NASCAR

I can vividly remember 14 years ago today sitting in front of my television watching the Daytona 500 and cheering for Dale Earnhardt to win the race. He was right there and then tragedy hit.

We have almost made it through the toughest few weeks of the year for a sports fan. The time between when the Super Bowl ends and the beginning of the NASCAR season is a vast wasteland of nothingness.

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart ran over and killed 20-year-old driver Kevin Ward, Jr. Saturday night, Aug. 10, at a dirt track race in New York.

With a performance that had fans screaming and his signature dance moves on hand, Bryan was definitely a 'winner' at the Daytona 500.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. vowed before the race that he'd join Twitter if he won the Daytona 500. Late Sunday night, that statement turned into reality.

Who says older guys have a problem getting the pole? Certainly not former Viagra-sponsored driver Mark Martin. Martin, 54, became the second-oldest driver to secure a Sprint Cup pole when he finished with the best speed during Friday's qualifying for the Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway scheduled for this Sunday.

Matt Kenseth held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Greg Biffle to win his 2nd Daytona 500. The race started under the lights last night because of number of rain delays, but didn’t finish until early this morning because of a fiery crash involving Juan Pablo Montoya. NASCAR delayed the race for 2 hours after Montoya slammed into a Jet Dryer Truck during a caution.

For the 1st time in its 54th history, the Daytona 500 has been postponed for Rain. More rain in the forecast today will make it a night race. The 500 has been pushed back to 5 p.m. tonight (Mountain Time) It rained all afternoon yesterday and then a rainy forecast for the evening prevented NASCAR from running the Race under the lights last night.

My friends and I will all be watching NASCAR's biggest race today, The Daytona 500. The 500 kicks off the Sprint Cup season, which happened to be a very exciting one.   Last year's race was won by20-year-old rookie Trevor Bayne.  It shocked everyone! The hottest driver at the end of last season was Tony Stewart and he ended up winning the Sprint Cup! So who is it going to win at Daytona this year?

Craig Campbell is revving his engines. The ‘Family Man’ singer will make his way down to the Daytona International Speedway this coming weekend, where he will headline the Coca-Cola stage in the Midway Fan Zone prior to the start of the Daytona 500. Campbell will hit the stage at 10:45 AM ET on Sunday, Feb. 26. He is slated to play a free, 90-minute set. Yes, you read right. The show is free. Read

The Statesville Record-Landmark reported that Kyle Busch was pulled over by the Iredell County Sheriff's department going 128 mph in a 45-mph zone; 3 times over the legal speed limit.  Hey, if your going to drive a race car for a living I guess it's bound to happen.

Brad Paisley's "Old Alabama" has been climbing the charts for weeks now, but when you go to Youtube, still no video! That is about to change. Paisley who is a huge NASCAR fan, and good buddies with driver Jeff Gordon, decided to debuet the video a unique way. Paisley and a special guest will sit down and chat in an interview with the Speed Channel, between 3-4PM. During the interview,
