Race Without Lights (And Other Insane All Star Ideas)

NASCAR's All Star race is celebrating its 24th birthday. So much has changed since the very first event. Back in 1985 the Cup champion Darrell Waltrip earned $1.3 million for his entire season. - 5/16/2008  9:28:55 AM

Lowes Motor Speedway All-Star (Rundown and Info)

Last year it looked as if Jeff Gordon had something on Kevin Harvick when he had a tire go down. Jimmie Johnson got a good run on Harvick on the final lap, but was not able to make the pass with Mark Martin in third. - 5/16/2008  9:27:14 AM

The Chase Pretty Much Locked After Charlotte

You probably expect to see a lot of the usual suspects in the Chase every year and possibly a surprise or two in or out, but did you know how early in the season those drivers seemed to be locked in? If you hear any of the drivers talking about needing to have a good points weekend at Charlotte, there’s a lot more riding on it than you might think. - 5/16/2008  12:03:15 AM

Curing What Ails the Nationwide Series

Great racing is great racing but I am starting to get tired of this Cup attack on the Nationwide Series level. Cup-lite is not what this series should be about but it is what we have evolved into. - 5/15/2008  6:26:30 AM

Making Peace With Kyle Busch

I have decided, after much soul searching, that I need to figure out a way to accept, if not love, Kyle Busch. Seeing that he just turned 23 years old and most of today's drivers feel like they can race competitively until at least age 40, he will most likely be racing long after I am around to criticize him. - 5/15/2008  6:25:48 AM

Repaved Darlington Shows Importance Of TV

In all honesty, my first visit to Darlington Raceway reminded me of my first time covering a North Carolina basketball game. It was Bill Guthridge's first year as coach, and you couldn't help but feel like you barely missed something and lamented not getting there sooner. - 5/15/2008  6:18:54 AM

NASCAR Top 10 Power Rankings: Darlington

Kyle Busch: Despite a loose lug nut problem that dropped him to 23rd on lap 141, Busch recovered to win handily in Darlington, his third win this year, then took a bow to a chorus of boos. Busch, in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota sporting the new Indiana Jones movie paint scheme, peppered the Darlington walls often, seemingly using them less as a barrier and more as a guide. - 5/15/2008  7:23:13 PM

Gordon can relate to Kyle Busch’s unpopularity

Jeff Gordon knows a thing or three about being cast in the role of villain by NASCAR fans. The guy has spent his whole Sprint Cup career being the object of scorn and derision by the ticket-buying public. - 5/14/2008  10:08:26 AM
