When will Dale Earnhardt Jr. finally get a win in a points event?

A magical crystal ball is the only thing that can answer this question for sure. But a win for Junior could come as early as in two weeks at Talladega, or fans could be waiting until mid-summer. Juniors best shot for a win will most likely come in two weeks at Talladega. We have seen how Junior can drive on restrictor plate tracks. Now that Junior is paired up with Hendrick Motorsports, who always runs well at Talladega, Junior could be well on his way to a win.

What will be interesting to watch is how Junior works with his new teammates at Hendrick. If there is two laps to go and Jimmie Johnson is leading while Junior is in second, will he pull out and make a move? I cannot answer for Junior, but the answer will most likely be YES. He is starving for a win to make his fans happy and get the media circus off of his back.

Should NASCAR move back to the old car to make the racing more exciting?

The simple answer is NO. This COT platform has not even had a full season under its belt and fans are already saying that the racing is boring, so they demand for a change. You have to give these things some time. It’s not going to be an instant success.

Not only are the fans complaining, but some of the drivers want changes too. My message to the drivers is LIVE WITH IT. So the COT does not drive as well. You are being paid millions of dollars to drive a race car. Most people who take being a NASCAR driver for a living over working their current job any day. The drivers just need to live with the changes and get use to it. NASCAR has already announced they will not be making any changes to the COT in the near future.

It is new for some drivers that they actually have to drive the race car now, instead of leaving it up to the crew to fix when the car handles poorly.

Why did FOX Sports screw up the start of the Phoenix race?

Has FOX Sports hit a nerve with sports fans or what? This has been a topic of heated discussion all over the NASCAR and baseball forums. Some fans are furious. Most fans know by now that FOX Sports missed the waving of the green flag last Saturday night due to a rain delayed baseball game.

After doing some research on the situation here is what I found out. FOX Sports tried their best to please both NASCAR fans and baseball fans. But what actually happened was they made both side furious. You have to give FOX credit for trying to deliver good coverage to both sides.

What is amazing is what some fans are saying on the internet. We missed a half lap of racing. Most people miss more than that by taking a bathroom break or getting something to eat. Would it have been nice to see the pre-race activities? Yes it would have. But it is not the end of the world. FOX didn’t cause physical harm to anyone.

FOX Sports is human. They made a mistake. We all make mistakes, and we learn from them. Trust me. FOX has learned a big lesson after last weekends debacle.
