Grumpy’s take: One car was coming fast. One car moved to block. As the field hurled into turn 3 at, oh [...]

RANT: FOX & NA$CAR put Ratings before Fans

Daytona: BUD Shootout has new look

Daytona International Speedway. At last, the sound of cup cars on the track for practice today. The format for this Shootout is not the same. Gone are the winners of poles from the previous season.
