Racing from a Chicks Point of View

  • Back from the abiss...

    Hello out there! It's me! I received a comment from an old friend today and thought, "My lord, if Harold is worried about me, it's time to put my blogging hat back on."I'm not going to lie and say life isn't nuts. I'm working all of the time, and going' [...]

    So, shocker. Pocono was boring. I know I saw and heard from a lot of people that said the double file restart rule made it more interesting. That's cool. I think we're grabbing at straws, but whatever floats your boat. Why NASCAR continues to go to Pocono is one of' [...]

    This will be quick, but I just wanted to post something since this has been the story that won't end here at ChicksView. Rick Hendrick finally made the decision to separate Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Tony Eury, Jr. today. So now is the hard part. HMS needs to find someone' [...]

  • The biggest change is no change at all...

    Number of comments: 1
    So while everyone was at the NASCAR R&D Center on Monday, covering their eyes, cringing and bracing themselves for whatever Brian France was going to throw at them this time, he went and surprised them by saying what we've been saying all along. Something along the lines of, "Let's just [...]

    Number of comments: 4
    So I woke up today and checked testing speeds, (although they don't matter) then read a million and four articles about testing, watched Dale Jr.'s presser, then went and got my car inspected, (passed, thank you very much to those people who say I need a new one! I loove [...]

  • The importance of testing...

    Number of comments: 6
    So here's the thing about testing, on the inside (and by inside I mean inside the teams) it's very important. In Daytona, they learn how the COT will react when on a restrictor plate track that involves handling and lots and lots of bumps, as well as the getting-to-know you [...]

    Now we're going to take a look back at the second half of the year/season just hour, hours (oh, the drama) before the new year begins. A new year which will see the new season start in just a few weeks, if you count Daytona testing, which I do because [...]
