity on ovals and that NASCAR Sprint Cup Racing is far and away the most popular form [...]
It’s hard to believe we’ve been racing at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway for 15 years now. I remember the buzz surrounding that first tire test back in 1992. Several cars took to the track, including #28 Texaco/Havoline Ford of Davey Allison. Sadly, Davey would not get a chance to race at the Brickyard. Ernie [...]
My wife got the job in NC and we are currently looking for a place to live. We need to be in the area just East of Concord. It is so cool that I am going to be living near the hub of the the NASCAR world. I am currently looking for a job in [...]
With my part-time work at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame and a local radio station, my weekends are full. Usually I’m at work when the Cup race is run. I find myself wishing for rain delays, which would allow me to catch at least a portion of the race (I get off at 5 [...]
I have to applaud David Gilliland and the whole FreeCreditReport.com race team for Yates Racing. Starting 31st, the Cully Barraclough led team used great pit strategy and a good racecar to notch David Gilliland’s career best finish, a 2nd, in the Toyota/Save Mart 350.
“Our strategy was pretty good,” Gilliland explained. “We’ve done a lot of [...]
Wow! Kasey Kahne does it again! It sure looks like Gillette/Evernham Motorsports has found something as Kahne continues to excel in qualifying and in the races. He took the pole at Infineon Raceway yesterday and has been on an incredible roll since the All-Star weekend in Charlotte. Even his teammate, Elliott Sadler is showing improvement, [...]
I’ve decided to re-start my blog. Yes, I know this only is for my sake, but I’ve missed the opportunity to write about things that interest me. The main reason that I have not written in a while is …school! I returned to college in August 2007 to finish my undergrad work and it has [...]
