NASCAR’s System Flawed?

 
First off, I’d like to apologize for getting this week’s “DYN Imposes” topic out a day late. With the extended weekend out in Fontana, I didn’t have much time to prepare anything for Tuesday, and this week’s topic is one that I wanted to give the proper justice rather than rushing it. With everything that’s […]

‘08 Daytona Not Shy on Drama

Heading into the 50th running of NASCAR’s “Great American Race”, this year’s Daytona 500 has already proven to us beyond a shadow of a doubt that this track is not shy when it comes to both hype and the ability to produce storylines. The 2008 Sprint Cup season has been one of the most talked […]
