There is a reason my son's middle name is Dave. No better way to celebrate the boy's first Turkey Day than with yet another classic victory for the Legend. Congrats Dave!!!

From the most reliable source I know...Levi shoved Stanbrough into the wall. Stanbrough flipped onto the track and hit Ballou on the front of the cage. Jon went over and gave Levi a talking to while...

I've seen Senna, read his autobiography, and been an F1(mainly Ferrari) fan for years upon years. The cars then were at the peak of technology ...the '93 Williams is widely regarded as the most...

Stopped by the track after work this morning and it looked fantastic...let's hope this 50/50 chance of storms will play in our favor. After the blow of losing "The Rocket," the only way to heal is...

Attended my first Little 500 last year and it was amazing. A fantastic duel between Gordon and Steele with the winning pass made just 27 or so laps from the finish...unbelievable. I don't see us...

Re: Gas city updates??

As a long time fan of Dave...this was one to put in the memory bank. I felt before the race that Jones would probably put Dave away, but "The Legend" earned his moniker by driving low, high, and...

The Camping World East Series only runs 10 races during the year, so I would certainly hope that Cole is going to be running some USAC and maybe local stuff in his down time. Good luck Cole...in...

The entire feature during ISW at Kamp...but especially the last few laps. From the battle between Stanbrough and Darland, to Whitt taking them both, to Darland fighting back up high to swipe it from...

I'm not a big guy by any means, but there is no way that piece of trash was getting near my mom...she would have had a much bigger problem before that.
