NASCAR NOTES 2009 (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/818671-NASCAR-NOTES-2009 Wednesday Night...once a year. It's like Christmas in Summer. The trucks take to the high-banked mixing bowl and provide entertainment as the sun sets over my house--in the middle of the week! I don't know what's so special about a Wednesday night Truck battle, but it is. And just to spice things up, Speed will be broadcasting the Whela...[Read Full Post] Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:08:23 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/664287 There's been a familiar #3 circling the tracks of the Camping World East Series for the past few years. Nobody has made much noise about the black car...I wonder why that is? Anyway, the driver is Richard Childress' grandson, Austin Dillon, and he does OK. Not amazing...he didn't have much for Joey Logano, but there's been steady impro...[Read Full Post] Sat, 15 Aug 2009 11:36:35 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/663713 Hey ya'll. It's been an eternity! I'm still writing my weekly commentary over at The Frontstretch every Tuesday. AND this season I've been writing a racing mystery. Blue Smoke and Burnt Rubber has been appearing in the Fronstretch newsletter every Friday. Hopefully Frontstretch.com will get a facelift soon and the entire story will b...[Read Full Post] Sun, 09 Aug 2009 01:48:15 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/662839 Yes, my weekly column is still appearing every Tuesday. Just join the above Google Group! But this piece I feels needs to be given to the NASCAR public. Just click on: [Link To Item #1388745] and enjoy! Catch ya'll later Fri, 15 Feb 2008 20:04:56 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/567904 Will NOT be running in the Newsletter. Look for Sitting in the Stands with S.D. Grady on the website! [Link: 'http://www.frontstretch.com'] I can't believe I'm backing Robby Gordon up this week, but I am! Read tomorrow's article to find out why! Mon, 06 Aug 2007 22:09:02 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/526301 Whoever you are...reading my archives Still, it's nice to know somebody is reading. Thanks! So, what's on my mind? If you checked in at the Frontstretch Newsletter today, you know what I think of the current Race to the Chase...yawn! Oh, sorry. Didn't really mean that. What remains the most riveting story is DEI. Yes, ...[Read Full Post] Tue, 31 Jul 2007 21:47:24 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/525005 Didn't recognize too drivers many, did ya? Was it boring? NO. Exciting? YES For once we got a peek at the crop of up and comers. Rookies made rookie mistakes. Cars were hard to drive. Tires shredded. Still, far more entertaining than almost any other Busch race this season! (save for the Mexico City road race...that was awesome.) Yes, the...[Read Full Post] Sun, 22 Jul 2007 16:31:17 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/522933 for Indy. Why? you ask. Economics. Micheal Waltrip Racing is fighting to keep its head above water. When you don't even make the race...it doesn't matter much who is driving it. Indy offers one of the highest purses in the NASCAR calendar. By cashing in on Terry's Past Champs Provisional, the #55 is guaranteed to start and guarantee...[Read Full Post] Wed, 18 Jul 2007 21:27:26 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/522198 is heading over to Ginn Racing as the other driver for the Mark Martin #01 Army car. Good move? I'm not so sure. Aric has been moving up slowly through the Gibbs development program. While I was suitably impressed by his ability at Milwaukee a few weeks ago, I'm not so confident he belongs in a Cup ride right now...especially in a team that...[Read Full Post] Wed, 18 Jul 2007 21:20:33 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/522195 What's on my mind this week? Not Tony Stewart. His little diatribe about Denny Hamlin deserves no more airplay. That's just Tony being the whiny little boy he has proven himself to be time and again. I'm not enthralled with the new TV coverage. Why not? Check out the Frontstretch Newsletter tomorrow and find out I know. ...[Read Full Post] Mon, 09 Jul 2007 22:18:16 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/520227
