ROUND 1A

So, with less than two minutes on the five minute clock Reed Sorenson and Clint Bowyer end up in the wall. Bobby Labonte was collected as was Denny Hamlin and JJ Yeley.

I fell asleep before the end. That pretty much sums up the majority of the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup season for me. I’ve fallen asleep on more races and events this season than I have in the entire time I’ve been watching NASCAR. Continue reading “2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Awards”

Lovely weather in Phoenix. Congratulations to Dawsonville Georgia’s Chase Elliott the 2014 Nationwide Series champion. 18-year-old Chase is the youngest national champion in the history of the NASCAR. He is also the first Nationwide Champion who is also the Rookie of the Year. Congratulations also to Erik Jones on his win in the truck series Friday night. The race was delayed when the lights went out around the track and ended when they went off again. Continue reading “2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Thirty-Five Phoenix”
