Lucama, NC – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In the middle of 2008, it looked as if Southern National Raceway Park had a new owner. Current owner Kirk Leone agreed to terms with buyer Del Richards to purchase the track, closing by the end of 2008. As the year progressed, it became apparent the sale would not go through, and as 2009 begins, Leone finds himself once again looking for a buyer of the 4/10 mile facility in Lucama, NC.

Jeff Gordon says developing COT was fortuitous move |
|
Jan 04, 2009 - 6:04 PM - by My Name Is Carol
|
Whether through happenstance or through foresight bordering on prescience, NASCAR's development of the car of tomorrow was a brilliant move, says four-time Cup series champion Jeff Gordon.
Gordon's view has nothing to do with the way the car drives. In truth, he'd probably prefer a car without bump stops in the front suspension, one that turns more easily through the corners at the high-banked tracks that make up the bulk of the Sprint Cup schedule.

Tony Stewart leads Fiesta Bowl Parade as grand marshal |

Jan 04, 2009 - 6:02 PM - by My Name Is Carol
|
Tony Stewart led the field through the streets of Scottsdale, Ariz., on Sunday, but he wasn’t doing any racing. Instead, the two-time Cup champion was fulfilling one of his duties as grand marshal of the Fiesta Bowl.
Stewart sat on the trunk of a Corvette convertible during the 1.9-mile route of the Fiesta Bowl Parade. The Fiesta Bowl is to be played Monday night between Ohio State and Texas.

Sam McQuagg, who was the NASCAR Grand National rookie of the year in 1965, died Saturday morning from cancer at St. Francis Hospital in his hometown of Columbus, Ga. He was 71.

Jan 04, 2009 - 6:00 PM - by My Name Is Carol
|
For the first time since 2005, Greg Biffle competed in the 10-race Chase For The Sprint Cup in 2008 and wound up finishing third for Roush Fenway Racing.

At that point, he was third in the Chase standings, tied with eventual champion Jimmie Johnson and just 10 points behind teammate Carl Edwards.

David Exum: Dale Earnhardt Jr. needs a new crew chief |
|
Jan 04, 2009 - 5:59 PM - by My Name Is Carol
|
COMMENTARY
If Dale Earnhardt Jr. expects to be successful in 2009, the first thing he needs to do is dump his crew chief, Tony Eury Jr.
While it likely won't happen, Earnhardt Jr. should realize by now that his partnership with cousin Eury Jr. just isn't working.
Sure, Earnhardt Jr. made the Chase For The Sprint Cup in 2008, but he struggled considerably in the final 10 races of the season and finished 12th in the series standings. If Earnhardt Jr.... [Read More]

COMMENTARY
The 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup season is nearing, leading to a round of predictions and cautionary tales concerning the state of the sport for the year.
As teams continue to talk of mergers and as drivers without contracts – and possibly some who had them – still seek employment for the year, anticipation for the actual racing is starting to mount.
Soon, predictions will abound concerning who will win the title, which driver will be the top... [Read More]

Richard Childress has been a household name to NASCAR fans for years.
A car owner since 1969 - first for himself and then gaining acclaim during his tenure with Dale Earnhardt - he's won six championships in NASCAR's elite series and has become a regular owner with teams in what is now the Chase For The Sprint Cup.
This year, though, he gained attention for a move away from the track. In July, he announced that he and his family had teamed up with Wake Forest... [Read More]

If an award for survival existed, Kevin Harvick could make a strong case to be the recipient of it on the heels of his efforts in the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.
The Richard Childress Racing driver finished every one of the 36 points-paying races and completed 98.1 percent of all laps on the way to a fourth-place finish in the series standings.
Harvick, 33, collected just shy of $5.6 million in race earnings while making the Chase For The Sprint Cup for a third straight year.... [Read More]

Top-30 NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers: Clint Bowyer, fifth |
|
Jan 03, 2009 - 5:58 PM - by My Name Is Carol
|
Clint Bowyer undoubtedly had a phenomenal 2008, winning the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship and finishing fifth in the Sprint Cup Series standings.
Bowyer’s season has to be considered as one of the best in NASCAR history, as rarely has one driver won one of the sanctioning body’s three national series championships and finished in the top five in another.
The Emporia, Kan. native was one of the surprise drivers of 2007, as he won his first race in the Cup... [Read More]
