2007-06-08 20:31:00 Does NASCAR?s penalty on Kurt Busch after Dove r pit road incident fit the crime?So by now, most of us have heard the news of just what penalty Kurt Busch has received after last Monday?s incident on pit road between Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch were after an on track crash between Stewart and Busch resulted in both hitting the outside wall, Busch then processed down pit road to where Tony Stewart?s pit was where a crew member was standing on the rightside of the #20 suddenly had to jump on the hood of the #20 as Kurt Busch skidded in to Stewart?s pit next to Stewart to have a talk with Stewart about his actions during running of the Dover 400.The penalty was NASCAR docked Kurt Busch 100 driver points, fined $100,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31, 2007, plus Roger Penske was docked 100 owner points.Now, also on Friday, From SPEED's Friday Practice Broadcast: Jeff Hammond talked to John Darby & Robin Pemberton and the way they said it was between being parked at Dover (...

Martin Truex Jr. wins an action-packed Autism Speaks 400 at Dover
2007-06-04 22:49:00 Before I get into this action-packed 400 miler at Dove r, some sad news as NASCAR pioneer Bill France Jr. passed away earlier today. (read more..)Yeah that title does say it all (in this my 400th post...), after a rain postponed race, Monday brought cloud cover, but no rain for this one and what a race this one turned out to be in the sixth Car of Tomorrow race and for the most part it made for even better racing as it has in the past five races.Amazingly enough there was very few caution flags during this one, but no late race caution, NASCAR did throw two competition cautions at the beginning of this one for tire ware issues (no rubber on track) which in both cases sent everyone to the pits for tires. Really there were only a couple of COT issues in something about shock mounts and running the tires down to the cord.Two things really made this one, first was the incident between Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart that came to a head after racing in a pack for several laps and coming up of...

Which was the most interesting race to watch?Monaco Grand Prix, Indy 500 or
2007-05-30 08:50:00 What a question to lay out right off the bat, this just happened to be the WindTunnel question of week and it inspired me to go deeper on that very subject. When I look at this past Sunday?s triple elite header of three of the top races all season long that begun at 7:30am, east coast time and went all the way to 10:28PM, the first thing that comes to mind was that?perfect, three huge historical races and a large plain pizza.I have to admit that the day started off for me at 10am, instead of 7:30am with watching Formula 1?s Monaco Grand Prix via taped delayed thanks to a DVR. I don?t know why, but I really like this race, maybe it?s the course, the layout is so tight, up and down and around even tighter city streets some coming very close to the marina or maybe it?s the history, what every the case, I look forward to a couple of races all season long and this one is number one followed by Canadian GP and of course USGP. With all that said, there is not really much to tell unlike las... More About: Watch , Interesting , Race , Indy 500 , Indy
First impressions of FOX's On The Lot
2007-05-30 08:37:00 In a world of blogging about NASCAR and Automobiles, its time for a little something different for me, I enjoy movie, mainly DVD's and HBO, so this... Fox's newest reality filmmaking show called "On The Lot" got my attention. First impressions were they have an interesting concept, I don't know how Fox does there American Idol show in terms of two nights with a result show, but this one the concept is good, but they try to create more drama for the people going home then they really need and the timing of the breaks suck.I starting watching this one on the first night with 50 contestants going for the top prise of a dream job at Dreamworks Pictures. The elimination process was quick, the first two night with 50 to start with pitching a new show, making a short film in groups of three with each director getting judged on a seen they shoot and more. From 50 to 36 and down to 18 for last Monday's show and after last night's results show, 3 more went home as well. Now you get to se...

Who should qualify for the NEXTEL All-Star Challenge?
2007-05-25 09:03:00 Wow, its only two days before one of the biggest motorsports days of year and its really simple as to what I am talking about, Sunday? starting in the morning with Formula 1 racing in Monaco, followed by one of The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, the Indianapolis 500 and to rap things up, none other than a 600 mile NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race, the Coca-Cola 600.Now I pose the question above, last weekends Nextel All-Star Challenge resulted in the Windtunnel question of the week, who should qualify for the All-Star race? I noticed that one of the past all-star race winners was not in the race, in 1996, Michael Waltrip won the all-star race and despite the fact that Michael Waltrip is driving for a different team namely his own, he won the all-star race 11 years ago and should have automatically been in the all-star race no questions asked.In addition to past winners, any year, the field should also include drivers who have won a race the past year and that year as well, followed by p...

TV Spotlight: The Network?s UpFronts and Series Finale Aftermath ? Part Two
2007-05-23 08:11:00 Two days later? Why is The CW calling last night?s episode of Veronica Mars a season finale? They said it on the show itself and on there website, that makes no since to me, is it cancelled or not? Well despite that, if it is cancelled, I will miss this one, its just interesting watch a beautiful women solve interesting case and in this season finale she did just that, but one could wonder on the ending, what?s the results. Mars charged?Veronica captured and who needs help next?that?s a way to end a series.Finally Gilmore Girls on The CW, Its sad to see this one go, I?ve watched all of the episodes with the help of course of abc family channel because I came in only a couple of years ago, but what a show. This season was off from the very beginning with the whole Christopher-Lorelai storyline of them getting married, but despite that, this one finished the way it should have with the entire town celebrating Rory?s graduation from college and Lorelai finally getting back together wit...

TV Spotlight: The Network?s UpFronts and Series Finale Aftermath ? Part One
2007-05-21 08:06:00 Last week in terms of television was a huge roller coaster ride, I would imagine not just for me. At the beginning of the week, meaning Monday, I was interested in seeing just what my 2007-2008 fall television schedule was going to look and I never could have imagine that by weeks end it would have been so disappointing and through in the last minute series finales when I was expecting only season finales, it hurt.Let?s start simply with the Network s Upfront packages from New York City, I will get into the Series Finale ?s later in this multi-part edition.CBS started thinks off with a bang, naming canceling three of my four shows that are on my Tivo list including Close to Home. Basically the only show that remains on the fall schedule is Survivor. Survivor in China, that?s a huge first, but considering where they have been in the past, this one should be just as interesting. I just wonder what vehicle will be given away this time, I not much for a Ford Super Duty from last year, but... More About: Spotlight , Part
New PR Shots of the Camaro Convertible Concept and Beat Concept, plus thoug
2007-05-20 01:04:00 Last week, Chevrolet released some new PR shots of two concepts that were on display at last months New York Auto Show, the Chevrolet Camaro Convert ible Concept and the Chevy Beat Concept. Both of these look good, but are two completely different vehicles from each other, one being a legend reborn sports car and the other is a new small car concept.Since last month's New York Auto Show, I have been thinking of just what was the winners and the losers of the show.For Chevrolet, they unveiled three new concepts and while the Chevy Grove and Trax didn?t interest me much, this 2007 Chevy Beat Concept looks very interesting in two ways, one being that if its anything like a Scion xb meaning good mph with lots of upgrades for more horsepower, torque and look plus the size of the front seats could be a domestic two-door version of the 2006 Scion xB and second is it looks like the 06 Chevy WTCC Ultra Concept and that?s interesting?looks good if its good enough room for me upfront like the ...

Dale Earnhardt Jr. docked 100 points for what?
2007-05-16 09:15:00 What? (According to NASCAR.com) Dale Earnhardt Jr. was docked 100 points Tuesday, and his crew chief, Tony Eury Jr., was fined $100,000 and suspended for six races for an illegal rear mounting part on the #8 Budweiser Chevy COT at Darlington Raceway.I need to think about this, I will repost this one later.One note, I ask everyone to really think about this penalty fully including getting all of the info on it first before commenting on it,Marc at Full Throttle has an update on it including this memo: "NASCAR, however, sent a March 21 memo outlining penalties for specific infractions on the Car of Tomorrow and specifically listed fines of $100,000, points deductions and suspension.?

2007-05-16 05:04:00 Damn, before I get to the results, I have to say that this one was interesting. In the beginning I really didn't get into this series all that much, but one by one as teams were elimated and a combination of the stages and the challenges got harder, the show got more interesting and I began watching a couple of teams more and more being the american muscle being the Trans-Am, Charger and F-150 to put names out there. The show reminds me of Survivor and Big Brother which I watch regular, they did a good job, the challenges at times were a little over the top, but if there is another race, I'll watch it...What about this past episode, damn, I have to say, Team Olds making the 2 hour pitstop to fix there brakes really messed up one team from winner and when in the last challenge, Team Olds won over Team F-150, I know it was over for the big ford, but they made up lots of time, but it was down to Team Olds and the fast Team Trans-Am, in the end despite the F150's better time getting ...

My Take: Dale Jr?s announcement on leaving DEI at the end of season and his
2007-05-14 19:42:00 This one his hit me with a little bit of shocking and disappointing as I am a Dale Earnhardt Jr. fan. So here it is, last Thursday morning at his JR Motorsports shop, Dale Jr made a statement and answered questions as he announced that after a year of talks with DEI about a new contract, he has decided to explore other options and he is a free agent.I watched this press conference live on SPEED that morning and at first I was disappointed, but after thinking about it, I am also excited to see Jr. move on to another team and put himself into a position to once again win races and win a championship. For right now, DEI just doesn?t work for him right now.So what is Dale Jr?s options for 2008 and beyond, I have been reading and listening to all of the talk on this and his options are simple as he laid out during his announcement.1. Drive for a Top Tier Team, hopefully under the Chevrolet banner.2. Drive for a Second Tier Team hopefully under the Chevrolet banner.3. Last option, Start h...

Charger goes home and now the final run to the border in Spiketv's Bullrun.
2007-05-09 21:38:00 Like I said last week, I have been watching this one from the beginning and in each of the last couple of weeks episodes, people are starting to get the clue that there are just three teams left in the running for the $200 Thousand Dollars.Last night was even more out there, one thing I didn't understand was after the Charger ran in the challenge and came up with a bad time due to a problem with the carb, what was next..and team olds had no brakes, so a deal could have been made with in exchange for brake fluid, they would let the Charger run again. I can see both sides of it, team olds had a bad time (second edition of Team Lotus's killer arrow as I call it) and they had a chance to get alot of time back or get working brakes to really run the last race with being able to win because they are the best. Who knows, that's the game.Sad to see the Charger go home, they were the better team over team olds, but stuff does happen, now its off to the final run to the border for the vict...

Just a few words on the Crown Royal 400 at Richmond after being postponed.
2007-05-06 23:04:00 So the Crown Royal 400 at Richmond for the Nextel Cup Series just finished up a couple minutes ago with Jimmie Johnson winning with his Hendrick Teammates dominated this race thought, I did notice something with the Hendrick cars including Johnson's, his right front tire is cambered in/out - meaning the top of the tire is leaned in so much with the bottom only looking like the inside is touching at all...interesting.Nevertheless, by the end of this race, most of these cars looked like they just finished a Demo Derby.Should NASCAR make the COT permanent in 2008? Simply put, YES, still I would like to see NASCAR add a couple more races to the COT schedule this year including the fall Charlotte, Atlanta and Homestead races to show everyone just what this car is going to be like.I would also like to see the COT in the Nextel AllStar Challenge at Charlotte in a couple of weeks too, but that's little notice for everyone.I am beginning to like this Car of Tomorrow for its good racing and...

Finally someone has gotten NASCARs attention on the subject of phantom caut
2007-05-02 03:27:00 For the last couple of years now, NASCAR fans have been talking about what is commonly referred to as phantom cautions and even some drivers including Kyle Petty and Matt Kenseth have commented too on these phantom cautions only they called them entertainment cautions, including Kyle Petty saying ?If it helps for better racing, then the more the better and that its all about entertaining the fans?, but despite those comments, until now, NASCAR has not really had any reaction. Fast forward to last Tuesday's comments made by Tony Stewart on his weekly satellite radio show in which Stewart had a lot to say about debris cautions including using the words ?god, wrestling and the integrity of the sport? and the difference is, NASCAR had a reaction, a huge reaction so much that a 6am Friday morning meeting at Talladega was mandatory, following that meeting with a trip to the media center were the media say a completely different Tony Stewart.

800hp biodiesel 65 Chevy Impala on Pimp My Ride..
2007-04-28 06:14:00 Last night on a special episode of Pimp My Ride , viewers and fans saw a 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS go from a normal classic into a custom 800hp Biodiesel street car as part of MTV's Break the Addiction program. This was on the first cars in a while that I liked on this show, so much so that I would want something like it as my daily driver or classic. I like the concept, the technology, the look, the entire package and the fact that this impala can go 0 to 60 in around 3.5 seconds, plus get 25 mpg to boot (according to the show). All I can say is, you will see more cars like this either with Biodiesel, Natural gas, ethanol, a hybrid and etc. and that's cool.Gallery from GAS - Galpin Auto Sports: Articles on this subject..- Autobloggreen- MTV ThinkmtvSee Yeah!

Days later after NASCAR race in Phoenix...thoughts
2007-04-28 05:34:00 Sometimes it helps to think about a subject for a couple of days after I wrote this piece on Wednesday and yet I have still come to the same conclusion. Here?s where I am, on last Saturday night, NASCAR fans saw a good race in Phoenix with COT?s between Gordon, Stewart and Hamlin which also showed Gordon moving Stewart out of the way and going on to victory, no surprise there and he even said it in victory lane.Now I had no idea that Jeff Gordon had tied Earnhardt?s record and then I saw Gordon driving around with a #3 Earnhardt flag including fans throwing beer cans and etc at him and I was shocked, of course once I heard that Gordon had tied Earnhardt?s record, well I understood it a little more.., but like I said before, I had took it in and then moved on by Sunday morning. Since the Earnhardt family including Dale Jr. was cool with it, so was I and that it?Now I would have rather seen a tribute to the great Dale Earnhardt this Sunday at Talladega before the race and if Gordon is...

A few words on NASCAR under the lights in Phoenix and What?s up with Gordon
2007-04-25 21:20:00 It always seems to be something that over shadows the race whether it happened before, during or after and for the Nextel Cup series last Saturday night, this race no expection.Before I get to one of the most talked about subjects regarding of course Jeff Gordon , what about the race itself. Looking back at the Subway 500..k, finally NASCAR fans get to see just what the Car of Tomorrow can do on a mile racetrack. Before, the COT was on two tracks that really didn?t make a difference namely Bristol, where you can race just about anything on wheels and get a good race and Martinsville, a short paper clip on the same effects, but for Phoenix , it does take a little more to put on a good show.The racing under the light is a bonus for this race, but the COT does continue to impress me race after race with producing good racing, namely side-by-side racing and real passing for not only the lead, but all the way back in the pack despite the fact that its still ugly.

A breakdown of the NASCAR Nextel Cup Spring Texas Race.
2007-04-18 00:04:00 Burton win Spring Texas race in great fashion. (Image Credit: Motorsport.com)What an interesting race, for what looked like was going to be a long and drawn out 500 mile race with a couple of lead changes with big leads, this race sure had a change in fortunes not even counting the lap 1-2 air born crash on the front strength and it all happened with Stewart and Montoya racing hard for position.On lap 240, the first of a huge change in fortunes took place just after racing hard for position, Montoya drove down deep into turn 3 on the inside of Stewart, got loose and slipped up into the #20 car and Stewart spun out which collected Jimmie Johnson (which was already having engine problems) sending them both to the pits, Johnson was out and Stewart repaired and came back out.Don?t see Tony Stewart at fault here, you can either mark this as Montoya?s fault or like am, a racing deal.

My Take on the IRL Indy Car Series and Champ Car World Series ? 2007 Season
2007-04-11 22:35:00 A couple of weeks ago, the IRL Indy Car Series kicked its 2007 season first in Homestead and then on the Streets of St. Petersburg. Basically despite all of the off season movement including Danica Patrick going to AGR, the season is vertically the same as the 2006 season that includes back to back victories with first Dan Wheldon winning in Homestead in dominating fashion as he did in 06 and Castroneves winning in St. Petersburg as he did in 06 as well.The 2007 season looks to be a complete model of last season. The same four drivers are going for the victories and making a run at the championship while the rest of field watches and wonders from behind as a cloud of smoke blows by them.I would say predictions would be a little bit pointless, but here we go?For race to race victories with the expection of three-four races, it will come down to Penske Racing with Sam Hornish Jr. (last years champion after a tie breaker) and Helio Castroneves, vs. the boys at Ganassi Racing with Dan W...

Let's be honest here, as much as I was a big fan of 7th Heaven, the CW should have either never have brought it back or just did a three-four part mini series ending it all correctly, either way would have been better than just bring it back just to cut it up and dump it.

Racing in Martin sville is like what drivers say it is entertainment and it was.Most Cup races do have that time when everything is long and drawn out and this race was no expectation, but after the rain delay, this race turned into a 150 lap sprint race on who had a better tires. This race is always know for its bumping and banging with just trying to pass someone that proved itself on the last 10 laps with Jeff Gordon fighting to pass the leader Jimmie Johnson for the victory, but despite trying everything including hitting from behind, even knocking Johnson into the wall and just plain roughing him up, Johnson still would not let his boss by and picked up the victory once again and all Gordon could do was get out of his Impala ...
