Hey, Nationwide is exciting this year!

As of this season, I am officially a devout Nationwide series fan.  In the past, I tried to give the series serious attention, but I would usually find something else to do on Saturday.  The junior series Daytona races were interesting with Dale Jr. and Kevin Harvick duking it out for the win, but that was pretty much it....

NASCAR’s Most Exciting Track

Bristol Motor Speedway is one of the shortest racetracks on the NASCAR circuit and definitely brings about exciting racing. The track is half a mile in length. Ready for a math moment?

More Than Just Fan Friendly

This week I was blessed with the opportunity to travel along with the NASCAR “city” to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. I toured the track a few years ago, but I have never been to this track for a race weekend. I arrived Friday afternoon and was overwhelmed by the number of people present.

Testing Policy: Revisions?

The multiple adjustments made to the chase formant demonstrate that NASCAR is not afraid of alteration. Will this be the case with the testing policy instated in 2009? The policy was implemented due to smaller teams’ economic struggles. NASCAR hoped to level out the playing field. Eight races into the season, the new policy seems to be working. Although...

Why Nascar?

I have been a NASCAR fan for ten years now and I still get asked why I find cars turning left interesting.
