NASCAR is placing drivers Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart on probation for six races, beginning with Sunday’s Daytona 500.

The punishment follows a confrontation between the two former series champions, who wrecked in practice last week and then carried it into the NASCAR officials’ trailer.

NASCAR says the probation stems solely from the on-track portion of their clash, when the drivers deliberately used their cars as battering rams.

One year ago today, NASCAR Winston Cup Champion and racing commentator Benny Parsons passed away.

The day he passed away, our webmaster wrote a remembrance of Benny Parsons. You can read it by clicking here, and feel free to leave your own memories and comments about this great ARCA and NASCAR champion.

We’d like to give our typewriter logo a refresh or upgrade for the new 2008 season.

Our owner Mike does pretty well with the technical aspects of running this website and maintaining the WordPress behind-the-scenes interfaces, but he freely admits he is graphically-challenged.

So we need someone who has that graphical gift to help us out.

Interested?
