I’m curious about how people ‘research’ and use stats to handicap NASCAR. There’s so much information out there and it can be interpreted in a multitude of ways, but which is most useful?
Life-time stats? COT stats? Practice times? Qualifying position? Current point standing? Crew chief reports? Track type? Personal life? They all play a role [...]
Hey there! Long time no see!
All I can say is a busy lifestyle makes for a bad blogger…[some highlights interspersed below].
So with no further ado…here are some random thoughts on Saturday nights race at Chicagoland.
There’s alot of talk about this being a good track for ‘Happy’ Harvick…he carried some good speed in P2, but i’m [...]

However the average speed per lap is 92mph, meaning driver’s straight away speeds are about 150mph. All this equates to braking, a lot of braking.

It’s no secret I’ve said Dale Jr. needs a new crew chief for several races now. I’ve been stating that before it became fashionable this year.
The question isn’t about the talent of either cousin. The question is, can they merge their talent into a successful team? The answer, so far, seems to be [...]
The fishbowl has come and gone, here are some of my random thoughts and highlights from Sunday:
Another Busch brother win, making three in a row. Can they match their four from last year? Kyle has the best chance at this, Martinsville is Kurt’s worst track.
Jeff Gordon continues to run strong and [...]
Welcome to the fish bowl…my nickname for Bristol…where we are once again confounded by ‘Wrinkled Raisin Man’ a.k.a. Mark Martin [thanks for the moniker Jansen55!!!]
Oh the dilemma! He sits on the pole! Again!
Uhmmm, he did in Atlanta too, and look what that got us! A big fat 31st! In fact, over [...]
