Randy Moss Purchases Nascar Team

Pretty cool: All-Pro New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss has purchased half of a Nascar team.  The team’s single entry, a Craftsman Truck Series Chevrolet Silverado, will change to #81, Moss’ jersey number.  The purchased team, Morgan-Dollar Motorsports, will now be called Randy Moss Motorsports.

Hendrick Most Valuable Team in Nascar

Forbes Magazine says Hendrick Motorsports is the most valuable team in Nascar, worth $335 million.  They also ranked race cars, and the #24 DuPont Chevrolet (Jeff Gordon - $92 million), #88 AMP Energy/National Guard Chevrolet (Dale Earnhardt, Jr - $79 million), and #48 Lowe’s Chevrolet (Jimmie Johnson - $58 million), all three from Hendrick Motorsports, [...]

Back to Victory Lane

I am so incredibly excited to say that Jimmie Johnson and Hendrick Motorsports have gotten back to victory lane in 2008!
Earlier this evening, Chad Knaus, Johnson’s crew chief, make a gutsy call and kept the #48 Lowe’s Chevrolet Impala SS out on the racetrack as the laps wound down in Phoenix.  This was a gutsy [...]

Kyle Busch and Earnhardt Senior

Yesterday, Bruton Smith, CEO and majority owner of Speedway Motorsports, Inc, told the city of Concord, North Carolina who’s boss. See articles in Scene Daily, That’s Racin’, ESPN, and FoxSports.

And like every Nascar fan, I have been engaged by the ongoing decision of what car Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be driving during the 2008 Nascar Nextel Cup season. When I say ‘car’, that is more than just the sheet metal on a [...]
