Sprint Cup Series From Darlington On FOX
12 May 2012 | 4:29 pmThis is going to be a very big night for the NASCAR on FOX team. It's been an up and down season on TV with the addition of a second Waltrip and the ongoing struggle between the "hyper-tight" coverage and showing viewers the actual racing. Last weekend in Talladega, FOX surprised many of us by returning to a classic style of NASCAR TV that focused on the groups of cars racing for position and then used tight-shots and in-car cameras to emphasize the speed and danger. It worked like a charm.What did not work like a charm was the commentary from the Waltrips. Michael continues to be… -

9 May 2012 | 2:19 pmWith every passing week, the tension mounts.

And yet until it does, that combination of fretfulness and anticipation is always going to be there, rising a little higher in the throats of race fans until, miracle of miracles, the No. 88 car actually pulls into Victory Lane. -

5 May 2012 | 1:15 pmTALLADEGA, Ala. -- The high banks and high speeds of Talladega Superspeedway can put the fear in an experienced driver, let alone a fresh-faced rookie making his first trip to NASCAR's biggest, baddest oval.

6 Mar 2012 | 1:19 pmMaybe the starkest proof of the bleak state of the NASCAR sponsorship landscape is borne out by Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth's Roush Fenway Racing team, which has more than a third of its 2012 season currently unsponsored. -

Caraviello: Inside a helmet, everything can seem different
16 May 2012 | 9:15 amPreparing for a group interview session at the race track with Tony Stewart can be like girding for battle. You wear your thickest skin, arm yourself with your most original questions, brace for the possibility of verbal shrapnel. And when the glare from his unseen eyes penetrates even through those dark wraparound sunglasses, you'd better be ready to duck and move. -

NASCAR's Car Challenge Runs Deeper Than COT
15 May 2012 | 7:00 amNot a week goes by in NASCAR nation when there isn’t a discussion about downward trends in track attendance and TV ratings, and there’s as many opinions out there as there are fans. And just as sure as there are a variety of complaint offered, there as many attempted fixes by NASCAR to try to address it, the latest being tweaks to the side skirts with the aim of creating less down force and greater ground clearance,by another inch. At the end of the day, the desired end is that it will make it easier for the cars to pass each other. Beyond the points, the Chase, the… -
SOUTHERN 500 ODDS
11 May 2012 | 7:00 amAnd you thought Talladega was unpredictable? Darlington is one of my favorite tracks. The track deserves two races. And when you look at all the factors in play Saturday night, this might be the most must see race not named Daytona. Here’s why: read more -
WHY JEFF GORDON WILL MAKE THE CHASE
8 May 2012 | 7:00 amDon’t like “points racing?” This season, Jeff Gordon is your guy. I could go on about how fans who accuse drivers of playing it conservative know nothing about the competitive spirit, but that would be a digression. Besides, no one need look further than old Super G to find a racer driving with purpose over the next 16 events. A lot of “Monday Morning Quarterbacks” are writing off the four-time champion as if he is NASCAR’s Mariano Rivera. I wouldn’t be so fast to dismiss this as a lost season. In fact, I will go on record as saying he makes it. -
AARON'S 499 ODDS
7 May 2012 | 7:00 amReality bites. This isn’t about an annoying movie, rather the reality of losing two straight races and going to NASCAR’s most unpredictable track. If there is going to be a curveball thrown in the 2012 Sprint Cup schedule, this is the weekend. Here’s why. read more -
EDWARDS & STEWART NOT BLAMELESS
1 May 2012 | 7:00 amIt’s not what fans always to hear, but it’s true; officials don’t win or lose sporting events, the participants do. Before you start throwing things at your monitor or disparaging this observer’s ancestry, think about it. Officials aren’t infallible, and they do make some horrendous calls. Worse yet, they can become magnified by the moment in which they occur. With that said, for every bad call, there are numerous win costing, competitor errors: missed shots, incomplete passes, bad defense, and jumping the re-starts. Kyle Busch may think he got a…
