Reading Material To Take Your Mind Off The Dale Earnhardt Jr. Thing
I recently become aware of something called the "NASCAR Library Collection." which sounded intriguing. So, what is it, a collection of books on the history of NASCAR, the sport's impact on society, and in-depth biographies of the sport's most interesting figures?...
Stone Cold Tony Stewart Tells It Like It Is
If only Don Imus had thought of this. Tony Stewart says he was fighting a fever on Tuesday night on his weekly radio show when he accused NASCAR of rigging their races like professional wrestling, which is a big insult to either NASCAR or professional wrestling, we're not sure which....
We Really Need To Get Out To A NASCAR Race Soon
We've never been to a NASCAR race ... but this is pretty much always what we've imagined it's like....
Checking In Again With Our Daytona Correspondent
Our Daytona 500 correspondent Luke checks in once again, live from the track....
I Am Not Ignoring Today's Race Car Driving Event
I wasn't able to make it to Daytona this weekend, because I have anything better to do... but I did dispatch my special correspondent, Luke....
Who's Sorry Now? Naked Hi-Jinx Edition
Simply put, we can think of no more embarrassing yet hilarious opening line to a letter than this:...
We Like To Think Of Jesus As A Mischievous Badger
You might think that Jesus would want you to watch NASCAR, and, doggone it, you'd be right....
What Kind Of Bet Would The Pink Taco Make?
When mayors make their yearly dopey bets on certain sports series — "If the Colts win, you'll give us your deep dish pizza, and if your Bears win, we'll give you some dreary dead-end manufacturing jobs!" — it's silly, but kind of cute, in a "white people in suits trading beans" type of way. But when...
NASCAR And ESPN Are Achingly Wholesome Together
NASCAR is returning to ESPN this year, and the network has come up with some advertisements to promote and feed the great beast. While we respect that Bristol was able to resist the temptation to play a John Mellencamp song in the background, the part where the mom is painting her daughter's fingern...
One More Post Until It's Time to Start Drinking
Bah, I suck at timestamps. Those of you who've already seen the last post, well, sorry about that. I also suck at millitary time. Anyway, here's some news that I found troubling if only because I thought she was dead:...
Smell Like Burning Tires
As far as NASCAR-branded products go, nothing quite compares to the NASCAR romance novels, but this one is at least in the ballpark....
Days Of Blunder
In a move that we liken to John Glenn falling out of the teacup ride at Disneyland, NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson broke his wrist on Friday when he fell out of a golf cart during a celebrity golf tournament in Florida....
Maybe Someone Will Run Her Over
This Friday, the fine folks of NASCAR are holding their yearly awards banquet in New York City, in which a bunch of people who do not ordinarily feel comfortable with tuxedos wear tuxedos. (You know, like every other awards show, except with chaw.)...
The NASCAR School Of Parenting
I'd have warned you about the profanity in there, but this video is too awesome for me to have dissuaded you in any way from watching it. I think my favorite part is when the child, around the 1:40 mark, is desperate for some fatherly affection; some sort of sign that indicates that there's a small ...
Welcome To The Moe Howard 500
Our next story comes from Texas, land of lizards and slapstick, where a NASCAR rivalry boiled over into, well, pretty much what you might expect. Following the Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday, an "unidentified crewman for Scott Riggs' team" knocked over driver Kevin Harvick, his wife...
Days Of Blunder
Sounds perfectly logical to us: You're in a NASCAR race, you're not doing so hot, so you break off a piece of your car and throw it on the track so they'll put out the caution flag. Yet, Robbie Gordon could be in trouble for doing this — we just don't understand racing — at the Atlanta Motor Speed...
The Enlightened Worldview Of Ray Dunlap
Will briefly mentioned yesterday in the apology post that a NASCAR broadcaster made some disparaging comments about Hispanic NASCAR fans, but none of the AP reports knew exactly what he said. I did a little googling, and found a couple of people who heard ol' Ray....
You Can Shove Your Sorrys In A Sack, Mister
The week began with violence and bravado, but has concluded in ignominious regret. Yes, it's time for the "sorry" roundup. And while none of these apologies rise to the level of that of that of the great Pete Rose, rest assured that all of the participants are nonetheless terribly filled with sham...
Watching NASCAR Kills Six People Per Weekend, And No, It's Not Of Boredom
The Fire Department of New York came out with this neat little statistic yesterday: On average, six people die per weekend at a NASCAR race event. Six people per weekend! Six people DIE, on AVERAGE. What the hell goes on at these things? Do they let Ted Kennedy drive one of the cars? Are there ritua...
You Know, We Hear The Smell Attracts Bears
You know, there are times when it's obvious that we're not covering enough auto racing around these parts....
