If you’re looking for a driver to pull for in tonight’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Darlington, I’d highly recommend Scott Lagasse Jr. Lagasse and his Baker Curb Racing team are supporting the American Red Cross and the flood relief efforts in Nashville, Tennessee by running a special paint scheme(seen above) in tonight’s Royal Purple 200. Baker Curb Racing also placed some information on their website about how you can help the flood victims. To help out, you can do the following: ” Visit www.nashvilleredcross.org and click DONATE NOW to make an online gift ” Mail a check to the [...]

The first “Are you kidding me” or “Double-u Tee Eff” moment of 2010 has happened, and Jimmie Johnson is a part of it. In fact, he pretty much is it. Jimmie Johnson was given the first-quarter “Driver of the Year” award for his performance thus far in 2010. The award is not just available to NASCAR drivers, but to drivers of every racing series all over the world. Johnson beat out Indycar stand-out Will Power, NHRA beast John Force, and fellow NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin. Now let’s compare these drivers for just a moment, and you’ll see why J.J. maybe shouldn’t have [...]

In honor of the grand opening of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Jimmie Johnson will be running a special decal commemorating one of the HoF inductees at Darlington. The late Bill France Sr., founder of NASCAR, is going to be honored with a special decal, which will be carried on the deck-lid of Johnson’s #48 Lowe’s Chevrolet. France is the only inductee thus far to be commemorated by a decal. Not even Richard Petty, who owns a four-car team in NASCAR, or Dale Earnhardt, whose son still races in NASCAR, are being commemorated. The grand opening is set for Tuesday, May 11. [...]

Indycar diva Danica Patrick made it a goal of hers to be competitive in NASCAR, America’s No. 1 spectator sport. The problem: She didn’t want to fully commit to it. Instead, Patrick wanted to focus on the Indycar series, which she has stolen the spotlight of, but has never really had the success of most of the other drivers in the series. So how is that Indycar thing working out for Danica this year? Not too well. After 5 races, Patrick sits 16th in the standings, with just 1 top 10. She has no wins, and no top 5s. Now, [...]

How hot was the action Saturday night in Richmond? The debris on the track was literally catching fire! So which drivers were hot like the debris on the track, and who had their fire put out? We’ve got you covered! Hot: Kyle Busch. Happy birthday Kyle! Rowdy celebrated his birthday a day early by dominating and winning his first race of the season. Oh, by the way, blue smoke is good. Not: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Junior looked like the Junior of old in Richmond. No, not the Junior of “really old”, just old; like last-year old. Hot: Jeff Gordon. Gordon lost [...]
