Back when just “spyin’” it was all we could hope for, they called it the “Blue Devil” in deference to the alma mater of GM’s CEO; but word has it now that the new Super ‘Vette will be named a more understated “SS”. And, why not? After all, if you get behind the [...]
2008 Shelby GT500KR — the most powerful Mustang to date.

Ted Musgrave was suspended one race Wednesday for retaliating against another driver during the Truck Series [...]
A shining star that who’s time was too short. I know accidents happen. But something about that track still bothers me today. Adam and the Kenny Irwin jr. both lost their lives in practice accidents at the flat 1 mile oval.
