Apparently, the obvious question for this week’s “Tums Fast Relief 500” race at Martinsville is, “Will this be the week of Jimmie Johnson’s mulligan?” If you listen to many of the reporters and commentators, it’s the only thing that can save Nascar’s 2009 season from becoming a ho-hum experience the rest of the way to… Continue reading Nascar at Martinsville: The Chase for the Sprint Cup Continues and the Pressure’s On … Everybody.

Qualifying aside, who will really be eliminated from taking the top spot in the Chase and added to the list of the ones already eliminated?

Nascar at Dover (After Chatter): Just A Fan’s View of the Latest Monster Tamers
Say what you will about the Hendrick teams and their performance this year, but no matter what you really think, they have been strong. Jimmy Johnson and Mark Martin “Tamed the Monster” and finished 1-2 in the AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway Sunday afternoon. Now, don’t think they were alone in their accomplishment because… Continue reading Nascar at Dover (After Chatter): Just A Fan’s View of the Latest Monster Tamers
Nascar at Bristol: Thunder Valley After Chatter from Just A Fan’s View
Kyle Bush held off a hard charging Mark Martin and brought home the victory for the #18 M&M’s/Joe Gibbs Toyota in the closing laps of the Sharpie 500 in Thunder Valley.

Nascar at Bristol: Sprint Cup Returns To Short Track Racing in Thunder Valley
How about that “Old Guy”, Mark Martin? Another pole starting position and that makes five on the year, so far, for the guy that wasn’t even supposed to be racing this year and who will be making his 1000th start in the Nascar Cup Series Saturday night in Thunder Valley. I always find it interesting… Continue reading Nascar at Bristol: Sprint Cup Returns To Short Track Racing in Thunder Valley
Nascar at Pocono: A Fan’s View of Sunday’s Sunoco – Red Cross – Pennsylvania 500
Sunday’s race at Pocono could hold a few surprises. Tony Stewart will have to start in the back, just like last time, and will have his work cut out for himself if he wants to take home the trophy from the Pennsylvania 500 this weekend. I don’t want to jump the gun on myself, but… Continue reading Nascar at Pocono: A Fan’s View of Sunday’s Sunoco – Red Cross – Pennsylvania 500
Nascar at Indy: “After Chatter” from the Brickyard
I knew it wouldn’t take long for the “Black Helicopters” to fly or the ‘whiners’ to start with their, “Nascar controls who wins,” chatter after the Allstate 400 Sunday and I wasn’t wrong. It actually started before and immediately after the race and still goes on today. I think I’ve heard every excuse from, “they… Continue reading Nascar at Indy: “After Chatter” from the Brickyard
Nascar at Chicagoland “After Chatter”: Mark Martin, Double-file Restarts and the Race for the Chase
Mark Martin clearly had the strongest car Saturday night at Chicagoland and he managed to pull off the victory even though a couple of late race cautions and double-file restarts could have changed the final outcome. Mark pulled away from a hard charging Jeff Gordon as the #24 battled Kasey Kahne in the closing laps… Continue reading Nascar at Chicagoland “After Chatter”: Mark Martin, Double-file Restarts and the Race for the Chase
Nascar Fireworks from Daytona: the Coke Zero 400
The Coke Zero 400 couldn’t come at a better time than actually falling on the fourth of July. That it will be a great race and it will be followed by a great fireworks show goes without saying. This race, that used to be called the Firecracker 400 (amongst other distances), definitely won’t be one… Continue reading Nascar Fireworks from Daytona: the Coke Zero 400
Nascar at the Magic Mile: Just A Fan’s View of the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at NHMS
Once again the field lines up according to points this weekend so it’s pretty obvious the qualifying times won’t matter because they don’t exist. Fortunately for Tony Stewart, he crashed his car into the wall before the qualifying so by the rules, he still gets to start from the pole position. That may or may… Continue reading Nascar at the Magic Mile: Just A Fan’s View of the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at NHMS
Nascar at Sonoma: Infineon Will Be A Shootout between Ringers and Regulars
I love watching road racing with stock cars and Nascar road racing with the COT is definitely at the top of my list. There’s just something I like about a full body race car going fast and turning right as well as left. I’m not one of those fans that thinks Nascar should drop the… Continue reading Nascar at Sonoma: Infineon Will Be A Shootout between Ringers and Regulars
Nascar at Michigan “After Chatter”: Fuel Mileage, with Horsepower, Takes Mark Martin to the Victory
Michigan proved to be a fuel mileage track once again and, much like Pocono last week, Jimmy Johnson came up just a bit short on fuel conservation. Although he dominated during most of the Michigan race, unfortunately, he didn’t dominate the last lap. Mark Martin was ready to settle for just a good, strong finish… Continue reading Nascar at Michigan “After Chatter”: Fuel Mileage, with Horsepower, Takes Mark Martin to the Victory
