Finally… the MENCS teams return from the West coast swing and take it to the short track at Martinsville. In this fan’s opinion, there’s no better way to come back East than to take on the half mile short track, the first short track of the 2019 season. Other than Kyle Bush taking his 200th […]

ACS In Southern California Is Next Up from a NASCAR Fan’s View
The last stop for this western sweep of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series is at the Auto Club Speedway in Southern California. If qualifying gives us any idea of what Sunday’s race will be like then… well… let’s just say it could be very different than the norm. I’m not saying it will be […]
MENCS Takes It To Las Vegas from a NASCAR Fan’s View
This is week three of the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season and it is the third week of changes to the cars. Beyond that, it is the first week of the full aero package we’ll see for the remainder of the season, depending on which tracks they’re at. From listening to all the […]
MENCS Takes It To Atlanta from a NASCAR Fan’s View
Wow! Less horsepower, more downforce and very little difference in speed. Well, at least that is the first impression of this NASCAR fan. I don’t know about you but I was more than a little surprised at the results so far for the new car and engine specs for the MENCS teams. Although there are […]
The 2019 Daytona 500 Kicks Off the New Season from a NASCAR Fan’s View
This Sunday afternoon the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series kicks off it’s new season. It isn’t billed as, “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” – that honor belongs to The Indianapolis 500.

There is something unique about the NASCAR Cup Championship. Many cars will be running the race but only […]
One Is In But Who Will Win At Phoenix from a NASCAR Fan’s View
It is amazing how quickly things can change at times. After the race last weekend at Texas, two were in by winning. Now, only one is in by winning and one that appeared to be in by winning is now on the edge of not being able to make it to the finale at Homestead […]
Texas Makes It Two To Go To Make The Show from a NASCAR Fan’s View
The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs are getting intense. There are three places left to make the show at Homestead and only two races left for someone to make it in other than by points. At the present there are eight drivers hoping to make the finale at Homestead. One, Joey Logano, is already […]
The Round Of Eight Begins At Martinsville from a NASCAR Fan’s View
Now it gets interesting. There are eight drivers and teams competing to make the final four and they have three races to do so. That means half of the ones previously competing to make the final four are now competing for the win at each of the next three tracks, Martinsville included. And then… there […]
Which Eight Will Remain After Kansas from a NASCAR Fan’s View
There is a definite difference in the feel and approach to this Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway. In some ways the tension is so thick it can be cut with a knife. In other ways, it is just the look on the faces of the drivers and teams trying to make […]
