I had a chance to catch up with “Texas” Terry Labonte in the garage area today. He looked as if he was on a mission, but he was gracious enough to give me a quick minute. In our ongoing series, we have been asking drivers what their favorite tracks are on the circuit. Since so many drivers this week have said that Atlanta Motor Speedway, that was a natural lead. Unfortunately, I found out for him, that AMS was just the opposite.

A very special episode of our NASCAR Gas and Go podcast. I get to sit down with my son Dillon to talk about the great tradition of the Pinewood Derby and what Scouting means.

NASCAR 2010: It’s All About You (0)

It’s kind of funny how a single word can become a rallying cry for an entire nation. Some notable examples from the past include things like “freedom,” “equality,” and tragically in the past couple of weeks, “Haiti.”

From Victory Lane at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November 2009 through every speech at Champion’s Week in Las Vegas and every announcement made at the annual media tour in Charlotte earlier this week, one small word has been made into a very big deal.

NSCS: The Third Annual Loopies (0)

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Dec. 11, 2009) – Because a week’s worth of award ceremonies in Las Vegas wasn’t nearly enough time to divvy out accolades, NASCAR Public Relations needs one more opportunity to dole out some final pats on the back.

It’s time for the “Third Annual Loopy Awards,” a ceremony commemorating the best – and worst – Loop Data performances of the 2009 season.

The envelopes please…
