Our own Trixie, of Trixie’s Trailer Park may be too humble to promote her own blog here, so I will do it for her. Her Talladega preview, takes the interesting tack of comparing Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kyle Busch in “#18 vs #88″

The talk so far this season, in my opinion, has been about Kyle Busch and Dale Jr.  Both drivers moved from their prospective teams to new teams this season.  Both of the moves were interrelated to one another…read more

Mike, of Trouble in Turn 2 is always a good read, as he shows in this review of the season so far

Eight Races down in the 2008 Sprint Cup season. what have we learned so far? Here’s four simple things to nibble on while we wait for Talladega this weekend…read more

Monte Dutton explains why NASCAR needs to change its drug policy without it seeming as though NASCAR is covering something up:

To this point, NASCAR officials have eschewed random testing of drivers, crew members, owners, etc. The policy is based on “suspicion.” If that’s a road NASCAR wants to take, it should be done responsibly. If suspicion exists, anyone who is accused ought to have the right to confront his accuser. A policy based on suspicion should be aboveboard and not based on innuendo. All the facts should be laid out to prevent the perception of dishonesty and impropriety…read more

And he tells us that “The Kids Didn’t Really Have It Made”

It’s a myth that the modern stars of NASCAR didn’t pay their dues.

Sure, they’re young. They’re just as experienced, though. The path started earlier. A kid who takes his first green flag in a go-kart at age five has plenty of experience by the time he reaches 18…read more

Marc of Full Throttle keeps us up to date on those juicy Formula One back stories that put any thing Jack Roush says about Lee White, or visa versa, to shame:

Flash back with me to the 1995 F1 season, a year that followed a very controversial 1994 that saw many “scandals” and the lost of the great Aryton Senna…read more

With all the rumors floated in the past two weeks over Fernando’s potential plans for the 2009 F1 championship I guess Ferrari’s president Luca di Montezemolo took all he could stand and had to have a few words…read more

We were a little late finding this, but it is still good reading from Answer This:

Off-road racer Beccy Gordon is no stranger to being quick on the gas and hard on the brake as she tries to out-race her opponents…read more 

Charlie Turner, of On Pit Row, makes a worthy argument as to why Kyle Busch may be the best driver in NASCAR

Scott Pruett is 48 and has had a long successful career in just about anything with wheels. Juan Pablo is an Indy 500 and Formula One Grand Prix winner. Kyle Busch, at something like 22, is already a 27 time winner in NASCAR’s top three series. That’s amazing!…read more

Be sure to stop by In The Pits, where Tiredawg has some worthy praise for Danica Patrick and Kyle Busch, as well as some great photos…read more

Finally, a worthy review of Direct TV’s NASCAR HotPass, from Amy’s Bad Groove

Last season DirecTV offered a special HOTPASS package with the chase races only and I signed up for it. I was kind of unimpressed with it so at the end of the season I cancelled it. But then I found myself with a little extra money and I was kind of missing HotPass so I reordered it before the start of this season…read more

And a review of a worthy book on Rev’ Jim’s RantsnRaves

Dale Earnhardt called her “Little Higgins,” after the veteran NASCAR reporter for the Charlotte Observer, Tom Higgins. As he got to know her better, she became “Liz.” As a sports reporter for The Washington Post, USA Today, and The Charlotte Observer, Liz Clarke probably spent more time with The Intimidator than any other journalist…read more
