Crashing, banging, and traffic jams galore. Yes, ladies and gents, what I just described was quite simply what us racing fans like to refer to as Martinsville, and this weekend’s race in Virginia certainly lived up to that reputation.
Recap:
- Jeff Gordon leads the field from the pole position to begin the race.
- Tony Stewart started […]

It’s been no secret that Petty Enterprises hasn’t exactly been “leading the pack” over the course of their existence, with their “marquee” names over the years appearing as the likes of drivers such as Kyle Petty, Jeff Green, Johnny Benson, and so on and so on.

Joe Gibbs Racing has found itself sitting center stage for much of the gossip and controversy going on in motorsports for a good portion of the year – as it usually does. The difference for them in 2007, however, has been that it hasn’t all been directly linked to Tony Stewart’s on and off-track actions […]
As if all of the changes that have already been announced for the 2008 season weren’t enough to make your head spin, I’ve got one more for you.

Three weeks ago, the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series made its way to Kansas Speedway. At that time, Tony Stewart – driver of the no. 20 Home Depot Chevrolet owned by Joe Gibbs Racing – sat third in points, trailing current Chase leader Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson by less than 20 points. Stewart went into […]
Last year, Formula One superstar Juan Pablo Montoya announced that he would be leaving the reigns of open wheel racing to pursue a new career in stock car racing … NASCAR to be precise as he signed a multi-year deal to come racing for Chip Ganassi.
