NCTS: Ron Hornaday will line up tonight in the tightest contest for a championship in the top three divisions of NA$CAR. Trailing Johnny Benson by just 3 points, Hornaday must avoid a repeat of the first lap crash that nearly took him out of contention last week at Phoenix.
Grumpy thinks this will be the best [...]
Phoenix International Raceway. Jimmie and the #48 team had the pole, led the most laps and won the race. Cousin Carl brought the #99 in at 4th place. In order to clinch the 3rd consecutive championship, Jimmie has to finish 36th or better at Homestead. Edwards and the #99 Roush Ford have raced valiantly during [...]
The championship appears to be Jimmie’s to lose. A strong run today by Greg Biffle and Jeff Burton, while a broken motor in the #48 early could change everything.
Grumpy does not wish to see the fortunes of any team turn on the random bad luck of failure. Yet, it seems that the #48 team stands [...]
Cale Yarborough, to this moment is the only man to win NA$CAR’s championship in 3 consecutive years. Driving for the legendary Junior Johnson, Cale captured the Winston Cup Championship in 1976, 77 and 78.

Martinsville, Va. The only short track in the Chase for the Championship. Hell, it is just about the only short track left on the schedule. It has narrow, flat and tight corners.

When you come to Talladega Superspeedway, you think about the legendary Dale Earnhardt and how he won the most races including the final race of his storied career. Before the restrictor plate era there was a man, Bobby Allison, leader of the legendary ALABAMA GANG.
Bobby Allison, 1983 Winston Cup Champion and leader of the Alabama [...]
Just a few minutes into the first cup practice session, John Darby was on the radio reminding everybody it was just a practice. There they were running 3 and 4 wide down the backstretch at ‘dega in a pack of about 25 cars.
Smoke errupted from the #88 of Dale Earnhardt jr. Looks like an engine swap [...]
Juan Pablo Montoya put the Havoline Dodge on the pole at Kansas Speedway this afternoon. He will start the race 43rd on Sunday. The Ganassi/Sabates #42 Dodge failed a post qualifying inspection due to a problem in the rear shocks.
