The Daytona 500 offered a lot of unexpected occurrences, but that’s what made it one of the best ever, says Jeff Hammond.
The Daytona 500 offered a lot of unexpected occurrences, but that’s what made it one of the best ever, says Jeff Hammond.
NASCAR’s trying to get “back to the basics” this season. Lee Spencer grades their progress and wants to know what you think.
The International Race of Champions series will liquidate all tools, equipment, race cars and memorabilia in a two-day public auction March 7 and 8 at its headquarters.
The all-star series has been dormant since the conclusion of the 2006 season due to lack of sponsorship.
“We’re all very sad to see IROC come to an end, but the competition for major corporate sponsorship is very tough and the car manufacturers have not shown any interest,” IROC president Jay Signore said.
With the Daytona 500 in his rearview mirror, Juan Pablo Montoya moves on to California Speedway to face one of the biggest challenges of the season.
He’s terrible on 2-mile (3.2-kilometer) tracks, totaling an average finish of 32nd in the four races at California and Michigan last season. Improving at those places could be critical to his success this year.
“I’m really bad at California,” he said.
It was Dario Franchitti’s first week as a full-time stock car driver. How did he do? Spotter Mike Calinoff has his report card.
Now that Daytona is done, Jeff Owens takes a look at what the rest of the season holds for Reed Sorenson, among others.
Ryan Newman basks in the glow, while Robbie Gordon awaits his penalty and Jacques Villeneuve calls it quits. Plus, we ask the question, just how mad is Matt Kenseth?
