From a NASCAR Fan’s View

It’s again time for short track racing under the lights. The place is North Wilkesboro Speedway. It kind of reminds me of my younger days, except that it is going to be on a Sunday night. The reason I bring that up was an advertisement I remember from one of our local radio stations a long time ago. It always started with the excited statements of “Saturday night under the lights! Saturday night under the lights!” Wow! Does that bring back some memories. Well, it just doesn’t have the same ring to it when it says “Sunday night under the lights.”

You might ask what does that have to do with this race at North Wilkesboro. To be honest, not a whole lot. It’s just a memory from the past of this old NASCAR fan, and this old track brings out that old memory. 

What is important is that this is the first points race at this place in thirty years. It couldn’t happen at a better time since, counting this race, there are six races for the drivers to make the Chase. That’s not a lot of time for some, and some feel it is too long a time, the way their season has been going. It is also the semi-finals of the In-Season Challenge, with the two finalists taking their hope for winning a million dollars to Indianapolis next week.

With the season winding down to its final weeks to make the Chase, it is pretty obvious that Denny Hamlin has a great chance of being the season champ. He is already leading by twenty-four points and looks pretty good to keep on leading until Daytona. The closest to him is his fellow Toyota teammate and his 23XI employee, Tyler Reddick. Between them, they have nine wins this season, and though Denny now leads, Reddick led for many weeks after winning five races early in the season. Both of them looked to be untouchable when it came to points and they kind of cornered the headlines for weeks on end.

Then Ryan Blaney showed that consistency pays off when it comes to accumulating points. As it stands, going into this race at North Wilkesboro, he has drawn to within sixty-five points of leader Hamlin. Because qualifying was rained out and he won last weekend’s race at EchoPark, he will be starting on the pole with a chance to move even closer to cutting more points from Hamlin’s and Reddick’s lead, depending on how things go for all of them in today’s race. It could make this points race even closer with the drama to match.

This being a short track, a lot can happen at any time that could change the look of the points race for any or all three of the ones I just mentioned. With the rule changes made to the front end of the cars, it is possible for just about anything to happen to any of them that could cost them in points dearly. All it takes is a big pileup with a lot of front-end contact. Just being in the wrong place at the wrong time with the weaker frontends could make the difference between having a good day and a bad one.

With thirty-eight cars on the track at once. There is also the elevated possibility of an encounter with the old nemesis, “bad racing luck,” and the difference between having a good points day and a very bad one. I realize there is no guarantee that nothing bad will happen to those at the top of the points list, but there is equally no guarantee that something bad will happen. It can all come down to that thing called racing luck.

Speaking of bad racing luck, there is something that stands out to this fan, and it concerns a former champion. Yeah, I’m sure you know I’m talking about Kyle Larson. There is something that jumps out to me concerning just how much run-ins with bad racing luck can affect a driver’s season. Looking at the stats, Kyle has led 637 laps so far this season, which is second only to leader Denny Hamlin. He has taken more stage points than leader Hamlin at 169 to Hamlin’s 151. Because of his struggles in some of the races, he only has 594 points which puts him in sixth spot in the points standings and 197 points behind the leader.

From this fan’s view, he has his work cut out for himself if he wants to catch up to the present leaders. In fact, if his run of bad luck continues, he may have trouble even making the cut for the Chase. If things had gone a little differently for him during this season, he could have been in the top four and maybe even the top two and just ahead of Reddick. If that doesn’t say something about how having some really bad race days mixed in with some really good ones can make the difference between a championship year and a mediocre one, I don’t know what does.

Look, I know the season isn’t over yet, but time is running out. Not just for some… but for everyone who has hopes of making the Chase. North Wilkesboro Speedway may make a way for someone, but it could also break bad for another. With all that’s going on, the season could turn out even worse for one or more of the front-runners. That is one of the things we won’t know for sure until this one is over…

Hey, this is Russ and that’s my view… See ya next time…

From a NASCAR Fan’s View

It’s summer. It’s hot. It’s near the middle of July. The Cup teams are once again taking on the EchoPark Speedway. The track is notoriously slippery at this time of year. The only fortunate thing about this race is that the Cup teams are racing early evening into the night, and that will make a difference as this one progresses.

Two Fords sit on the front row, ready to lead the field to the green. In fact, there are a total of four Fords starting in the top ten and six Chevys. I know it’s very obvious, but does anything jump out at you from the lineup for this one? Yeah, that’s right; there are no Toyotas in the top ten.

Erik Jones is the first one, and he qualified eleventh. The next Toyota doesn’t show up until twentieth. That would be the JGR Toyota of Chase Briscoe. That in itself is a big change from the norm lately. I realize the Toyotas don’t always qualify well, but Denny Hamlin has often qualified pretty well, and he is starting twenty-eighth. In fact, all of the Toyotas except one are starting from the twentieth to thirty-second spots and even this fan is surprised by that.

I know what you’re thinking… Yeah, but…

I agree with that, yeah, but. The Toyotas do usually show up at or near the front when the laps are winding down to the conclusion of a race. Especially the JGR Toyotas.

Maybe that’s why this fan is so surprised by the qualifying and where they sit to start the Quaker State 400. The usual suspects for qualifying better, and mostly those Toyotas, are starting way in the back. That may not surprise many of you, but it did surprise me this weekend.

If I can get personal for a little bit, I know it is obvious, week in and week out, that I’m a Chevy fan. That doesn’t mean I only like the drivers that drive Chevys, but it does mean I am a bit partial to the ones in Chevys. I suppose that is a carryover from my days growing up and when I used to race. I owned Chevys, I ran Chevys, I won races in Chevys, I won a few championships in Chevys at my local tracks, and I used to drive only Chevys as my personal transportation. Of course, as a family, we don’t own just Chevys anymore, but I am still a Chevy fan.

So, this week, it was good to see five Chevys qualifying in the top seven and another in ninth. Of course, you know it is also hard for me not to show a definite bias towards the Hendrick Chevys. I know I shouldn’t be biased, but I have been following Hendrick racing of all types for a long time. Although I like all four of the Hendrick drivers and teams, I guess it is pretty obvious that Kyle Larson is the one I follow more closely than the others, but that doesn’t rule out the other three. Truth be told, I was following Kyle Larson even before he joined the Hendrick camp.

In fact, I think it’s great that there are other Chevy teams beginning to show up with speed other than just Hendrick. I’m a Ross Chastain fan as well and he hails from Alva, Florida, and that is close to where I live. TrackHouse Racing, Spire Motorsports, Kaulig, and RCR are all on my radar every week. I am a very happy fan when any of the Chevys qualify well and run up front, especially now that they finally seem to be adjusting to the new Camaro body style. (Gee, it’s only taken them a little over half the season to get this far.)

Yeah, I like those Penske and RFK Fords, too. I don’t usually pull for them to win over the Chevy guys, but they are much too talented to overlook. Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, and yes, Chris Beuscher, Ryan Preece, and Austin Cindric all need a win and could take one today.

I think this season in particular, I have diagnosed myself with Toyota overload syndrome. Not that I have anything against them, other than that they always seem to be stomping the competition at the end of races. I mean, just look at how many wins they have just between Denny Hamlin and Tyler Reddick. Christopher Bell is healing up and just may surprise us all when this one is over.

So, here’s how I think today is going to go, and I know I’m not alone in this assessment. No matter what the qualifying lineup looks like, when it comes to the end of the race, the Toyotas will most likely be somewhere near the front or even leading. That’s just the way things usually happen at EchoPark Speedway. As usual, running one lap at a chart-topping top speed is nothing like running 400 miles and consistently running down and passing the competition for the win. If past races from this season are used as a guide, there will likely be a Toyota or two pressing forward for the win. I could be wrong in my assessment, but that is the way I see this one going…

Hey, this is Russ and that’s my view… See ya next time…

From a NASCAR Fan’s View

It’s been seven long years since the NASCAR Cup teams have visited this place called the Chicagoland Speedway, but that’s exactly what they’re doing on this race day. In fact, there are two races taking place as they take to the track for the Eero 400, but then that isn’t news to you or me. There are eight races left for the drivers and teams to qualify for the Chase, and that isn’t news either.

So, is there really anything new about this race?

Not really. NASCAR hasn’t visited this track in seven years. The track has been largely ignored for that length of time, and its racing surface is the oldest, if not one of the oldest, on the NASCAR circuit. In other words, it is old and rough and even more of a challenge than it was seven years ago.

Even though the challenge is real, it didn’t seem to affect the two starting on the front row. One one-thousandth of a second separates Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson in their qualifying times. The question that comes to mind for this fan is: will it make a difference in how the race ends?

The quick answer is one I often give as a fan. Probably not. Qualifying is one thing; the race is another. I hardly ever consider how they qualify as a definite view of the race’s outcome. There are just too many variables that can take place over the planned 400 miles of this or any race.

Since that is how I usually look at a race, I have to admit this one might go against my usual thinking. There are several reasons for that and one of them has to do with the strength the Toyotas have shown over most of this 2026 season. In particular, the strength of the JGR and 23XI teams. Denny Hamlin has four wins and a bunch of poles this season. When it didn’t look like he had a chance to win when a race started, he has come from the back of the field twice to take the win. One of those times, he started on the pole, ended up in the back, and still managed to pull off the win. Honestly, he is having a banner year, and he has never looked as strong as he does this season.

There was a time, as I watched qualifying, when I thought all six JGR and 23XI Toyotas would take the top six starting positions and that they might just take the top six spots when the race was over, and it was going to be another race dominated by the Toyota teams. Instead, Kyle Larson’s Hendrick Chevy and the RFK Fords of Chris Buescher and Brad Keselowski qualified second, third, and fourth. However, it is worth noting that all but one of the JGR and 23XI Toyotas qualified in the top eight. Tyler Reddick was the only one of the six who didn’t make the top ten, but he did qualify thirteenth. It is also worth noting that his qualifying time was only a little over two tenths of a second slower than pole sitter Hamlin.

There are more questions that come to my mind. From this fan’s view, one has to wonder if this will finally be the day Kyle Larson ends his string of no wins stretching back to last season. I also wonder whether one of the two RFK Fords might get their first win of the season. Either way, when I consider how the Toyotas have been running this season, I have to admit that I’m not really expecting that to happen, although it might be a pleasant surprise.

The second part of this race is sort of a race amongst the drivers themselves. You and I both know it as The In-Season Challenge. In the end, one of them will win a million dollars, so it really continues during every race for four weeks. This is the second week with two to go afterward.

Today’s race will be challenging for several reasons. The track surface is old, and it will eat tires faster than normal. That will be, and has been, the norm this year and part of what the drivers wanted out of the tires provided by Goodyear. The track is rough, and that is a challenge for the Gen 7 cars. There are many reasons for that, but almost every driver, crew chief, and fan is familiar with it. The driver who does a good job controlling tire wear will give himself an advantage that could result in a surprise winner. As usual, strategy will be an important part of today’s race. A lot will be riding on the decisions made as the race progresses. Of course, a lot depends on whether there are a bunch of caution flags, especially near the end.

I know I’ve only mentioned a few I think will do well today. But there are a bunch of hungry drivers who want to pull off the win. That, amongst other reasons, is why I really haven’t been suggesting a winner in recent weeks. The Toyotas appear to have a performance advantage over the Fords and Chevys, but I’m not ruling anyone out.

Now, since this seems to be a day of questions from this fan’s view, I have to ask at least one more. Is there enough time for anyone to overtake Hamlin or Reddick for the points lead before the Chase?

From Living It Daily

It was a typical long day working my service business, and it was also one that was busier than usual. Of course, it was my busy season, so it was to be expected, but there seemed to be more people than usual, too. On top of all that, the traffic was heavier than usual. I was working in my usual service area, Fort Myers Beach, which covered seven miles of condos, hotels, motels, and rental and private homes.

To be honest, because I knew my service schedule was full, I had started the day earlier than usual and was running behind. Almost every service call had taken longer than it should, and the heavy traffic didn’t help either. It was late in the day, and I had finally finished a call at mid-island and was headed to my last one of the day. It was after 5 pm, and I was really tired, looking forward to heading home for supper and getting some rest.

I remember I was about half a mile from that last call, running along in a line of traffic, but we were traveling at around the 35-mph speed limit. Suddenly, my service van began to sputter and miss, and then it died. I began to look for a place where I could safely pull off the road and eased my way onto the shoulder. Somewhat confused, I began to assess my situation, tried to start my van, and while it was cranking, I looked at the dash and noticed the gas gauge.

That’s when my memory kicked in. I was supposed to buy gas on my way to work that morning. I noticed I had just under a quarter of a tank when I got home the evening before, and I had been running on that amount of gas all day. Basically, I had been running on empty.

So, I guess you’re probably wondering what this has to do with anything at all other than the frustration of running out of gas late on a workday.

Well, I was thinking about that day a couple of mornings ago and considering my personal situation over the last couple of months. With all that is going on in the world around us and in my own life, I have had trouble getting motivated. I have had trouble finding my way on some days, and on others, it seems I am just struggling to survive the problems life throws my way.

I tend to blame most of this on a thing I struggle with at times called mild depression. I’ve been told it is common and many people are affected by it in one way or another, especially creative people. Some associate it with melancholy, and it is a mild depression of sorts, at least the way I understand it.

You see, sometimes I get overwhelmed with the problems that come my way and the state of the world and where it seems to be headed. I don’t believe I am alone in feeling overwhelmed. In fact, I will go one step further. Some or many of you may be experiencing these very same things. You have your own situations, but the feeling of being overwhelmed is common for many as opposed to the few.

Maybe you have had a rough time with work or are struggling financially. Perhaps your life has been turned upside down because of a physical struggle or illness. Maybe you are facing a very difficult and stressful family situation. The emotions are high but the resolutions seem distant. I don’t know what you face daily, just as you don’t know what I face on a daily basis.

What I do know is that things happen with regularity, and some are good, while others are difficult. When you feel like you’re running on empty, you probably are. The best thing you can do first is admit you are overwhelmed – running on empty – and take a step back to assess your situation.

Here’s the part of that day I haven’t told you about yet — what I actually did about it. I still had that last service call waiting on me, but I couldn’t get to it because I was out of gas and couldn’t go anywhere. As I thought about my options, I knew I didn’t have any roadside service agreement like AAA or others. I considered walking the two miles back to a gas station to borrow a can and grab a gallon of gas. That would have taken a lot of time, but I could have done it as a last resort. I thought about calling a tow truck, but I didn’t want to do that unless I absolutely had to. I had to do something.

Fortunately, my story did have a happy ending that day. I remembered a business acquaintance and friend who lived a couple of miles from where I was. If she were home and answered her phone, perhaps she could help me. I called, she answered, and she not only could help, but she also had a gas can, bought a couple of gallons of gas, and brought it to where I was stranded — problem solved. I was able to go to the service call, drive back to the gas station, get gas, and head home with no further problems, all thanks to her helping me out.

That’s why I say, if you feel as though you’re running on empty and don’t know what to do, take a step back, take a breath, assess your situation, and maybe there is a trusted friend or acquaintance you can call and maybe just talk. You never know; they may have an answer you haven’t considered, and they can fill your tank…

From the Norman TV View

If you read my last article here on the Norman TV View, you already know where this is headed. Cord-cutting, which started as a way to escape the rising costs of cable and satellite, has come full circle. Instead of liberation from the cord, we’ve simply rebooted it. The cord is still there — it’s just delivering our programming through the internet now instead of a coaxial cable in the wall. Same destination, different road.

So why did we cut the cord to begin with? That’s a great question, and honestly, one I’ve been asking myself more and more lately.

The original reason was simple: reduce the cost of watching our favorite programming. We bought antennas, streaming boxes, and plug-in devices to receive what we wanted without paying a cable or satellite bill. And there were some genuinely good things that came out of the transition to digital broadcasting. Picture quality improved significantly.

Reception got better over time as the old analog channels disappeared and people figured out the right antennas for their situations.

Speaking of antennas — allow me to get a little technical for just a moment. Feel free to skip the next paragraph if that’s not your thing.

Digital reception was a finicky beast after the transition, and here’s the simple reason why. With the old analog signals, you might remember something called “ghosting” — that double or blurry image on your screen caused by what engineers call multi-path interference. Annoying, but you could still watch. With digital signals, that same interference doesn’t give you a blurry picture — it kills the signal entirely. The digital data streams fall out of sync, and the processor simply can’t sort it out. That’s an oversimplification, but it matters if you use or plan to use an antenna. I covered this in my 2019 book, and after years of living with digital signals, I’ve learned even more. It’s a topic I’ll likely revisit here in a future article.

On the positive side, the number of digital channels available in my area has more than doubled in the last seven years, making antenna use more appealing than ever for cord-cutters. The catch is that antenna alone won’t get you everything you want to watch — and that’s exactly where the apps come in.

And that brings us to the heart of this article.

We are getting weary. As a whole, cord-cutters are exhausted by the maze of apps, subscriptions, and monthly fees required just to watch what we want, when we want to watch it. Streaming fatigue is real, and it’s settling in fast. The biggest driver, from where I sit, is cost. There are more apps than ever, most of them carrying a monthly or yearly fee, and the total keeps climbing. I mentioned in my last article that I’m personally paying about $20 more per month now than I did with cable — and getting less programming for it. I don’t think I’m alone in that.

With everything going on in the world today and prices rising across the board — gas, groceries, you name it — paying an ever-growing stack of app fees is getting harder to justify. People are starting to ask whether it’s worth it, and some are seriously considering going back to cable or satellite. Others are just cutting things off entirely.

In my opinion, the blame falls squarely on programming providers who needed to replace the income they lost when cord-cutting took off. Originally, they had a reliable revenue stream through cable and satellite re-providers. When people started leaving, that stream dried up. So they found another way to get it back — first by adding sports channels in separate tiers, then by launching their own apps, and, more recently, by pulling their original programming from other platforms to make their own apps more desirable. Every move is designed to bring the money back.

Now, I’ll soften that a little. “Force” is probably too strong a word for what they did. They simply gave viewers a choice: pay the fee and keep watching, or don’t. Reasonable enough on the surface. The problem is that those “minimal costs” have multiplied across so many providers that the total stopped being minimal a long time ago. The number of apps has at least doubled, and they’ve effectively become the new cable companies — just smaller, more numerous, and without the one-bill convenience.

Where does it go from here? In my opinion, cable and satellite providers aren’t going away — but they will continue adapting. DirecTV is already streaming its programming while still maintaining satellite service, and I believe their long-term plan is to phase satellite out entirely. Streaming will continue to grow in importance across the board. And costs will keep rising until providers either price themselves out of the market or viewers simply decide enough is enough and walk away.

That last scenario — what happens when viewers reach their breaking point — is worth its own conversation, and one I plan to have here soon.

But that’s just the Norman TV View. Time will tell if I’m right…
