The Way I See It!
Happy Father’s Day to those with children, with fathers and those who fulfil that function. Congratulations to William Byron on winning the Camping World Truck Series race, his third win of his rookie season. Congrats to John Hunter Nemechek on his first NASCAR Camping Series Truck Race pole.
Another blue sky day in Iowa as the Xfinity Series drivers make a Sunday stand since the Sprint Cup drivers have the week off. Continue reading “2016 NASCAR Xfinity Cup Race Fourteen Iowa”
Beautiful day in Michigan. The sun is shining bright and the drivers and their families seem to be enjoying the weather. UFC Bantam weight champion Miesha Tate is the Grand Marshall. Good for the Harvick’s management group. They seem to be doing good work for her.
Jeff Gordon and Darrell Waltrip in the booth are very excited, and nervous, about the new rules package for this race. Continue reading “2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Fifteen Michigan”
Someone should explain to Mikey that hysteria and excitement are NOT the same. When you sound hysterical you amp up the anxiety in the audience, not the excitement.

Congrats to Raymond Park, Rick Hendrick and Benny Parsons on their inclusion in the 2017 Hall of Fame. I’m pleased Richard Childress was added to the Hall of Fame though I feel his addition to the Hall of Fame is premature.

It’s been raining off and on for the past couple of days in Charlotte so the schedule has been a bit muddled with qualifying getting cancelled for the truck and for the All-Star Race and the Showdown getting moved to Saturday morning.
Congrats to Matt Crafton on winning the truck series race today. It was a boring race, but Crafton did a nice job. Continue reading “2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Thirteen B”
