A former radio and television broadcaster, newspaper columnist, Little League baseball coach, Ron Thornton has been following NASCAR on this site since 2004.

The Final Word – Kurt Busch and other boys who have spent time in the dog house

We like who we like, we don't who we don't, and once we don't, it could take years, if ever, for us to change our minds. In a sport where popularity and merchandise sales mean almost as much as the racing, it is a big deal.

Is it just me, or is Denny Hamlin no Rory McIlroy?

Denny Hamlin wins his 17th Cup victory at Michigan...yaaa. I mean, Yaaaah! Oh, who am I kidding?

I do believe Kevin Harvick has taken a Shining to Mr. Busch

Kyle Busch sits in the corner of the room, chanting "Redrum. Redrum. Redrum."

Darlington and Richmond are fickle southern ladies who do have their favorites

Next week, the Lady in Black will get her turn in Darlington, not allowing the boys much time to recover after dancing with that gal in Richmond.

Hot 20 over past 10 – Edwards for now, Johnson for later, and Junior by Charlotte?

In tracking the drivers who have been hot over the past ten races, the most recent result replaces the oldest.

Richmond, where the legends play…and win

Richmond. What a strange track that is. Cars going round and round separately, not tied together like conjoined twins, as was the case at Talladega.
