The 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Sam’s Town 300 race just didn’t hold my interest today while it was on. The event was rain delayed for about 90 minutes, and it was a dreary day here as well, so maybe that had some subliminal effect on my reaction.
It could be …

I’m really disappointed by the way NASCAR races have been going lately and I think a lot of that falls onto the new car they’ve been running. This new car is making things safer and supposedly better, but it’s also making things a lot more boring. I’m used to …

Now that Donovan McNaab’s season is over, I think it’s time for him to consider retirement or, at very least, a change of location.
McNaab was a solid starter for the Eagles for several years. However, I credit that to his mobility and to a solid defense.
After two straight season-ending …
