Jeremy Mayfield is back. No, not on the track. He’s back in the news. Since it was announced that the NASCAR vs. Jeremy Mayfield court case won’t be going to trial until next year, little has been heard from Jeremy. And I’ll be honest, NASCAR life was so boring. I had writer’s block for weeks. I mean, it’s not like we had an exhilarating race to the Chase to keep an eye on or anything, right? Ok, so maybe we did. But still, when you go from having something big like the Mayfield saga to talk about every day, and then [...]

To all of you hard American workers, have a safe and Happy Labor Day! You folks have earned this day. Enjoy it!

It’s been a few weeks since we’ve had the Discussion. 2 to be exact. So it is with great pleasure that I welcome it back after a thrilling race in Atlanta. With the Chase cutoff race coming this weekend, we have a lot to talk about. So let’s get straight to it: Were you satisfied with the winner? Is night racing in Atlanta good or bad? What about changing its date? Talking about the Chase, which driver(s) currently 13th or worse will get into the top 12? Will any? Who will they knock out? Coming into Atlanta, Brian Vickers had [...]

Once again, a record number of players came out for Stock Car Spin Freeroll. This time, 16 players participated in Freeroll in Atlanta. But nobody could topple Yours Truly. Yes, despite the fact that Carl Edwards, Kurt Busch, and Joey Logano all earned me a combined 0 points, Hopper still took home 100 tokens. Crackberry finished second, and took home 25 tokens. Remember, those tokens can be used to get some awesome 365 Fantasy swagger… when the 365 Fantasy Store opens. Your standings at Atlanta: 1. Hopper 716 2. crackberry 678 3. planejane 616 4. MNwin 580 5. Underdogs 543 [...]

The other day, you read a story on this site in which I mentioned that Bobby Labonte was being replaced by Erik Darnell in the #96 car. That move has triggered a game of musical cars, a game nobody usually likes playing because, in the end, somebody always loses. Not this time. For those of you who are not familiar with the initial cause of this whole “game”, let me take you through everything that has happened step-by-step: Monday: Bobby Labonte is relieved of his driving duties in the #96 Ask.com Ford for 7 of the remaining 12 races. He is [...]

Have you ever heard the expression “40 is the new 30″? How about “30 is the new 20″? Well, I’ve got a little expression of my own. Road courses are the new short tracks. There. I said it. I know I’m going to get a lot of flack from my readers here, especially the die-hards. Now I know that most of you think that road courses don’t produce actual racing, and you are still clinging to those hopes that short track racing will return to its past glory. I know. I’m one of those guys that gets excited about short track [...]

The last 24 hours have been a vital part of the 2009 silly season events. Three big moves have been made, so let’s get straight to it. First, Bobby Labonte is out of the #96 Ask.com Ford. Sort of. Labonte will race the Yates/Hall of Fame Racing entry in 5 more races this season(Richmond, Dover, Fontana, Charlotte, and Martinsville), in all of which he has sponsorship from either Ask.com or DLP. For the remaining 7 races(Atlanta, New Hampshire, Kansas, Talladega, Texas, Phoenix, and Homestead) the team was previously unsponsored. However, with the announcement that Roush development driver Erik Darnell will [...]
