Fantasy Preview: California

When I think of Fontana, CA, it doesn’t necessarily strike me as a track absolutely dominated by Hendrick Motorsports. Do they own the best track record there over the last few years? Of course they do. But, just about everytime the series visits here, you can also count on the fact that the Hendrick drivers […]

The buzz in the garage area and in the media prior to Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Daytona was all about – you guessed it – Dale Earnhardt Jr. The crew for Junior’s no. 5 Chevy tinkered with the deck lift after the initial round of inspections and were soon caught, causing him to start […]

Season Preview: Hendrick Motorsports

At this point, I’m not really sure what can be said about Rick Hendrick and Hendrick Motorsports that hasn’t already been stated a million times by now. It’s safe to say that Rick hasn’t built race teams or simply just an organization, he’s crafted and molded together a dynasty in oh, roughly twenty years time. […]

Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson have been docked 100 points each, and their crew chiefs suspended for six races, as a result of technical violations discovered during inspections before last weekend’s race at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma.

Can Dale Jr. Win Immediately With New Team?

Next year at this time, I wonder how Dale Jr. will be doing with his new team. He’s going to have his own personal expectations driving him, but you can bet that Rick Hendrick will be applying his own type of pressure, just to keep Dale Jr. focused.
Can Dale Jr. win in short order next […]

What Would Dale Sr. Think?

With the entire racing world consumed with the Hendricks-Dale Jr. saga, I have to wonder, what would Dale Sr. think about all of this? Yes, it’s a hypotheical question, but it’s still worth thinking about. Obviously, if Dale Sr. was still alive, Dale Jr. would still be at DEI…or would he?
That’s a tough question to […]
