NASCAR's greatest cheats detailed

It is only fitting that NASCAR has as history of cheating that’s as cunning and varied as the methods of the original, moonshine-running racers skirting the law. Popular Mechanics has detailed 11 great moments in the bending and breaking of NASCAR rules, which include a cheating incident and ejection in the very first series race in 1949, an inflated basketball to circumvent gas tank capacity and frame rails loaded with BBs to get around weight restrictions.

And although a stricter rule book and the Car of Tomorrow might make “rules violations” harder ever year, it certainly hasn’t stopped: a site that keeps track of NASCAR penalties shows the series has docked five teams five teams already this year. Perhaps that’s because, as Darryl Waltrip said after getting busted in 1976, “If you don’t cheat, you look like an idiot.”

Statistically Speaking - Bristol

This time last year, Kyle Busch had to hold off Mark Martin on a four lap sprint to the finish! It wasn’t easy, several restarts and a 15-minute rain delay would slow him down.

>>>Fast Forward – Jimmie Johnson, finally marked Bristol off of his to do list earlier this season with his first victory at the track. He clawed his way to the lead, from 6th place in just three laps. Lady luck? Horseshoe? Kurt Busch led 278 of the 500 laps and had a decent gap on Johnson when his easy drive to victory was clouded by a debris caution with 17 laps remaining. All the leaders headed to pit road, and Busch and Johnson both took four tires on the final stop.

Let’s crunch the numbers and see who’s hot and who’s not. The drivers popping up, just might surprise ya!

TV Times - New Hampshire keeps two Sprint Cup races... for now

Lou Modestino's TV TimesThe news is that New Hampshire Motor Speedway will keep its two Sprint Cup races, at least for 2011.  While fans and management of NHMS breathed a sigh of relief, it’s still entirely possible that one of the Cup events at the Loudon, NH, track could still move in the near future.  Sources reveal that if International Speedway Corp., part of the France family racing empire, had agreed to move its race to late February of next year from this November, O. Bruton Smith of Speedway Motorsports, Inc., would have moved the NHMS spring race to Vegas for the NASCAR Chase To The Nextel Cup finale in a New York Minute.  Speculation tells us that the two Cup races at NHMS are not chiseled in stone, especially if attendance continues to fall.
