Another Martinsville race, another Jimmie Johnson victory. The pilot of the #48 Lowe’s Chevy has now won 5 of the last 6 races at the track. They might as well rename the joint Jimmieville (Johnsonville reminds me too much of sausage…and not the hot dogs that the track is famous for). Denny Hamlin put in [...]
Some more short track bumpin’ and bangin’ is on tap for this weekend as the Cup Series makes the short trip east (from Bristol) to Martinsville. This track may be close to the same length as Bristol, but it’s a whole different race. Martinsville has long straights and tight corners, without alot of banking. This puts good [...]

Well we’re four races in, and one thing is becoming quite clear. The Blue Deuce is going to be a factor this season. It looks like the new Dodge engine the Penske squad is running, is money on the intermediate speedways. It didn’t matter who he was running down, or who was trying to run [...]
Hotlanta is the site of this week’s Sprint Cup Series event. Atlanta Motor Speedway is another one of the 1.5 mile ‘cookie cutter’ type tracks, similar to last week’s track at Vegas, but without the progressive banking. Of the past 9 races at the track, 7 have been won by the three pre-season favourites for [...]
