Like it not, this race isn’t really about the winner. Well, that is unless the winner is one of the final four in this final race of the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup series. An interesting fact about this one is that it is really two races in one, or, at least can be. If it … Continue reading "Champions Racing For The 2016 Championship from a NASCAR Fan’s View"

Look at it anyway you want but the truth is there are six drivers going for the two remaining spots for the final round of the 2016 NASCAR Cup Championship and, (if you’ll excuse my language), “ain’t but two of ‘em gonna make it!” Hardly anyone is thinking about pointing their way in – they … Continue reading "The Heat Is On At Phoenix from a NASCAR Fan’s View"

Okay… this is the way it is. Jimmie Johnson is in the final four at Homestead and the rest of the Chasers are trying to get there.

Okay… from this fan’s view last weekend was one of the least eventful races at Talladega in quite a while.

As far as the Sprint Cup Championship, everything is back to even at Charlotte Motor Speedway except for the fact there are only twelve taking the reset and moving forward into the second round of the Chase for 2016.

There’s a reason why they call it the Monster Mile and there are good reasons for some to fear the monster this weekend at Dover – when it’s over – four will be eliminated from the competition for the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

And so the Chase begins… Well… that doesn’t sound like a very exciting beginning to what many have been waiting for for up to twenty six weeks of NASCAR Sprint Cup racing, does it? That may be true for some but for others, well, it is their first time and they can’t wait to prove … Continue reading "It’s On At Chicagoland from a NASCAR Fan’s View"

Richmond is the place for the last race before the Chase and it should prove to be a very interesting evening of racing tonight. It will also be the end for some and a beginning for others.
