A former radio and television broadcaster, newspaper columnist, Little League baseball coach, Ron Thornton has been following NASCAR on this site since 2004. While his focus may have changed over recent years, he continues to make periodic appearances only when he has something to say. That makes him a rather unique journalist.

The Final Word – Newman gets handed a win, Reutimann gets tossed under the bus at Martinsville

Ron Thornton -
Martinsville might have started a wee bit boring, got real interesting in the second half, then went plain nuts at the end. Jeff Gordon, the star on this day, was leading, trying to fend off team-mate Jimmie Johnson for the win with three laps remaining.

Hot 20 over the past 10 – Smoke ‘em if you got him

Ron Thornton -
Taking Tony Stewart as part of your fantasy team usually doesn't pay off too much this time of year. Apparently, Tony just decided that March is the new June, to add two wins in five events to the five in ten he chalked up in the fall.

The Final Word – Some like it hot, but sadly Fontana was not

Ron Thornton -
Tony Stewart won it, his second of the season, which is pretty good for a guy who rarely wins before June. Jimmie Johnson was belching smoke and spilling oil after a line broke, but the caution came out at just the right time so he could finish 10th.

The Final Word – Bristol was just nice, but we will settle for just nice from Fontana

Ron Thornton -
Bristol is a place where bashing and banging is expected, yet while there was some of that going on, it proved to be just nice to watch last Sunday. Unfortunately, it was not exactly a hang on to your seat kind of affair.

The Final Word – Tony was a tiger at Las Vegas, Petty was a tiger on SPEED

Ron Thornton -
When the dust had cleared at Las Vegas, Sunday had featured two folks in my opinion. One was Tony Stewart, who won this early in the season way back in...well, never.

The Final Word – Saturday at Phoenix was nothing like Sunday at Phoenix

Ron Thornton -
They looked similar, with the same track and cars that appeared comparable. However, where the Nationwide race at Phoenix on Saturday was brutally boring, the televised action Sunday kept one interested from start to finish.

The Final Word – You would think Phoenix just has to be tamer than Daytona, but…

Ron Thornton -
Okay, just what in sam hill was that? In the end, it was Matt Kenseth being chased by Greg Biffle and Dale Earnhardt Jr coming home, with all appearing to have a shot at the win.

The Last Word – NASCAR shows again that it sure knows how to open a new season

Ron Thornton -
NASCAR does it right, my friends. Begin the season with an exhibition game, featuring all-stars, rookies, even old timers would do. You don't start your day with the main meal, but breakfast sure hits the spot.

Racing is all about babes in firesuits, anger management, wrestlers, and even racing

Ron Thornton -
Well, the football season is over and the baseball season is still a few weeks away. What to do, what to do? Even the...

Hottest 30 over the past 10 as we begin a new season

Ron Thornton -
With the roar of the engines having returned to Daytona, a new season is about to dawn upon us. We have a new, albeit recycled, champion, more Danica to watch for, a return of the kid to defend his Daytona title in a few weeks, and the results of a musical chair silly season.
