Excuse me, please.  While it’s quiet, I would like to have everyone’s attention.  There is a roaring debate going on about noise and NASCAR. And since this has been my home for the past 30 years, it matters to me when fans are getting their information from the ill-informed. Earlier this week, someone leaked a story to the Sports Business Journal that NASCAR wants to make the cars quiet. That…

There may be a raging – or at least budding – debate about NASCAR being a little too loud emerging these days. But along a rowdy, packed Las Vegas strip on Thursday night, NASCAR did not hold back during an impressive hauler parade that appeared to please a large throng of fans and other passers-by who enjoyed the pageantry of it all. Roughly 6 p.m. local time –…

Remember in “Days of Thunder” when driver Cole Trickle, Tom Cruise’s character, pulls into the pits and crew chief Harry Hogge, Robert Duvall’s character, tells him to go back on track and hit the pace car, because he has hit every other (expletive) thing out there? Substitute “change” for “hit” and you have a good idea of what the real-life NASCAR brain trust did during the offseason. It’s common to…

In what very well may be the worst idea in modern sports history, NASCAR officials are considering dropping down the noise…

The last vestiges of British Cycling’s reputation appeared to be ripped to shreds last night by an independent review that accused it of allowing a “culture of fear”, with riders and staff bullied and a “dysfunctional leadership” allowed to flourish.

Brad Keselowski, who won Sunday’s Folds Of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, is a husband and father now and that responsibility is every bit as meaningful to him as his role as a top NASCAR driver. Here’s his take on what seems to be a blissful life with his 18-month-old daughter Scarlett and wife, Paige, whom he married in February: ▪ “I’m really lucky to be a race car…

When NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin built his new house in Charlotte, North Carolina, he made sure it included a basketball court. But he had no idea just how serious the basketball played on his court would get until he started a league a couple months ago with several other people from the racing world, known on Twitter as THE HOOP GROUP.
