Anyone who knows even a little about NASCAR knows that the driver of the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota, Tony Stewart, has no problem speaking his mind. That’s one of the reasons he’s my favorite driver. He tells it like it is, even when it’s not pretty.
He recently spoke out against...

Have you ever had your heart broken on Valentine’s Day? I have. This year, in fact. But it had nothing to with Cupid, or me choosing the wrong guy or anything like that. My heart was actually breaking for someone else – NASCAR’s independent driver, Stanton Barrett.

With just four races left, who is going to take home the Nextel Cup? Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, maybe even Tony Stewart? I know, I know, it would take a miracle for Smoke to bring it home, but hey, stranger things have happened.

I was recently reminded of the “hero” status of Dale Earnhardt Jr. The name sake of one of NASCAR’s greatest drivers has always been a crowd favorite. The fact that he hasn’t won a race in forever doesn’t seem to matter to his legion of loyal fans....

Why do so many race fans hate Jeff Gordon? Is it because he has more money than he’ll probably ever spend or could it be his “pretty boy” face? Is he really a whiner and a crybaby?
Love him or hate him, he has an amazing record that speaks for itself and now, after winning...

I'm still in shock. Michael Waltrip has the pole for Talladega tomorrow? Give me a break! And for that matter, Toyota has four of the top five pole positions. What's up with that?

In one of the biggest surprises in the history of NASCAR, Dale Earnhardt Jr. announced earlier this year he was leaving DEI, the racing operation founded by his late father. Who would have ever imagined the namesake of the great Intimidator would be driving for anyone other than DEI?
