Parks Pit Report: Advocare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway

The Wonder Boy. The Rainbow Warrior.  The Big Daddy. Normally those three nicknames would go to three completely different individuals.  Not in NASCAR, they all at one time belonged to one man, Jeff Gordon. The first nickname came thanks to the late Dale Earnhardt, who gave him that moniker in 1995 after Gordon beat him [...]

Parks Pit Report: Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol

It is simply amazing what one race can do for a team that wasn’t having a great year by any standards, despite already having a win under it’s belt.  But, the No. 2 Miller Lite team of Penske Racing, with Brad Keselowski at the wheel, has simply been on a charge since the month of [...]

Parks Pit Report: Pure Michigan 400 from Michigan International Speedway

When it gets down to the final month before the Chase, tensions among drivers that are either in, on the cusp of being in, or just barely outside looking in, are higher than ever. This year, with the change in the points system and how they are given to drivers each week, it has created [...]

Parks Pit Report: Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at the Glen

Any race fan knows that when rain hits a race track, one of two things will happen…either it will be a long delay, or it will be a postponement.  In NASCAR, it means a Sunday race is moved to a Monday. It also means one big thing for the average man or woman that works [...]

Parks Pit Report: Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway

The Brickyard.  Just saying those two words puts a cold feeling down every driver’s spine because they don’t just represent a track.  It’s more like representing an institution. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway celebrated 100 years of action this year.  That’s older than any track in the United States that has hosted auto racing.  It’s a [...]

Parks Pit Report: Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway

There’s something about being the first to do something in NASCAR that makes someone stand out.  Honestly, driver Kyle Busch has done many of those in his career. He became the first driver to win with Toyota, and also became the youngest driver to win a NASCAR race when he got his first win back [...]

Parks Pit Report: Coke Zero 400 at Daytona

Every one of us has experienced moments where we wish we could redeem ourselves.  Maybe it was something a friend asked you to do, but couldn’t pull through at the last minute.  Maybe it was that job you were asked to do, but it took longer than anticipated. When it comes to NASCAR, there aren’t [...]

Parks Pit Report: Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway

I never exactly know what to anticipate when NASCAR goes road racing.  It’s something that is not usual to what they do on a weekly basis.  It is one of those styles where the best drivers can either excel or struggle. At the same time, I never know what to expect from the track itself.  [...]

Parks Pit Report: Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 at Michigan

Probably one of the most popular tracks among both drivers and fans alike has to be the Michigan International Speedway.  I should know, since I’ve been there. My dad and I went to this track in 2001 with a couple friends.  We didn’t know what to expect since I hadn’t been to a race in [...]

Parks Pit Report: 5-Hour Energy 500 at Pocono Raceway

Without question, the Pocono Raceway is a track where either one loves it or one hates it.  That certainly applies in the case of Sunday’s 5-Hour Energy 500 at the famed triangle track. This is the reason why.  Pocono has a complete length of 2.5 miles.  That is the same length as both Daytona and [...]
