Matty’s Picks 2012 – Vol. 22 – Atlanta Motor Speedway – AdvoCare 500 – September 2, 2012

Atlanta is one of those tracks where I really respect the drivers for hanging it all out there and really being on the edge of disaster at all times. Its aging surface lacks grip giving drivers with a background in dirt racing a competitive advantage over the field. It reminds me of the days of watching the DIRT modified's circle 'D-Shaped Dirt Demon' at my hometown track, the 3/8th-mile in Brewerton, NY.

Swindell streak ends at two in Skagit

Once Kerry Madsen crossed the finish line with the checkered flag waving behind him, it was safe to breathe. Up to that point, not so much.

Opening Ceremonies are slated for 7 p.m.

NASCAR’s had a few eyebrow raising moments lately

The Bristol Experience: Still the Best in NASCAR

The smell of race fumes. The roar of the cars going around the track. The fans cheering, booing and getting excited for a night race at Bristol. All of those things are what you can expect at Bristol on race weekend. The Bristol Motor Speedway is unlike any track on the NASCAR circuit.

NOTES FROM THE NASCAR NATION: IF TONY STEWART’S HELMET TOSS WAS USED IN OTHER MAJOR SPORTS

We all saw it. Then we all saw it again and again and again. That, of course, would be Tony Stewart's helmet toss at Matt Kenseth's race car during the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at the Bristol Motor Speedway.

Chase field starts to take shape after wild night in Bristol
