Just A Fan’s View Of NASCAR Cup Racing
Round Of Twelve For 2023 Begins At Texas
From a NASCAR Fan’s View Well… it’s time for the Round of Twelve to begin and it begins at Texas. This isn’t just another race weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, it is the beginning of even more pressure and intensity as the Cup playoff drivers try to establish themselves as contenders for the final four.…
Round One Cutoff Race At Bristol Under The Lights
From a NASCAR Fan’s View This race at Bristol is more than just another Saturday night under the lights. There is a lot riding on this one and there are more than four drivers and teams that just can’t afford to have a bad Saturday night at the races. The four in harms way when…
Kansas Is 2023 Play Off Race Two
From a NASCAR Fan’s View Here’s something I bet you already know… the pressure is on again this weekend at Kansas Speedway. After last weekend’s difficulties, several of the playoff competitors are looking to make up for their shortcomings at Darlington. I mean let’s face it. Darlington was tough on a bunch of the playoff…
The Playoffs Begin At Darlington
From a NASCAR Fan’s View What better place to start the playoffs for the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Championship than at the track affectionately called “The Track Too Tough to Tame.” Well… maybe “affectionately” is the wrong word to describe the way the drivers look at the track that is one of the toughest tracks…
Daytona And One Spot Left To Make The Playoffs
From a NASCAR Fan’s View The pressure is on. It’s the last race of the 2023 NASCAR cup regular season. Two things are on the line at the same time. First is the regular season Championship. Truex Jr. is number one right now but there is a long shot chance he could lose it to…
The Glen Means Two To Go To Make The Show
From a NASCAR Fan’s View There’s a lot riding on the race today at The Glen. There are so many possibilities that could play out and any one of them could change which of the drivers will be qualified for the playoffs. There are some above the cutline and some below it and, the way…
Road Racing At Indy
From a NASCAR Fan’s View It’s road racin’ at Indy once again and, because the time is getting short to make the playoffs, this race at Indy is probably more important than it would normally be. That’s not to say it wouldn’t be important anyway but it is saying the intensity is way elevated and…
Michigan Means Four To Go To Make The Playoffs
From a NASCAR Fan’s View The regular season is quickly winding down to its end and this weekend’s race at Michigan means counting this one, there are only four more races to go for drivers to make the playoffs. Wow! Where did this season go? It seems like just a few weeks ago we started…
Chances Winding Down For Making The Playoffs
From a NASCAR Fan’s View After last weekend’s at Pocono, there’s no telling what this race at Richmond Raceway will be like. I mean, the tension and pressure to perform is higher this weekend than it was last weekend and, like the title says, the chances for those not already qualified for making the playoffs…
Cup Teams Take It To Pocono
From a NASCAR Fan’s View There are a lot of drivers that want to win at Pocono this weekend. Some just because they want to win at a track they haven’t won at yet, some because they want to chalk up another victory at the Tricky Triangle and others because they absolutely need a win…
Cup Teams Taking On New Hampshire
From a NASCAR Fan’s View There’s a lot that can happen between the drop of the green flag and the final checkered flag, especially if it’s at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. So, why would I say that? One reason is because this is New Hampshire Motor Speedway and it is a fast, basically flat…
Cup Teams Taking On Atlanta Under the Lights
From a NASCAR Fan’s View For the second time in 2023 the Cup Teams take on the Atlanta Motor Speedway and this time it will be under the lights on a Sunday night. Gee, that just doesn’t sound right for some reason. It’s not even a holiday weekend. The usual statement for a race under…
