Rating the Race: Fontana, CA - Auto Club 500

 
After a long, wet, and miserable weekend for racing fans at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA, fans filled the seats for 87 laps on Sunday – 27 of which were spent under caution and multiple red flags – only to be told in the early hours of the morning that competition would not […]

Rating the Race: Daytona 500

After all the hype, all the anticipation, and all the guessing that led us up to the drop of the green flag for the 50th running of the Daytona 500, laps 20 through 150 nearly put me to sleep. The race started with Michael Waltrip jumping out in front of defending series champion Jimmie Johnson […]

Rating the Race: Phoenix

Was it a decent race? Sure … if you take away the fact that I’ve been relegated to watching two guys that dislike equally battle back and forth for the Championship coupled with one of those two drivers running absolutely running rampant over the rest of the field for four straight races now. So, what […]

Am I really the only person that finds these Texas races completely and utterly boring?  Despite being absolutely wide awake when I first tuned into the race on Sunday, I literally dozed off about four or five times during the course of this 500 mile “spectacle”. The time that I did spend awake, the only […]

Rating the Race: Atlanta

Another “race in the Chase”, and another Hendrick win. If you’re a Jimmie Johnson fan or a Jeff Gordon fan, I’m sure that this year has provided you with one of the most entertaining Championship runs in recent memory – especially since NASCAR rolled out with their current playoff format. However, I am in no […]

Rating the Race: Martinsville

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 […]

Rating the Race: Lowe’s

Jimmie Johnson dominates the early portion of the race – just has he has at Lowe’s so many times before – only to take a spin in the latter laps with absolutely no help from anyone. Tony Stewart came from the back of the pack to get himself up into the Top 5 only to […]

Rating the Race: Talladega

Historically, Talladega has been one of those tracks that will either live up to its potential in providing some of the best hard-nosed, hardcore racing of the season … or, it will put you to sleep.  Yet, somehow yesterday’s race fell somewhere right in the middle.  Don’t get me wrong, it was a pretty decent […]
