NASCAR: Missing Dega Can’t Keep Vickers Down

28-Apr-07

For the fifth time this season, Vickers — who won [at Talladega] last fall as a result of a wild last-lap crash involving Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. — will watch the race from a vantage point somewhere other than inside his race car. Despite that setback, Vickers preferred to accentuate the positive. [...]

NASCAR: Labonte Pulls Off Brilliant Dega Finish!

28-Apr-07

Now, that race was an absolute joy to watch!! KHI finishing one-two, a textbook pass just a couple hundred yards from the finish, and Bobby Labonte in VL again — too cool.

Except for one heart-stoppin’ wreck with Kyle Busch barrel-rolling in a burning race car (one of those horrible “get out - get out [...]

NASCAR: Stewart Penalized … And, Yes, For His Comments.

27-Apr-07

$10,000 and probation for the rest of the year.
Is anyone buyin’ the “it’s not for his comments — it’s for his failure to appear in the media center after the race, as required of the 1-3-placed drivers”?
If so … there’s this bridge in Brooklyn I’ve been thinkin’ about unloading …

NASCAR: Shutting Stewart Up — The NASCAR Way, Sigh …

27-Apr-07

Ah, so what Jim Hunter really meant when he said that Tony Stewart wouldn’t be ‘penalized’ for the comments he made about NASCAR as a sanctioning body on his radio show Tuesday night was that Stewart wouldn’t be fined or otherwise penalized for that, specifically. But, of course, we should’ve known that NASCAR’s ‘disappointment’ [...]

NASCAR: Nate Ryan’s Now On Tony Stewart’s Ass

26-Apr-07

Ya’ know … this Nate Ryan idiot has just about gotten on my last nerve.  He was nasty about Michael Waltrip not long ago, and now he’s piecing together quotes from Smoke to attempt (and not well, I might add) to make him look … uh, well, lol … ’sullen’, as his headline ‘reports’ …
Smoke’s [...]

Indy Car: Duno’s Licensed To … er … Thrill.

26-Apr-07

Ok, so give me a break on the headline, already, grin — I’ve been really lax (aka, rusty, lousy, etc.) on my posting lately, and, aside from that, there really aren’t that many words that rhyme with … well … ‘thrill’, and only that choice of words because I don’t want to be quite as [...]

NASCAR: Stewart’s Just As Sick of NASCAR/ISC As We Are.

26-Apr-07

Stewart’s frustration with finishing second to Jeff Gordon and not having a win so far this Nextel Cup season boiled over on his weekly Sirius Satellite Radio program Tuesday night when he took out his anger on NASCAR. Chief among Stewart’s complaints was the multitude of caution flags for debris, some coming while Stewart [...]

HOCKEY: Racin’ On Ice … grin

23-Apr-07

Hey … I’m really sorry … truly, I am.  I’m just … watchin’ playoffs and havin’ a helluva’ time keepin’ up on racin’ right now … but I’ll be back soon — VERY soon!!
It’s just that … ok … I’ve always said that between racin’ series, hockey is where it’s at … but when hockey’s [...]

NASCAR: Gordon Honors Big E. After Phoenix Win

22-Apr-07

“It means the world,” Gordon said. “To get a win at a track we’ve never won at before. I drove my guts out. … You know, holding the 3 flag, It’s certainly by no means to say I’m as good as or we’re as good as or even close, but I tell you what, to [...]

CHAMP: Uh … Rahal’s Going To ‘Miss’ What?

21-Apr-07

I don’t really have much to say about this …
The 18-year-old Champ Car rookie [Graham Rahal]  is skipping this weekend’s senior prom at New Albany (Ohio) High School to race in the Grand Prix of Houston. “I’d much rather be doing this than dancing,” said Rahal, the son of three-time CART champion Bobby Rahal. [...]
