It's pointless.            Gordon, whose three All-Star event wins (1995, 1997 and 2001) ties him with Dale Earnhardt for most all-time, will have the same mindset entering this Saturday's race that he had last week. And the week before…

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…

    The town of Bennettsville, S.C., is a place known for its soil. It was so fertile, legend once held, that it was sold not by the acre, but by the pound. Victorian and Greek revival homes still stand as testament to the era when the place got rich off king cotton, and gins gave rise to millionaires.

    With every passing week, the tension mounts. As one Sprint Cup race shifts into another, the anxiety and the eagerness and the expectation are compounded, to the point where it seems impossible and inevitable all at the same time. Dale Earnhardt's Jr.'s epic winless streak is going to end, sometime. He's running too well, too often, for it not to. 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.

  • Danica duels with Darlington

    11 May 2012 | 6:57 pm
    When the original Sprint Cup schedule for Danica Patrick was penciled in by Stewart-Haas Racing late last year, the plan was for her much-hyped debut to come at Darlington Raceway, perhaps the toughest race track in NASCAR.

    1. Earlier this season, Tony Stewart scored his first victory at Las Vegas. Now there's only one active Sprint Cup track that's been on the schedule longer than a year where he has yet to win: Darlington Raceway. Does he check off that box Saturday night?

    The Coca-Cola Family came up just short of Victory Lane for a second consecutive week but points leader Greg Biffle finished fifth to remain in the top spot.

      Not 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…

     Don’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.

    Reality 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

    It’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…
