Kevin Harvick Finally Gets Happy At Richmond
What an interesting week it was in NASCAR. First of all, Matt Kenseth’s team gets just hammered by NASCAR after an engine connecting rod was found to be 2.7 grams underweight in his winning Toyota. Fines were levied, with Kenseth and Joe Gibbs losing 50 points each. Ouch. For a part that has nothing to [...]

Looking in the Rearview Mirror: Daytona
I’m sure as the changes were announced for this year in NASCAR, Dale Earnhardt and Jim Hunter debated the issue. As Speed Weeks arrived, the debate heated up. “Tandem racing” grumbled Dale, “… not what the fans want to see”. Hunter countered, ”NASCAR will adjust things so it’s not boring.” After the Duels they both [...]

Charlotte – Coca Cola 600 Statistically Speaking
Last May, David Reutimann’s gamble to stay out paid off. He actually won with the help of Mother Nature. He was running in 14th when the final caution came out for rain on lap 221 of the scheduled 400 laps. Reutimann inherited the lead when he stayed on the track, while the rest of the [...]

To wing or not to wing
After the latest edition of the Brad and Carl Show at Atlanta on Sunday, it became even clearer to me that the wing allows the cars to get airborne more easily. I have been touting that line since last year. During the broadcast, even DW and his booth partners discussed the issue with the wing. [...]
