The Winston Cup Museum is located on the edge of downtown Winston-Salem, NC. It was opened in 2005 as a tribute to RJR Tobacco's (RJRT) sponsorship of NASCAR for 33 years. The museum was built and maintained by the owners' own resources, without funding from NASCAR or RJRT or any government...

There isn't much technical discussion about racing on here, and it could be that people just aren't so interested. So when a technical question comes up I try to respond, and I admit that I get long-winded. I don't want to annoy everybody, so here is a poll for you to tell me what you think...

One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." I said "WHAT??!! What was that?!" So she says the words that every man on the planet dreads to hear; "You're just not in...

Made time to read another old Stock Car Racing magazine, this one dated March 1977. With publishing lead times back then, this issue mostly covered the end of the 1976 season. Here are some interesting points: Rich Benyo reports that Humpy Wheeler noted that the Late Model Sportsman Division...

Wondering if anybody on here is fielding a race car, or working on a racing team, this coming season? Looks like I may be sitting out another season. Had one owner sort-of ask me (he wouldn't commit - I think he was phishing), but I didn't make any promises to him. Have had him do this to me...

Racing at Bowman-Gray has been fairly out-of-control for years, but now it's getting out-of-hand... https://myfox8.com/2018/08/06/winston-salem-police-statement-explains-points-gun-at-bowman-gray-driver-investigate-racing-conflict/

Read another old Stock Car Racing magazine from that old stack – February 1976. Here’s some interesting takes on things going on back then: Engine failures were common in big races, including NASCAR Grand National (Winston Cup) series races. Few cars on the lead lap at the finish was also...

Bought some old Stock Car Racing magazines the other day – various months from the mid 1970s. Reading the first one – May 1975 – throws some interesting perspectives when you already know how the story ended later. Some highlights: Race cars were too expensive, and a sour economy was hurting...

My wife sidled up to me, threw her arms around me, and purred in my ear “do that thing I love…” So I vacuumed the floors. (Got a nice dinner for it too!)

With racing so expensive, I figured sponsorship money would be welcome. But I guess it’s not welcome unless it’s free – and unless it chases you down and forces itself upon you. Recently I met a business owner who wanted to get broader exposure and was interested in sponsoring a sports team...

In case I don't see you tomorrow, Happy Pi Day! Have some pie in honor of Pi!

Is Jeb Burton the only Rookie Of The Year contender for 2015 in the Sprint Cup? Only other fulltime entry I heard was Trevor Bayne, but he's ineligible due to having already run too many Sprint Cup races.

My buddy called me up last night. Said, "They just arrested me for being the ugliest man in town! Come down here so they can see they got the wrong one!"
