John Kokolski posted this in Pipe Smoke on April 28th, 2009

John Kokolski posted this in Pipe Smoke on April 2nd, 2009

Is Todd Bodine ever going to get a serious Cup ride again?

Things look kind of interesting… money gets tight and the youngsters are being traded for seasoned veterans in some of the lesser teams. They may not be the media stars, but hey, if it gets your car qualified, do you really [...]

My column, “Dear Brian…” got almost 1,000 hits during its first week. When Pipe Smoke came on the scene as an independent site, the first 1,000 hits took over a year.
