Posted Tuesday November 17, 2009, About: Sterling Marlin to retire
Kind of hard to come back from that kind of injury. It speaks a ton for him that he had the courage simply to climb back into a stock car.
Posted Friday July 31, 2009, About: Stepmother files slander suit against Mayfield
I saw that guy on lockup. On a short trip outside the prison, he held up a fast food place, or convenience store, or something. He was so close to getting parole, now he's off to prison in Utah. Pretty much for good.
Posted Monday July 27, 2009, About: Red Bull to decide on carmaker, driver
So in other words, the point of this story is to say we'll have a story soon.
Posted Saturday July 11, 2009, About: Keselowski joining Penske?
Or just do what Childress does every year. Go for the owner's championship and let the other teams try for the drivers.
Posted Saturday July 11, 2009, About: Keselowski joining Penske?
SH is quasi-HMS. And SH expanding to a 3rd would be as a placeholder for Kes. Or maybe for Mark Martin and put Kes in the 5.
Posted Saturday July 11, 2009, About: Keselowski joining Penske?
If you're Kes, and you have the choice of:

1. Penske
2. An extra year part time in Cup before a Hendrick ride
3. 3rd car at Stewart-Haas

Is there ANY WAY IN HE// you take the Penske ride?
Posted Sunday June 28, 2009, About: Earthquakes threatening West Coast U.S. Opens?
Yeah, because people don't play golf EVERY FRICKIN DAY on the west coast. Pebble Beach seems to have survived major earthquakes. And so could the US Open.
Posted Sunday May 31, 2009, About: NASCAR moving to double-file restarts
Which is why you shouldn't double file lead lap cars.
Posted Sunday May 31, 2009, About: NASCAR moving to double-file restarts
But you don't always get lapped because of being slow. Look at the race today! A bunch of REALLY good cars got trapped a lap down on pit road by the caution.
Posted Sunday May 31, 2009, About: NASCAR moving to double-file restarts
If NASCAR does this, they need to go back to racing back to the caution because it will be nearly impossible to get a lap back.

And what has "racing back" gotten? Only one of the greatest finishes in NASCAR history. The 1979 Daytona 500 ended with a fight (literally) between Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough. At one point earlier in the race, those two were a combined 5 laps down, but got them all back and ended up crashing fighting for the win. Think that would have happened with the Lucky Dog and double file lead lap restarts? I don't think so.
Posted Monday May 18, 2009, About: Defiant Mayfield may seek legal action
That's a little conspiracy theory for my tastes, TW. I'd like to give Ray enough credit that he wouldn't do that kind of thing.

I also would like to give Mayfield enough credit that he can sink his ship without help.
Posted Monday May 18, 2009, About: Defiant Mayfield may seek legal action
That lawsuit worked so well against his previous employers. He'd have a better chance suing his current boss than suing NASCAR successfully.

And yeah, I know he's his own boss.
Posted Wednesday May 13, 2009, About: Hendrick to return after brief illness
At least they finally stopped posting pictures of Richard Childress with a Rick Hendrick caption...
Posted Saturday April 18, 2009, About: Gibbs gives Logano vote of confidence
He'll be great, or he'll be Casey Atwood.

But if JGR wants to start a 4th team, doesn't Truex want to not come back to....what's the team name now? DEI? EGM? The team Theresa owns? "Oh, yeah, them"?
Posted Tuesday March 24, 2009, About: Gillett selling Petty team?
Gillett is the owner, but does he have any active day-to-day effect on the team? Who actually runs it? If he does have to sell it, a smooth transition would be best for the teams...
Posted Thursday February 05, 2009, About: Tour to crack down on facial hair?
And we thought NFL was the No Fun League when they tried to make Troy Polamalu cut his hair.

Looking for the best PGA acronym along those lines.
Posted Saturday December 27, 2008, About: NASCAR's top marketable driver is...
Exactly. It is the likability factor. People don't like JJ and JG, deserved or not. They do like Martin and Burton (both of which are 100%+ deserved).

And Petty has the name.
Posted Friday December 26, 2008, About: Niners to replace Martz with Turner?
That's a HUGE upgrade! Turner is AWFUL as a head coach anywhere, but he is great as a coordinator.
Posted Tuesday December 09, 2008, About: Next Ryder Cup captain will be...
Way to add to the intelligent conversation of the day. This is an important issue about the preeminent international golf tournament. If you don't like it, don't read it.
Posted Tuesday November 11, 2008, About: Wood Brothers linked to Ford
Shouldn't the headline be "HOF Linked to Ford"? Or "HOF Linked to Wood Brothers"?
Posted Wednesday August 27, 2008, About: Grubb leaving Hendrick for Stewart
Wow. What a great move for Stewart. Grubb is great, and should have been given the 88 car.
