The Final Word

The Final Word – Jimmie must have all the luck, as Jeff sure does not

Jimmie and Jeff, taking turns ruling the roost at Dover, at least they did until a fox ventured into the hen house in the form of a loose wheel that required a unscheduled stop for tightening.

The Final Word – Things really do go better with Coke, according to Kahne

600 miles might be too long a race, but the final 70 of the 400 laps provided some pretty good action. The Coca Cola 600 gave Kasey Kahne his first win as a Hendrick driver, his 13th of his Cup career.

The Final Word – A tale of three drivers; one good, one bad, and one acting ugly again

The Southern 500 at Darlington is tradition. Sometimes it is good, such as during the latter portions of the event, and sometimes it is not. Sometimes there are no cautions, sometimes that leaves very few on the lead lap, and sometimes NASCAR has to throw a caution for debris, or too many mosquitos, or whatever they can think of.

The Final Word – NASCAR in May, when you can watch races live and like it

There are many experts out there, some who are actually the real deal. When it comes to motorsport racing, I'm no expert but I have been a paid chronicler of events much of my life. An expert observer, one might say.

The Last Word – Richmond may love Kyle, but fans and non-fans alike love Talladega in May

There is that old saying that states the more things change, the more they stay the same. There was Kyle Busch winning the spring race at Richmond back in 2009. Then again in 2010. In 2011. Then last Saturday night. Four straight spring race wins at a track he has always done well at.

The Final Word – If you are not a Hamlin fan, Richmond could be about as much fun as Kansas

If you are not a real NASCAR fan, but the kind who doesn't know a Harvick from a Hamlin, who seeks wrecks not racing, who can't tick off the boys who have won a race this season, then Kansas probably was not for you.

The Final Word – Biffle ends his slump at Texas, Stewart’s drought now stands at two

Leading the pack? Check. Winning a race and ending a 49 race slump? It was mission accomplished for Greg Biffle Saturday night in Fort Worth when he got by Jimmie Johnson with 30 laps to go and held that lead right to the checkered flag.

The Final Word – Newman gets handed a win, Reutimann gets tossed under the bus at Martinsville

Martinsville might have started a wee bit boring, got real interesting in the second half, then went plain nuts at the end. Jeff Gordon, the star on this day, was leading, trying to fend off team-mate Jimmie Johnson for the win with three laps remaining.

The Final Word – Some like it hot, but sadly Fontana was not

Tony Stewart won it, his second of the season, which is pretty good for a guy who rarely wins before June. Jimmie Johnson was belching smoke and spilling oil after a line broke, but the caution came out at just the right time so he could finish 10th.

The Final Word – Bristol was just nice, but we will settle for just nice from Fontana

Bristol is a place where bashing and banging is expected, yet while there was some of that going on, it proved to be just nice to watch last Sunday. Unfortunately, it was not exactly a hang on to your seat kind of affair.
