Some Cup Teams Looking For Magic at New Hampshire from a NASCAR Fan’s View
There are still some NASCAR Cup teams trying to seal their deal for making the Chase and they will be looking for some magic at the Magic Mile on Sunday afternoon. As we all know, the best way for them to do that is to win a race and take the points racing pressure off.…
Cup Teams Take On A Different Kentucky Speedway from a NASCAR Fan’s View
The NASCAR Cup Teams take on a different Kentucky Speedway tonight. It is different because it has been repaved and, not only repaved but changes were made to the track as well. Turns 1 and 2 are different and the front straight has been changed a little. The track needed to be repaved and, since…
Daytona, Restrictor Plates and the Coke Zero 400 from a NASCAR Fan’s View
There’s nothing like NASCAR Sprint Cup racing at Daytona on a fourth of July weekend. There is the speed, the bumper to bumper, door to door close racing and the drafting along with the celebration of the birth of our nation and the always spectacular Support for our Troops. Of course there is always that…
Sprint Cup Teams Hit the Road Course at Sonoma from a NASCAR Fan’s View
There’s really nothing new about stock cars running the Road Racing circuit at Sonoma – it’s been going on for a long time. Even though there is nothing new about it, it doesn’t change the fact that it is a pleasant change from watching them go around in circles all the time. Not only do…
Some Thoughts on the 2016 NASCAR Cup Series So Far from a NASCAR Fan’s View
Since the NASCAR Cup Teams are taking a break from racing this weekend, I thought it might be a good time for this fan’s assessment of the Cup Series so far for the 2016 season. I’m not so sure many will agree with my assessment but I am going to express myself, if for no…
NASCAR At Michigan from a NASCAR Fan’s View
There are a lot of things going on in NASCAR these days and the race at Michigan is only one of them. Between NASCAR experimenting with reduced down force for the future, crew chiefs being suspended and then put on probation for the rest of the year and others being fined for speaking their minds,…
NASCAR Sprint Cup Teams Take On “Tricky” Pocono from a NASCAR Fan’s View
There’s something about Pocono that I’ve never really understood. I guess it’s the way it is interpreted by many and the fact I interpret it differently. When people talk about other racetracks – other than a road course – they usually are looking at two straight-aways and four corners and they call them by the…
600 Miles at Charlotte from a NASCAR Fan’s View
The Cup teams take on the longest race at Charlotte Sunday afternoon into the night and that means 600 miles of driving, thinking, planning and enduring to the end. Well… that is if one of the 40 Teams that will start want to have a chance to end up in Victory Lane. Otherwise it’s just…
It’s Saturday Night Under The Lights At Kansas from a NASCAR Fan’s View
After the wreck-fest at Talladega last weekend, NASCAR Cup teams hitting the track at Kansas may seem a bit tame. Kansas Speedway is a 1.5 mile driver and fan favorite and should prove to be an interesting race and even better yet, it’s another Saturday night under the lights. Nothing really compares with racing under…
Cup Teams Take On Talladega – Restricted of Course from a NASCAR Fan’s View
Talladega is a super speedway. It was made for speed… well that is until in NASCAR’s opinion and in the name of safety the speeds became too great for everyone to remain safe whether talking about drivers or the fans. There’s something about the cars going well over 200 mph that makes them want to…
Daytime Short Tracking Plus the Smoke Returns At Richmond from a NASCAR Fan’s View
For the third time in four weeks NASCAR takes on a short track and this time it is Richmond in the daytime. That in itself should make for an interesting Sunday afternoon but there is one thing more I am sure has not gone unnoticed by most NASCAR fans… That’s right; you didn’t even have…
High Banks, High Speed Means Big Action at Bristol from a NASCAR Fan’s View
I don’t why it is but I do know that no matter what happens at Bristol, almost everyone says the same thing; “That’s Bristol, baby!” Whether it’s an on-track incident or something in the pits, it seems that’s the first words out of just about everyone’s mouth. Bristol is, and always has been, a track…
