How the NASCAR Chase Should Be Set Up
Posted on 1 Jul 2012 by Joseph Hopkins.
How the tracks should be set up for the NASCAR Chase in proper order. Chase Order: SHORT TRACK RUN: 1.) Bristol- Hopefully the new pavement will be an improvement. I like Richmond more, but it'd be silly to have two Chase races in Virginia. Starts the season on primetime tv (on ABC for that matter, which is a plus). Photo by Getty Images 2.) Martinsville- Awesome short track. One of the most ex...

Danica Hitting Her Marks
Posted on 25 Jun 2012 by Steven Keys.
Having roots in America’s Dairyland, a top five finish in last Saturday’s Nationwide stop at Road America would’ve been the ideal confidence-builder for an anxious Danica Patrick and race team, JR Motorsports. Fellow driver Jacques Villeneuve put the brakes on that storyline when he chose not to use his own pads on the fabled Wisconsin raceway. In the final lap of the Sargento 200 in Elkh...

SiriusXM Speedway; Danica and Kyle
Posted on 16 May 2012 by Chris Demon.
If you are a NASCAR fan, you owe it to yourself to check out SiriusXM Speedway Hosted by Dave “The Godfather” Moody and Angie Skinner. I listen to about an hour out of the four that it is on. A half hour on the way to work during the live airing and a half hour on the way home during the replay. Its a talk radio show that take calls from armchair engineers and officials, woulda-co...

Danica Patrick vs Anna Kournikova
Posted on 1 Sep 2011 by Steven Keys.
She was the Danica Patrick of her day. In the late 90s it was Anna Kournikova who was turning heads. She did this as much with her strong court play as the ease with which she made a tennis skirt look so damn nice. Though at first blush Patrick and Kournikova might seem worlds apart. One, a Soviet born, blonde tennis pro; the other, a raven-haired, Midwestern race-car driver. But apples ‘n or...

NASCAR: Midseason Analysis
Posted on 6 Jul 2011 by Joseph Hopkins.
We're sitting sixteen races in, nineteen to go in the 2011 season. Before the season, I wrote a preview article on the best drivers of 2011: http://www.prosportsblogging.com/2011/02/03/top-20-nascar-drivers-of-2011/ It was pretty popular. I got more hits on that article than any other. It was also fun to write. So here's a sequal. You're going to find fast that my preseason picks had some big ...

EA Sports Was Garbage
Posted on 25 Mar 2011 by Joseph Hopkins.
I'm not really into gaming, but I have been suckered by EA Sports in my lifetime. I might be alone in saying this, but I can't stand their games. I've only owned three of EA's NASCAR titles: NASCAR 2005, 2007, and 2009. I actually just bought 2009 a week ago for $5. Because '09 is the most recent, I'll talk about that one. Complaints: -Every time there's a caution, nobody pits unless they're...

Gordon of Old Returns to Victory Lane… Rush to Return to Track
Posted on 28 Feb 2011 by Chris Demon.
Kyle Busch dominated the Truck and Nationwide races, and looked like he was getting the broom out for the weekend sweep. Enter Jeff Gordon. Gordon, who led the most laps of the day, looked like he was going to settle for second with 20 to go. After all, Kyle was unstoppable this weekend. Gordon chipped away at the lead and with 8 to go, he made the pass in Busch's strongest point of the track. ...

Daytona 500: Tony Kornheiser’s an Idiot Edition
Posted on 19 Feb 2011 by Joseph Hopkins.
The Daytona 500 It's Daytona 500 weekend! One of the best times of the year. It's nothing but beauty. Have something to be excited for on Sunday afternoons for the first time in a month and a half (at least if you're a Browns, Bills, or Lions fan). Spring time is right around the corner. With that said, nobody is more anxious than Junior Nation. I always admire Junior fans. They're tortured for...

Why the Chase is a Good Thing
Posted on 17 Nov 2010 by Chris Demon.
Should be settled at the end of the last race. November 21, 2010 will be a day where history is made. But for whom? For points leader Denny Hamlin, it could be his first Sprint Cup Series championship and also a first for Toyota. For second place Jimmie Johnson, it could be an unprecedented fifth straight championship. For third place Kevin Harvick, it could also be his first c...

Looking Shook in a Penalizing Loss
Posted on 8 Dec 2009 by Lea Anderson.
If you wanted a demonstration on how to cover receivers and defend well against the pass, the Monday Night Football game showcasing the Ravens visiting the Packers was not the game to watch. Point blank, the game was overshadowed with the amount of airtime the refs received as the Packers came out on top ,27-17. Last night, the Ravens came out as if the cold weather had shut down their abilit...
