The Way I See It!
The weather has been gorgeous in Phoenix, though the track has given the drivers a few problems. A full weekend of racing for a change with the Truck Series on Friday night, Nationwide Series on Saturday afternoon, and Cup Racing on Sunday.
Jimmie Johnson qualified on the pole for Sunday’s race. Matt Kenseth will start 14th.
Erik Jones, at 17, became the latest youngest winner ever in the Truck series. Continue reading “2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Thirty-Five Phoenix”
Beautiful day at Texas Motor Speedway. Clouds pass over occasionally. The time changed last night so we’ll probably hit darkness before the end of the race. Carl Edwards leads them to the green flag. 10 laps in Jimmie Johnson takes over the lead from Edwards. Jimmie and Matt Kenseth come into this race tied at the top of the points standings. Jimmie started in third position. Kenseth started in 6th position. Continue reading “2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Thirty-Four Texas”
CONGRATULATIONS to Darrell Wallace Jr. on winning his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Race driving the Kyle Busch Motorsports #54 Toyota Tundra!!!

Sprint Cup qualifying was rained out so Aric Afterburner got the pole since he was the fastest car in practice. Jeff Burton is on outside pole.

There were a few wrecks, including a 12-truck crash on the last lap that took out most of the front of the field. Johnny Sauter emerged victorious.

The best part of this weekend was having Darrell Waltrip in the booth instead of Petty Kyle. Unfortunately that trend did not continue through Race Day. If only we could have race coverage with Petty Kyle or Larry McNuggets, it would be an improvement in coverage. If they could take Brad Daugherty with them it would be a much better Race Day.
