Around 1974. True story and it's funny, in fact when I shared it with "Thats Racin" I won free tickets to a Busch race at Charlotte. In my younger days my Uncle Chris and I would go to the Cup races at Charlotte year, and we always got to the...
I love this site for many reasons, but at the top of the list is for the chance to go back in my memory each time I see some of the great phoptos that so many of you post. My favorite era is the early to mid 70's, the era where the big cars roared...
Lets face it, racing at Talladega and Daytona is a thing of the past. The cars are too fast and the seats are too close to let them race at these two tracks. And what good is it to slow them down any slower than they already are? It makes no sence...
With the NASCAR HOF being in the news lately, I wanted to remind us all of one of the greats in our sport that left a empty spot in my heart when he passed. Tim Richmond was exciting, controversial, flashy and didn't much fit in the the others on...
It is so easy to be critical of the NASCAR of today, I thought I'd open my eyes and try to put a positive spin on things. I have to admit I like the focus on safety that NASCAR is taking. This is a must and I think we all can agree on this. We've...
When did NASCAR take a wrong turn in the progression of the sport, and are they really to blame? Could this have been avoided? As fans, we want to see the best show possible. But somewhere along the line this sport has taken a path that has led us...
We all remember when a Ford looked like a Ford, a Dodge looked like a Dodge, they all looked very simular to the street cars we drove, minus the headlights and door handles. Over the years NASCAR addressed the advantages and disadvantages of...
NASCAR and the teams have had time to work on this thing and it shows, they need more time. I'm puzzled by something, as time goes by and advancements are made in this sport you would think that the car would improve at a steady pace. I don't see...
Short and simple, did Brad Keselowski make a good move when he signed with Penske?My first thought was 'NO'. None of the Penske teams seem to run good week in and out, they just seem to be just a decent top 20 car. I think he could have done...
OK, I know many of you out there will reply with much ridicule, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it, I HATE BRISTOL!!! I have to admit the racing is getting better since the track was redone, but I still don't like it. Of all the track the series...
My previous blog, "Let The Arguing Begin", I mentioned several cars from my favorite era of NASCAR racing. Think back to your favorite era and tell me the car you liked best. A make, a paint scheme, whatever stuck in your memory as the best...
Here's a good topic, looking at todays driver's, who among the top 35 do you think would have been able to compete AND win in the Cup seriers? Lets pick an era, lets say from 1965-1975. I know there was a lot that went into determinning a winning...
I have given some thought to this, but I can't come up with an answer that will satisfy every race fan out there. Maybe if we pool our thoughts we can come up with a good idea. Here's the question:What to do with Daytona and Talledega?The speed at...
With so much going on with the ecconomy, sponsorship problems, the COT issues and the Jeremey Mayfield circus, how would you grade NASCAR on these points as well as others that stand out in your mind? Don't hold back but give honest grades. Share...
