Just A Fan's View of Nascar Racing

From a NASCAR Fan's View So… round one of the playoffs is in the books and, as unbelievable as it sounds, not one playoff driver won any of the three races in it. Yeah, I know you've heard that a lot in the last week or so but, it is worth repeating. I mentioned last… Continue reading Texas Starts The Playoffs Round Of Twelve

From a NASCAR Fan's View It's more than just another Saturday Night under the lights. It's more than just a catch phrase of, “It's Bristol, baby.” It's even more than just another elimination race. This one is important in so many ways it's even hard to put into words – although many have tried and… Continue reading Bristol And The First Round Elimination

From a NASCAR Fan's View To this fan, this has been a different year all round and it has been a difficult one to figure out. Well, at least in my opinion. I do believe the Next Gen car ahs a lot to do with that but I can't blame everything I see on the… Continue reading Pressure Ramps Up At Kansas

From a NASCAR Fan's View As the playoffs kick off at Darlington, there has never been a season, at least in my memory, quite like this NASCAR season of 2022. What with the Next Gen car, all of the unknowns and the unexpected happenings with tires, pit stops and wrecks of all kinds, it's just… Continue reading Wondering Who Will Win As The Playoffs Begin

From a NASCAR Fan's View All eyes are on the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona and it is expected to be a real barn burner. With the announcement of Kurt Bush withdrawing from the playoff picture opening up another available spot in the final sixteen, the intensity has quadrupled. Fourteen of the spots are… Continue reading Daytona Will Decide The Playoff 16

From a NASCAR Fan's View Say… has it registered with you yet that there are only two more races before the playoffs start? Yeah, that's right. This season is coming down to the final weeks and it just isn't clear which of the drivers and teams might have the best chance at walking away with… Continue reading The Glenn Means Two To Go Till The Playoffs

From a NASCAR Fan's View With three races left in the 2022 NASCAR Cup season, the race this week looms large in the whole playoff picture. It depends on whether or not there will be three different first-time winners for 2022 and shake up the whole thing, or, whether there will be at least one… Continue reading Richmond Looms Large For The Playoff Picture

From a NASCAR Fan's View So… this is the first time for the Next Gen car on the Michigan track and it looks like the Toyotas have shown up, ready to race. Since I wasn't available for the qualifying sessions – for reasons beyond my control – I'll just have to go with what I… Continue reading Michigan Is Next With Four To Go

From a NASCAR Fan's View Once again, it's time for the Cup teams to take on the Indy road course. I don't know about you but, I kinda miss the old race on the oval. That's not to say I don't enjoy the road course race. I'm just saying I kinda miss the old Brickyard… Continue reading Taking It To The Indy Road Course

From a NASCAR Fan's View Once again, it's time for the Cup Teams to take on the Tricky Triangle at Pocono. Though it is a different style track, it is still a track that challenges even the most experienced drivers in Cup. One reason for the challenge is the shape of the track and the… Continue reading Cup Teams Take On Pocono

From a NASCAR Fan's View Well, it's that time again. Another weekend on a track with the Next Gen for the first time and it could be a race with a twist. What I mean by that is, there could be a very unexpected winner or at least one that hasn't won in a while.… Continue reading Cup Teams Take On Loudon With The Next Gen

From a NASCAR Fan's View So… If you thought last time the Cup Teams visited Atlanta was interesting, then this time might be even more interesting. You see, at least in my opinion, they don't really have any good excuses for not being able to perform well. The reason for that is that they now… Continue reading Cup Teams Take On Atlanta Again

From a NASCAR Fan's View Well… in usual fashion lately and especially with the Next Gen car, the qualifying may not tell a true story of how this race will go. I mean, with so many variables and possible problems with some unknowns, this race could prove to be very much of a toss up… Continue reading Next Stop Road America For The Cup Teams

From a NASCAR Fan's View In a quick turn of events, Denny Hamlin somehow managed to win the pole position for the Ally 400 at Nashville Speedway. Uh, maybe I should say had it handed to him. In case you missed it, the rains came before they had a chance to run the actual qualifying… Continue reading Cup Teams Take It To Nashville
