Some feuds are manufactured just for TV audiences. Some involve deep, personal issues that are not fully understood by anyone outside the immediate circumstance. And some feuds are just what they seem to be.
Brad Keselowski and Carl Edwards are the Hatfields and McCoys of the NASCAR circuit. As far as I can tell, they were nothing more and nothing less than two guys who happened to compete in the same sport until Talladega 2009. Keselowski, who had at that point never won a Cup race, gave Edward’s car a little nudge – into the fence – on his way

Nationwide Series: Gateway
July 20th, 2010 - by Ronald A. Rowe | NASCAR
Regular readers know that I'm strictly a Sprint Cup guy. It is rare for me to spend a couple of my Saturday hours watching a Nationwide race.
But this was one of those rare, unfortunate weeks with no Sprint Cup race, so I settled in for my weekly NASCAR fix. I have to admit the Nationwide race, at least this week, had everything that a Sprint Cup race has - just less of it. About 250 miles less.
Saturday night's race was everything that we've come to expect from NASCAR. Great drivers hauling around the track at ridiculous speeds? Check.

LifeLock.com 400

Remember last year's Coca Cola not-quite-600 when some guy named Reutimann won only because the race was called early because of inclement weather? You can be forgiven if you don't know too much else about Reutimann, even though he did have three top 5 finishes this year.
Well, David Reutimann is no longer the guy who only won because it rained. He won the LifeLock.com 400 for second career victory, but the first without an asterisk.
Of the top three leaders in the Sprint Cup points standings, only Jeff Gordon had a good night, finishing third. Kevin Harvick will maintain his

Coke Zero 400

Kevin Harvick won the Coke Zero 400 Powered By Coca Cola at the Daytona International Speedway Saturday night. Really? Coke Zero 400 Powered by Coca Cola? As if we didn’t get that Coke Zero was a Coca Cola product?
Anyway – Harvick won for the second time this season, firming up his hold on first place in the Sprint Cup standings. Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. all benefited from a combination of a high finish and a lack of competition (half the field did not finish the race). Busch and Earnhardt moved up two places each,

The 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
Some of us lie awake at night, tossing and turning, grappling with questions that could potentially affect the cosmic balance of the universe. In the absence of light, does time slows down, or even stop, in a black hole? Do fish drink water? How do blind people dream? How can Ford top the perpetually best selling F150 series?
Luckily, SOME questions do have answers.
Ford’s in house team of tune-up experts, the Special Vehicle Team (SVT) came up with the answer (for the last question, that is. Don’t hold your breath for the first one –
