Opinion: Bowman Gray Stadium Needs To Crack Down On Out of Control Drivers

A couple of years ago I wrote a piece for another publication condemning Bowman Gray Stadium's evolution from great racing venue to the world's...

Despite Setbacks, Christopher Bell Continues to Shine

It's too early to doubt Bell or to count him out of contention. He's a rookie, and he's doing what rookies normally do; learn. He's learning and posting strong results when possible. He'll gain momentum, he'll gain consistency, and he'll gain confidence. Those top-10s will pile up, but he just needs time.

Was the XFINITY Series Event at Pocono Necessary?

I just want to say I love the NASCAR XFINITY Series. I believe it has potential to return to its former glory and I have no problem with Cup drivers winning the occasional event (emphasis on "occasional"). I'm also a fan of Pocono.
