NASCAR Fanatic — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:20:35 +0000

PART 1 I found it interesting when Ryan Newman started his wild ride last Sunday that I wasn’t to concerned. I admit when at first it seemed like it was taking a while to get him out of the car that I got a little concerned. But overall with this new car it seems [...]

NASCAR Fanatic — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:59:22 +0000

Ryan Newman’s Interview So what did you think about the Amp Energy 500 race Talladega Superspeedway? I have a feeling a lot of people thought it was boring and even the ABC announcers hinted towards and almost sounded apologetic about the race being the way it was. NASCAR implemented a couple new rules for safety which in the [...]

What Do You Think Of The Inaugural Class To The NASCAR Hall Of Fame?

NASCAR Fanatic — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:42:21 +0000

I have to admit, I did not pay real close attention to this subject over the last few months or however long it has been. I can’t tell you why that is. Maybe because I knew whoever they picked I would probably be OK with it. It is hard to argue that [...]

NASCAR Shrinks Restictor Plates……That’s Not The Answer

NASCAR Fanatic — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 06:19:13 +0000

I have to disagree with NASCAR on this one. I don’t think slowing the cars down is the answer. NASCAR has made some great changes this year all due to listening to the fans. Double file restarts and “set” time schedule for the 2010 season although the later of the 2 was not [...]

I Can’t Believe NASCAR Warned Keselowski About Racing Montoya!

NASCAR Fanatic — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:04:32 +0000

This is one of those areas that gets sketching with NASCAR and having play-offs. Having “play-off” teams racing with “non play-off” teams. I think it really makes it unique to NASCAR. How 1 team (or driver) that is not a Chase contender could completely ruin a Chase contenders day or even shot [...]

Why Wouldn’t Hendrick’s #48 Team Be Penalized?

NASCAR Fanatic — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:59:17 +0000

Or Why would they? I think a lot of times things that seem minor to me, get penalized way to hard in NASCAR. And of course there are things that seem like a big deal to me but the offending party gets a slap on wrist. So, what do I know? [...]
