This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. For a lark I asked Google for NASCAR headlines from September, 2005; fourteen years ago. The lead story from Fortune Magazine was telling. Remember Nextel Cup? The Allstate 400 at the Brickyard? $740 million, ten-year sponsorships? At the time NASCAR officials were puffing…

This was one of the first, though. And you can hear why Richard is one called The King. He treated nobodies…
NBC Racing Analyst Dale Earnhardt is a strange sentence to write. Dale Junior had an excellent racing career winning championships and races in NASCAR before his retirement. But his broadcast career could surpass even his sometimes brilliance on a racetrack. His contribution to NBC’s Indy 500 broadcast Sunday was just an example of what’s might…
Retired NASCAR Cup driver Carl Edwards was a regular with The Freaks when he visited in 2007 at Texas Motor Speedway. He came in with his Mom and we wanted to reprise the visit on Mother’s Day Sunday night. Edwards and Tony Stewart battled for a Cup title in 2011 before a tie-breaker game the…
