Pressure Ramps Up At Kansas
From a NASCAR Fan’s View To this fan, this has been a different year all round and it has been a difficult one to figure out. Well, at least in my opinion. I do believe the Next Gen car ahs a lot to do with that but I can’t blame everything I see on the…
Champions Racing For The 2016 Championship from a NASCAR Fan’s View
Like it not, this race isn’t really about the winner. Well, that is unless the winner is one of the final four in this final race of the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup series. An interesting fact about this one is that it is really two races in one, or, at least can be. If it…
Talladega, Restrictor Plates and Elimination from a NASCAR Fan’s View
Talladega… a place most of the NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers love to hate. A place where restrictor plates hold back the speeds of 3400 pound race cars that could go much faster and a place where the outcome won’t be known until the checkered flag falls for the drivers that manage to make it to…

Throwbacks and Taming The Bojangles Southern 500 from a NASCAR Fan’s View
Darlington Raceway… One of the oldest tracks on the NASCAR circuit brings a lot of memories and emotions along with its name. It has been loved, it has been hated but it is legendary and has been since it was built in 1950. Along with all of its history it has been known by several…

NASCAR Cup Teams Road Racing at The Glen from a NASCAR Fan’s View

There is nothing more frustrating for the drivers and their teams than to have the added stress of having to…
