Breaking News before the Truck Series got underway – NASCAR has suspended Kurt Busch indefinitely after a Delaware Family Court issued an order of protection for Patricia Driscoll following an incident after the Fall 2014 Dover race. I said when she showed up in Kurt’s life, don’t sleep with crazy. All of this madness is just one example of why I consider that a rule to live by.

2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Daytona 500 Pole Qualifying
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.
Hard to tell if Clint Bowyer hit Reed Sorenson or what. There was a mad rush to get onto the track – no one wanted to go out onto the track first, then everybody rushed out at the same time and was jostling to get onto the track resulting in some contact before they really got going.

2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Sprint Unlimited
It’s chilly in Daytona. The Atlanta metro area is under a winter storm watch.

I believe the next place I live will be much warmer.
It’s so good to see Mike Joy and Darrell Waltrip. I’ve missed them in the off season. Today I got to see some of the new hires. Nice to see Vince Welch land a gig. I was lamenting losing him with ESPN so its cool that he’s with the A team on FOX. It was also nice to see Jeff Hammond and JR on the desk earlier today. Kenny Wallace seems to be back in good form, along with Phil Parsons. Continue reading “2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Sprint Unlimited”
2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Awards
So the question I tend to ask at this point of the season is whom does Jay Mohr have dirt on in NASCAR that he keeps getting the hosting gig for the ceremony? He has been awful in the past and the tradition continued this year. Typically there has been a sort of pre-game show with red carpet stuff and interviews. Didn’t see anything like that this year.
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”
