So here we are again, 38 days away from the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway and if SPEED counting down every weekend starting in Daytona saying x number of days before the all-star race wasn’t enough, now Lowe’s Motor Speedway has announced that they will be painting the walls (formerly Nextel yellow), now Sprint yellow, oh brother.While I don’t really care about the walls, the do think about the All-Star location and date, where should this race really be? In my opinion, the all-star really does count as a Cup Series race, it packs in fans from all over, so guess what, it’s a Sprint Cup Series race.With that said, I do believe that in an age where Cup dates are already at a premium, the idea of rotating this race around should be an option, however that’s

Confetti was falling and liquids were spraying as Carl Edwards celebrated Sunday's Sprint Cup victory at Texas Motor Speedway.
But two of the most important people outside of the driver were missing from Victory Lane. Robbie Reiser and Bob Osborne.
Reiser, Roush Fenway Racing's general manager and Edwards' interim assistant crew chief, was headed for the airport. Osborne was at his North Carolina home.
Reiser, better known as Matt Kenseth's crew chief before this season, chose to skip the celebration much to the surprise of team owner Jack Roush and Edwards. Osborne had no choice, serving the fourth race of his six-race suspension by NASCAR.

When I first hear that Michael Waltrip made a suggestion to the president of the newly renamed Auto Club Speedway of Southern California with the idea of converting the racetrack to a restrictor-plate track by building up the corners to 33-35 degrees of banking and the fact that they are seriously considering it , I have to admit that at first I said “What, are you kinding me, another restrictor-plate, yeah we need that?”, however the more I thought about it, I began to understand one thing, that in fact that the speedway does need a new identity.Currently the racing at the Auto Club Speedway has been boring for the most part with the previous car, it’s not like Michigan racing, its long, drawn out caution free racing with the ending coming out to be a huge lead and in some cases a f

Bruton Smith was not happy about the “tricks”, as he calls them, that started after he wanted to build a drag strip on property adjacent to the Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Concord, NC.
In my piece last week entitled “Bruton Smith – SMI: The tale of New Hampshire International Speedway and North Wilkesboro Speedway.”, I started to touch on this very topic of just what should Bruton smith and SMI do with the newly purchased historic North Wilkesboro Speedway land? Newly purchased Brian? With the purchase of the New Hampshire International Speedway now renamed New Hampshire Motor Speedway for 340 Million dollars, in that transaction, SMI also purchased Bahre’s 50% of North Wilkesboro Speedway and now that he owns the entire lot lock stock and barrel, what should he do with it?By now, NASCAR fans have read about Smith – SMI’s problems with Concord, NC about Smith wanting to build a drag strip on the site of his Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Concord and the city originally said “NO”. Of course right after that, Smith said he might consider moving the Lowe’s Motor Speedway from Concord to Charlotte just 20 miles or so miles away. Keep in mind that Lowe’s M
By now, most NASCAR racing fans have heard that Bruton Smith – SMI has purchased (my home racetrack since I live in Massachusetts) the New Hampshire International Speedway and the other 50% of North Wilkesboro in North Carolina from the Bahre family for 340 million in cash. What a purchase, he buys two Nextel (Sprint) Cup dates at NHIS, NHIS was the only soldout race in the chase so far, the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway and lots of land, So the question is, what is SMI’s plans for not only the newly renamed New Hampshire Motor Speeday, the historical North Wilkesboro, but his Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Concord, NC.Before I get into what this NASCAR racing fan what like to see change at NHMS, two things, first, Yes, I do know how New Hampshire received there seconddate? I know that the Bahre family and Smith each purchased half of North Wilkesboro Speedway and then closed it, moving one Cup date to Texas Motor Speedway and the other one went to New Hampshire International Spee

Hampton, Ga.Oct 08, 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series driver Ryan Newman will attempt to become the driver with the most pole positions in Atlanta Motor Speedway history this Oct. 26 during Georgia-Pacific Qualifying night. Newman and NASCAR legend Buddy Baker are currently tied with seven AMS poles each, but Newman would like to see his number atop not only the scoring tower on Oct. 26, but also on top of the Atlanta Motor Speedway record book. "It would be an honor to beat Buddy Baker in all-time poles at Atlanta Motor Speedway, " Newman said. "Atlanta is a place where I enjoy qualifying and I have a great record there. I am really looking forward to trying to claim the all-time qualifying record. " If Newman were to claim the top-spot for the Oct. 28 Pep Boys Auto 500 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race, moving Baker to second-place, he would be de-throneing his friend and mentor. "Buddy and I always drove the tracks backwards because it gives you a different
Carl Edwards avoided trouble on the track Sunday to win at Dover International Speedway, but he found it in the garage. The No. 99 Ford failed the post race inspection because the right rear fender was too low, and NASCAR this week will likely hit Edwards with a fine and dock him crucial points.
The probable penalty will only further jumble a point’s race that has the top six drivers separated by a mere 18 points. Jeff Gordon seized the points lead, with Tony Stewart second. Jimmie Johnson, who led the standings entering the day, fell to fourth.
Lewis Hamilton: “Obviamente siempre es todo un desafío rodar por primera vez en un circuito nuevo, pero eso es algo que en mi caso ya me ha sucedido en tres ocasiones este año. Los ingenieros y yo dimos un paseo ayer por el circuito y estaba deseando subirme al coche esta mañana. He completado la primera sesión de entrenamientos libres con un solo juego de neumáticos, ya que únicamente se trataba de cogerle la medida al trazado. (more…)

Keep the Rosebowl openI'm going to reproduce in full the following statement from Mike Barry, owner of Tipperary Motor Speedway and promoter of drifting and hot rod racing events at the track:"Tipperary Motor Speedway faces a High Court battle on October 17th, 18th and 19th, 2007, to stay open.This case is being brought by one person who is a serial objector in the area. He was not happy with Judge Olive Buttimer’s handling of the injunction to close the track through the winter.The track has been before the Circuit Court five or six times from December 2006 through April 2007. This objector has been trying to stop car racing since 2001/2. Later, he included karting, and now he wants to stop car racing and drifting.He has been hassling the South Tipperary County Council for six years about planning permission at the track. He has used local politicians to arrange meetings to question our planning permission, and canvass the County Council. This is a recorded fact.He has told lies
