2012 Budweiser Shootout
February 21st, 2012 - by Ronald A. Rowe | NASCAR, Sprint Cup Series
NASCAR’s 2012 season certainly didn’t take long to get warmed up. We went from zero to awesome in one race. Kyle Busch almost wrecked -– by all measure should have wrecked -– twice in the second stanza of the Budweiser Shootout. Twice he slid toward the infield, car sliding wildly. Twice he somehow managed to right the vehicle and avoid certain disaster. And once –- once is all it took –- he executed a perfect pass with perfect timing to cross the finish line 13/100th of a second ahead of a shocked
Adding and Subtracting NASCAR-Style

One driver is cutting back on his racing schedule while another is looking to expand her horizons. The "her" is probably a dead giveaway, so we'll elaborate on the latter half of that opening sentence first.
Danica Patrick (pictured) is set to run in both the Sprint and Nationwide series this year. But just running isn't quite what she has in mind. Patrick plans to claim at least one win in each series during the 2012 season. She's gracious and charming -- and a woman competing in a man's sport -- and manages to steal the spotlight wherever she goes,

NASCAR’s Newest Hero
February 9th, 2012 - by Ronald A. Rowe | NASCAR, Sprint Cup Series
NASCAR's newest hero is Dave Blaney. Blaney isn't exactly a household name, even in NASCAR-loving households but, as they say in my beloved home state of New Jersey, he's "not for nothin'" either. Blaney is no rookie noob. The 50-year-old has been racing in the Cup Series since 2000, with the occasional odd start here and there going all the way back to 1992. Blaney finished 32nd in the points standings last year and had one finish in the Top 5.
So why, you may ask, is Dave Blaney everyone's hero this week? Because that 32nd place finish in 2011

NASCAR Profile: The Busch Brothers
January 31st, 2012 - by Ronald A. Rowe | Driver Profiles, Nationwide Series, Sprint Cup Series
Next up in our series of driver profiles is Kurt Busch, who finished 11th in the Sprint Cup points standings. Since younger brother Kyle Busch finished just one spot lower, we’ll combine the two Busch brothers into one profile.
Kurt Busch (pictured) began his racing career at 14, which would make him a late bloomer by NASCAR champion standards. After successful stints in Dwarf Cars, Legend Cars, the Southwest Series, and the NASCAR Truck Series, Kurt made his Sprint Cup debut in 2000 and went full-time the following year.
Beginning in 2002, Busch went on an impressive run in the top

News From Preseason Thunder
January 19th, 2012 - by Ronald A. Rowe | NASCAR, Nationwide Series, Sprint Cup Series
A few assorted notes and observations from NASCAR's Preseason Thunder this weekend:
Carl Edwards Picks a Lane
Carl Edwards is getting serious now. The co-leader in Sprint Cup Series points who lost the Championship to Tony Stewart by tie-breaker wants the title in 2012. To that end, he announced this week that he will not be competing in the Nationwide Series this year.
To be completely accurate -- Edwards didn't really "compete" in the series last year, thanks to NASCAR's decision to limit drivers to collecting points in only one series. Edwards
