Okay… I admit it. I just may have been wrong. The Gatorade Duels at Daytona proved to be some of the best Nascar racing we’ve seen in a long time and I expected them to be quite a bit different. I expected the racing to be good, but, the part I didn’t expect was the lack of accidents. After the way “Speed Weeks” started and has gone over the last week and a half, I never expected there not to be at least one “Big One” in one of the two “Duels”, (or possibly even in both.) Instead of big accidents taking out large numbers of the field in one quick moment we, as Nascar fans, were treated to aggressive and close racing, bump-drafting without much incident and the end result being two of the closest finishes seen in a long time; (I think I heard someone...
The Bud Shootout Opens the 2010 Nascar Season and the Gatorade Duels Are Next… The Budweiser Shootout opened the 2010 Nascar season even though it isn’t a points race and has very little to do with the actual season. In fact I would go so far as to say it won’t tell us much about Daytona 500 or who will win it, either. From this fan’s view, one thing we probably should look for this coming Sunday would be a return to more accidents and maybe even more than one of the “Big Ones”. I really think the Gatorade Duels on Thursday will tell us a lot more about which of the teams may have an advantage going into Sunday’s race. The Shootout definitely showed how aggressive the drivers can be, (which it does just about every year), and how they might handle the slight...
A Quick Review and Thoughts On the 2009 Nascar Season Part 2 TAKE THE LATEST SURVEY (Click the Link) The 2009 NASCAR season wasn’t without it’s feel good moments and surprises. There were many throughout the year. What follows are some of the high points of the season from this Fan’s View… No one expected the Roush teams to perform as poorly as they did in 2009, especially since Carl Edwards looked so strong at the end of the 2008 Season. With the way the 2009 season began, it did look as though the Roush teams were going to the ones to beat, led by Matt Kenseth and the 17 team, with wins at Daytona and Fontana, but their fortunes quickly turned after Fontana and all the Roush teams struggled quite a bit during most of the rest of the season. Shortly after that, all eyes...
A Quick Review and Thoughts On the 2009 Nascar Season TAKE THE SURVEY Part 1 Before we move into the 2010 NASCAR season, I’d like to take a quick review of the 2009 season. Although I know there will be those that disagree with me, overall, I think the 2009 NASCAR season went much better than many expected and it was a very good year for NASCAR. They once again proved they can weather the storms we all face in one way or another. That’s the reason I think a quick review of the 2009 season IS in order. Thinking back, the season started off with a lot hesitation on the part of many people about just how good the racing would be and whether or not there would be enough cars to fill the 43 car field every race weekend. As we know...
