NASCAR Cup Series

Fans might remember 15-year-old Jeffrey Buzell, who met NASCAR's most popular driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. this past summer after being featured on ESPN's "My Wish" series.

We really haven't been focusing on what the Nationwide drivers have accomplished this past season and more on the Cup and that is about to change.

Not a good analogy? Still confused?  Ok, lets look at it from a racing perspective.

After watching the tire test news conference it was time to decorate the Christmas tree. As I hung the last brightly colored ball and strung the last of the garland I laid down in the floor and closed my eyes. My mind began to wander as I drifted off to sleep.

Who was the Jeff Gordon that NASCAR and its fans saw in 2010?

So, it's that time of the year again. The time for rewinding the 2010 racing season and taking a second look at all of the fun, and in some cases exasperation.

"We spared no expense in the repaving project. When you think about the elements you need to put on a race for your fans, and the teams, asphalt is definitely high on the list. For us we think it's important that our fans know the asphalt we put down is going to provide a great racing surface."

What’s wrong with NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series? Some would say nothing. In fact, like the country we live in, many are willing to leave things as they are with no changes.

There is no doubt that Kasey Kahne is ready to put this past season behind him, from the turmoil at Richard Petty Motorsports to his abrupt departure and early arrival to his new team, Red Bull Racing.

Last Monday Gordon issued a statement that said a compromise has now been reached with Specialized Bycycle Components.
