Well the mid-season change has taken place. NASCAR racing is now being broadcast on TNT instead of FOX. I don’t really like all of the stuff that FOX puts on the screen when broadcasting. I’m not the biggest fan of Darrell Waltrip so I’m glad that portion of the season is over. I’m also not [...]
As the season comes to a close less than 30 Cup cars have full time sponsorship in place. Auto manufacturers are posting losses and are expected to offer less direct support to teams in an effort to hold on to their money a little tighter. Budgets for advertising, marketing and promotions will look like they’ve [...]
RB and I aren’t fans of Robby Gordon. He always seems to be involved in accidents and he always seems to be whining. Today Jamie had an outstanding car and could have had a chance to win or finish very well. Robby Gordon was a lap down and kept fighting to not go further back [...]
This was Dale Jarrett’s last race, he’s now officially retired after 668 race starts. After today he will start one more time in the all star race in May at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. His first full time Cup ride was in 1987. Dale has 32 Cup victories. He has nothing but praise for his sponsor [...]
One of the cuter commercials that used to be shown, particularly during a race, were the Jeff Burton State Farm commercials. The commercials weren’t so much direct pitches for car insurance as they were a cute pr infomercial approach. In one commercial Jeff Burton tells his rep how many accidents he’s had. In another he [...]
Seriously. Now I enjoyed ZZ Top’s music back in the day, and still do. But as I look at them on my big tv performing live at the California Speedway for the Nascar race they look like they need to call it a day. The drummer is the only one that doesn’t look absolutely ancient. [...]
I spoke with my Dad today. He and my brother are going to the race in California tomorrow, if it stops raining. Qualifying for all races was rained out and he said there’s chance of rain tomorrow as well. There’d been no word on when the race would run if it was rained out tomorrow. [...]
I have been waiting for this past week, including today, since November. Today was the first official race of the season. The Daytona 500. For any racing fan who’s never been to the track you must go at least once. We went in 1999 when I was pregnant with my youngest. It’s absolutely amazing. Onward. [...]
Nascar Angels is a show where they pick a deserving person each week who needs their car fixed. the mission of the show, now in its second season, is to help people, fix cars and promote car care awareness. The show is hosted by my favorite Nascar driver of all time Rusty Wallace, along with [...]
Sometimes the commercials put out by Nascar, Nextel and various race team sponsors are the funniest commercials around. My current favorite Nascar commercial shows a balding man sitting on a bench on a windy day. Two men going by see him, and the first man mentions “comb over” to the other. The second man replies [...]
