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.

The remaining Chase contenders are either folks I don’t want to see win, or folks I don’t particularly care if they win. I’m really glad I don’t have tickets to Homestead now.

Congratulations to Darrell Wallace Jr on winning yesterday’s Martinsville Truck race driving a Wendell Scott tribute truck. Great going kid! Continue reading “2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Thirty-Three Martinsville”
