Per usual, Bruton Smith makes so damned much sense that … sigh … I’m not quite sure that I’ve posted the entirety of any article and/or blog post, etc. that I’ve resourced before tonight. (Ok, so maybe I have when they’ve been really short and/or I’ve been really zappped, grin …)

Ok … here we go, trying to insert dispassionate rationale into NASCAR racing again — why do these people do this?
The uber popular (divisive, but yes popular) driver of the 20 car has just three races left in a Chevrolet. Texas, Phoenix and Miami then presto — [Tony Stewart is] a Toyota man. Normally, this [...]

If you’ve already read my post from a couple of days ago about Tony George’s plans to resurrect IRL by further differentiating IRL fans from NASCAR/ISC fans … you’ll better understand a few of my comments here. But, first … here’s an interesting tidbit that may already negatively impact one of IRL’s reportedly new major [...]
This image, captured for NASCAR SCENE is the test car driven by Dale Earnhardt jr during testing today. Remember it well. Look for it at a trackside trailer next spring or by order for Christmas. When you take the time to design a paint scheme for a test car, (trust me on this one) someone [...]
