NASCAR: Atlanta Win, Hold The Tires … And The Car … And The …

06-Sep-09

WOW.
Somehow, bitchin’ about tires and the COT[non-COT-in-2009] … sigh … it just gets old.
No wonder why I haven’t posted for so long.
So, maybe I could, instead, bitch about this grainy nascar.com pic that doesn’t even come close to the snooze -fest that the last ten laps [I can never get back of my life] of [...]

23-Jun-09

Honestly, I don’t even have to bring my poison pen out this time … no need, because this “writer” is SO rich with melodramatic flutz, that, if you hit his story link? You’ll piss yourself off for having wasted your time reading it, lol …

Kahne’s win was one of the most popular victories this season [...]

NASCAR: Kahne Takes Sonoma While Neda Brings Tears

21-Jun-09

So, I’m finally posting again, grin … go figure.
I can’t tell you that I watched the end of today’s Cup race without emotion. In fact, the last several laps were actually exciting, and that had a lot to do with double-file restarts. Kudos to Kahne for making it happen for Petty (et.al.), and kudos (can’t [...]

DAYTONA 500: Junior owes no apology to Vickers

18-Feb-09

Grumpy chewed on this thing for a couple of days. I read all the pundits. I listened to Brian Vickers and others. I listened to all the comments given to the media by Dale Earnhardt jr.
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

15-Feb-09

Daytona 500 ends at 380. Shame on Fox! Shame on NA$CAR! if this race had begun just 40 minutes sooner, the fans would have seen the full race and we don’t know who would have won. The network was burning daylight for an hour and forty minutes past the time FOX started the broadcast. With [...]

DAYTONA 500: Great American Race Comes to This

14-Feb-09

All the drama and excitment that is part of Speedweeks gave us a taste of the big show.
We saw Jeff Gordon return to victory lane by winning the first Gatorade 150. Hours and hours of Daytona practice coverage on SPEED TV. All the pundits have had their say. All the drivers have answered endless questions. Now, [...]

DAYTONA: Harvick Wins Bud Shootout

08-Feb-09

DAYTONA, Kevin Harvick got a great push from the #11 of Denny Hamlin to make the outside pass on Jamie McMurray to claim the victory. Just seconds later, a final crash triggered the yellow flag that sealed the deal for Harvick.
The 28 car field had several names that would not otherwise be in the Shootout [...]

Daytona: BUD Shootout has new look

06-Feb-09

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. There is a reason for that. If you noticed, last year, the pole award was sponsored by COORS. It would [...]

NASCAR: Ticket Prices Falling For Many ‘09 Events

11-Jan-09

MARTINSVILLE has joined a long list of tracks controlled by INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY CORP. to reduce ticket prices for the ‘09 season.
Grumpy wants to think that I$C is responding to the pain felt by the little people who are faced with tightening budgets or job loss. Call it what you like. The phones are not ringing [...]
