Acquaintance to Friend: Honoring “Diesel” Dave Radzierez
As a group, motorsports in general is a very difficult genre to find people that stick around on a personal level. Interests, life experiences, location; all these could be reasons. But, to get to know someone outside of a particular sport is hard to do, because some may be friends, ...

Daytona…Then, Now, and Forever, Means Something
No one really knew what they had back in 1959 when stock cars were still being compared to those running moonshine, and then decided to see who could outrun each other instead of outrun the law. No one knew what a high-banked track would do for a sport still in ...

Truck and Tractor Pulling-The Cornerstone Horsepower Competition
The common theme in motorsports is horsepower, and it’s ever changing how it is utilized. It’s not about who has the most power, but who can use the power at the right time. This is why NASCAR events that come down to fuel mileage are intriguing since the horsepower then ...

Verizon 200 at the Brickyard-Doesn’t Feel Like Indy
This is not the NASCAR at Indianapolis that many expected, nor wanted. When the sport came to test at the famed rectangle speedway in 1993, the hype was extremely real, extremely passionate. Even for that test, not a full field of cars, the fans that saw the action on the ...

Outlaw Drags Inject Much-Needed Jamboree Excitement in Bloomsburg
It’s been made clear that for a while, something was off with the 4-Wheel Jamboree. It felt like it was the same song, new season, for the infield action. It became predictable, and despite the large crowds, things stayed the same. The times of the infield action became well known, ...

Dustin Off a Resurrection: All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro
Paraphrasing a movie that came out one year after this track closed down, it’s been 27 years. It’s been that long since a Cup car rolled through these corners.

NASCAR Needs More Right Crosses than Wrecked Cars
Fans want more action on the track, more aggressive racing, more battles for the lead, and more desire to go after that win, that position, possibly that championship. The problem with all that is sometimes that aggressiveness is taken out on those that in reality get to be the victims ...

Old-School Names Turn into Outlaws at 4-Wheel Jamboree
The one constant about and old-school four wheel drive show is that you expect to see the classics. Classic trucks with modern upgrades, yet still keep the right attitude from back when they were originally built. But, you also see modern takes on those ideas, with custom touches and new ...
