What can Grumpy say that has not been said before?
Grumpy’s pre-season predictions were……..WRONG!
Hendrick Motorsports is the model of success in NA$CAR today. More specifically, the #48 team led by Chad Knaus has the total package. A great driver, a smart leader on the box and a host of dedicated people over the wall and behind [...]
NCTS: Ron Hornaday will line up tonight in the tightest contest for a championship in the top three divisions of NA$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 [...]
It is down to this; DALE EARNHARDT, INC. will merge its operation with CHIP GANASSI with FELIX SABATES to field 4 teams running Chevrolets for the ‘09 season.
The wilting economy has caused many big corporations to cut spending on things like NA$CAR sponsorships. Long standing sponsors like Texaco and Kodak have had ties in NA$CAR [...]
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 [...]
Texas Motorspeedway: Carl Edwards and the #99 Roush-Sox dominated the race. The finish will say that cousin Carl won on a fuel mileage strategy. That would be an honest statement. Crew chief, Bob Osborne rolled the dice and left the #99 on the track as all the cars in front of Carl had to stop [...]
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.
Now, thirty years later, Jimmie Johnson may be poised to join Cale in that elite accomplishment. If the #48 Lowe’s team [...]
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. The front and backstretchs take about 4 seconds on the throttle before getting hard on the brakes. Pit road entry is at the end of [...]
Jeff Burton drove his #31 At&T Chevy to victory Saturday night at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. The win is the 21st for Burton and vaulted him into second place in the Chase. While the headlines have been dominated by the usual names like, Jimmie Johnson, Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards, the #31 RCR team has quietly [...]
Charlotte, N.C. The U.S. Army officially announced plans to sponsor the #39 Stewart-Haas Chevy and driver, Ryan Newman.
The U.S. Army will sponsor Newman in 22 points-paying races, along with the non-points-paying Sprint All-Star Race at LMS. For the remaining 14 races, the U.S. Army will serve as an associate sponsor on the No. 39 with [...]
