Just A Fan's View of Nascar Racing

From a NASCAR Fan’s View It’s time again for the Coca-Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. It has become something we do every Memorial day weekend and a time that we and NASCAR celebrate the fallen heroes and families of the military. A day of remembrance and appreciation of those that gave their all… Continue reading The 2023 Coca-Cola 600

From a NASCAR Fan’s View There’s a reason they call it the All-Star race and there’s a reason why it is so special. This year’s All-Star race is at a place NASCAR hasn’t visited in twenty-seven years. That place is North Wilkesboro Speedway, BUT, wait a minute… that’s stuff we all already know. The All-Star… Continue reading NASCAR All Stars Going For The Million

From a NASCAR Fan’s View Darlington… yeah, that’s one name for it. Another is, “The Lady In Black.” Another is, “The Track Too Tough To Tame,” and it is the track the Cup teams are going to “attack” today and I believe that is exactly what they are going to do; attack “The Track To… Continue reading Cup Teams Take It To the Lady In Black

From a NASCAR Fan’s View The NASCAR Cup teams take it to Kansas Speedway this weekend and there are a bunch of drivers that need a win or a very good finish in this race. Not so much to take away some of the stress of them trying to qualify for the playoffs but more… Continue reading Cup Teams Take It To Kansas Speedway  

From a NASCAR Fan’s View There’s a reason they call it the Monster. Contrary to what the name might conjure up in your mind, it’s not because it is a big track. It’s because it is a monster of a mile track and it treats most everyone the same. Without question it is one of,… Continue reading Taking On The Monster

From a NASCAR Fan’s View Once again the NASCAR Cup teams take it to Talladega. You know, the place they run door handle to door handle and bumper to bumper at close to 200 miles per hour for numerous laps around the just over two-and-a-half-mile oval. A place that often has one or more big… Continue reading Cup Teams Take It To Talladega

From a NASCAR Fan’s View Martinsville… a track fondly called “the paperclip” because of its shape with long straights and tight turns at both ends. It’s a track that is hard to pass on and demands consistency every lap. The pits are as challenging as the track and there is hardly much room to even… Continue reading Who Will Win This One At Martinsville?

From a NASCAR Fan’s View The old local radio advertisement I remember from years ago went something like this: “Saturday night under the lights! Saturday night under the lights…!” and from there they would say where the racing would be taking place and, of course, it would have been at one of our local race… Continue reading Bristol Dirt Racing Under The Lights

From a NASCAR Fan’s View Well… It’s that time again. Time for the Cup teams to take it to Richmond. This could be just another weekend but some things have changed since the last time drivers took to the track. There have been rule changes and they will likely have an effect on the way… Continue reading Cup Teams Taking It To Richmond

From a NASCAR Fan’s View It used to be that road races were just weekends to be survived and not many drivers liked having to turn both left and right. Some were often replaced for these races by “ringers” familiar with road racing and sometimes the “ringers” would even perform really well. Other times, well,… Continue reading Road Racing at Cota Up Next

From a NASCAR Fan’s View Well… There’s one thing that can still be said about the Atlanta Motor Speedway and that’s that it is fast. Of course, it is a little treacherous for the drivers with it being run like Daytona and Talladega. With just 550 horsepower and the teams facing the new configuration for… Continue reading Atlanta Is Up Next For The Cup Teams

From a NASCAR Fan’s View The big question for the race this weekend at Phoenix Raceway is how the new rules package will affect not only the drivers but, the racing in general. After the practice session, it appears the drivers have pretty much gotten a grip on the difference in handling but there are… Continue reading Phoenix With New Rules Is Next
