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 from Texas, where Tony proved to be all fumes, no gas

Ron Thornton -
So, what did we learn at Texas? Well, we have learned that if you want to play there, you must have a fiddle in the band. Matt Kenseth apparently took no chances and brought along an entire string section.

The Last Word from Las Vegas, where Edwards wins after Tony gets hosed.

Ron Thornton -
So, what did we learn in Las Vegas? Well, we learned that sometimes the best car on the day does not win, leaving the bubbly to second best.

Ron Thornton -
I never knew how much I liked beer soaked sausage until I saw those commercials.

The Final Word on Phoenix where Gordon wound up with the final say

Ron Thornton -
Well, we learned that Chad Knaus sucks as a predictor of events. Expect few cautions, he said prior to the race, and within 70 laps more than half the field were dinged.
