On April 1, 1994, the USENET newsgroup rec.autos.sport was divided into several racing-related groups - one of which was rec.autos.sport.nascar, or "rasn" as it became known to it's participants. On August 13, 1998 a second nascar-related USENET newsgroup (this group) was voted into existence: rec.autos.sport.nascar.moderated, or "rasnm". The rationale...

>From all the NASCAR websites, it appears that DEI is imploding before our very eyes. I predicted same when it was announced that Jr was leaving the company. When I made the prediction, I also said that after the implosion, Jr would return as the White Knight and save the company from certain demise. Now, I'm not so sure that he will do so. It is...

Speaking of UPS moving to Childress, and Jack Daniels moving to Stewart-Haas, RCR now has 4 big time sponsors, 4 cars, and only 3 drivers. And, with Labonte committing to Petty, Reutimann likewise, and Newman to Stewart-Haas, the pool of potential drivers seems to be shrinking. Who's left? Mears? Wimmer, up from Busch? McMurray? A young gun not yet...

As long as we're talking silly season stuff, the second part of the Tony Stewart deal is rumored to be Newman moving to the second Stewart-Haas car, with Jack Daniels as sponsor. That, obviously leaves the 12 open. Several drivers rumored for it: Mears, who lacks a seat; Stremme, who's run well in Nationwide and is under contract to Penske, and Michael...

Speaking of Michael McDowell moving to Penske, that might be another sign of trouble at MWR. UPS is gone, to Childress, and Aaron's apparently doesn't want to sponsor full-time in Cup. Even NAPA is rumored to be unhappy. If McDowell is shopping himself around, is that a sign that MWR will scale back to 2 cars next year? Or, perhaps to 1? Today's rumor...

Whoa…Smoke’s Out At Gibbs? Written by Rocky Kitts · July 9, 2008 Well, that’s pretty big. According to ESPN’s website, Joe Gibbs Racing is expected to announce tomorrow that Tony Stewart is no longer a member of the racing team. From the four-letter network: On Thursday at Chicagoland Speedway, Stewart will formally announce a move to Haas/CNC...

Did I see empty seats at Daytona, during a Saturday night race? I don't know the layout well enough to say exactly where I thought I saw them, but it was past the line and into the area of the turn(s) - people in the stands and large areas of empty seats. Only seen in some camera angles, of course. JeanneH

Good God, it's lap 71, anyone ever seen so many commercials? This looks to be start to finish, nothing but one long commercial. Is this the future of 'free TV?

An exciting race to be sure, but not how I expected it to end. I guess I (along with Cousin Carl) will always wonder what woulda happened had the last wreck not occurred.... oh well..... Earnhardt - 0 Stewart - 0 Ky Busch - 1 Hamlin - 0 Ku Busch - 1 ...and the winner is.... Ku Busch (wrong Busch!) For funsies the top rookie is Carpentier can...
