LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers was chosen as the NBA’s MVP on May 4th at 4 p.m. The season saw a race for the title between James and Kobe Bryant of the L.A. Lakers, who claimed the title for the first time last year. But James’ phenomenal efforts paid off this season; he outperformed Bryant in both offense and defense and at the same time led the Cavs to the top seed. written by Richard Paul
The lack of sponsorship for numerous teams in the Sprint Cup garage is further proof that NASCAR is not immune to the economic recession. Some of NASCAR’s top organizations are experiencing sponsorship issues. In the 1990’s and even early 2000’s, sponsoring a NASCAR team was actually a bargain. Proctor and Gamble and its Tide brand sponsored a NASCAR team from 1987 to 2005 before pulling out. After Chip Ganassi Racing merged with Dale Earnhardt Inc., they had hoped to field four full-time teams. The team is trying to remain optimistic. written by Richard Paul
As the sport grew, drivers continued to race their own cars; however, drivers began to accept rides with established teams owned by former drivers or businessmen.
Michael Waltrip Racing became one of Toyota’s flagship teams. That is rare in driver/owner situations, but Waltrip’s no ordinary driver. Tony Stewart, the two-time champion, joined the ranks of driver/owners. He acquired fifty percent ownership in what is now Stewart Haas Racing, formerly Haas CNC Racing. Harvick also owns a Camping World Truck Series team. written by Richard Paul
Jimmie Johnson does not receive the media attention that other drivers such as Dale Earnhardt Jr, Tony Stewart, or even Jeff Gordon demand. Johnson is regarded as one of the good guys. Having a nice guy image does not take away on track achievements. Johnson is still NASCAR’s top driver at the moment. Jimmie Johnson is not the only nice guy in NASCAR that is sometimes disregarded. Kenseth opened the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup season with wins at Daytona and California, yet he is not ‘The Story’ in NASCAR. written by Richard Paul
It has been a week filled with complaining from the NASCAR fans that seem to thrive off negativity. The track does have lights and they could have raced until 2 am if they needed to, but NASCAR officials felt the need to call off the race. Basically, the fans claim that NASCAR favors Earnhardt Jr because of who he is, and because of his last name. They quickly forgot about the previous two pit road penalties that NASCAR levied to Earnhardt Jr and the No. 88 team. The rule is in effect to protect the top 35 teams and sponsors. written by Richard Paul
Winning back-to-back championships is a rare feat in NASCAR these days. Many fans and analysts perceived three consecutive championships in today’s NASCAR as virtually impossible to accomplish. Cale Yarborough won three championships in a row in 1976, 1977, and 1978. Even prior to his championship seasons, he was winning, and winning often. How would a fourth consecutive championship affect the sport of NASCAR? written by Richard Paul
Bill Elliott announced his retirement from full-time competition following the 2003 season. Nevertheless, he continued to compete on a part-time basis in 2004 with Evernham Motorsports. In 2005 and 2006, he continued his partial schedule, driving for Evernham Motorsports and Front Row Motorsports. In 2007, Elliott began driving for the Wood Brothers in select races, hoping to facilitate the team from a performance standpoint. Elliott returned to the Wood Brothers in 2008 for a partial schedule. In 2009, Elliott is expected to compete in at least twelve races. written by Jeremy Dunn Dunn
Most NASCAR fans will agree the Roush Fenway Racing, Hendrick Motorsports, Richard Childress Racing, and Joe Gibbs Racing are at the zenith of the sport when it comes to on-track performance and achievements. Earnhardt Ganassi Racing has their share of critics, but they have two talented drivers with solid sponsors. Montoya and Truex Jr are both capable of winning a race in 2009 with Earnhardt Ganassi Racing equipment. In due course, this team will flourish with Stewart and Newman as the drivers. Richard Petty Motorsports: Like Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, Richard Petty Motorsports is fresh off a merger and name change. Penske Racing: Kurt Busch is the only driver in Penske Racing’s three-team shop that can really threaten the big four. Ryan Newman won thirteen races in Penske Racing equipment, but bolted after three sub par seasons. Yates Racing: Yates Racing has made some bold moves this off-season. Red Bull Racing: Red Bull Racing has a couple of young drivers that will put it all on the line. Michael Waltrip Racing: David Reutimann is Michael Waltrip Racing’s strongest driver based on his result over the 2008 season. written by Jeremy Dunn Dunn
The term silly season is an extensively used term in the world of NASCAR. Take the 2007 season for example. In 2008, Roush Fenway Racing driver Jamie McMurray found himself in the midst of silly season discussions. Following the race at Bristol in March, which is only the fifth race of the season that encompassed 36 races, McMurray’s team had fallen outside the top 35 in owner’s points. By April,Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman dominated silly season headlines. written by Jeremy Dunn Dunn
Earnhardt, Jr. spent most of the first half of the season among the top three in the Sprint Cup championship standings. Only six drivers in the entire Sprint Cup series scored more top five finishes. Most significantly, Earnhardt, Jr. won a race, something that Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, and twenty-two other full-time drivers could not accomplish.
A true measure of a driver’s performance is the driver ratings. Driver rating’s are an intricate formula consisting of wins, finishes, top fifteen finishes, average running position while on the lead lap, average speed under green flag conditions, fastest laps, most laps led, and lead lap finishes. Earnhardt, Jr. finished the season with a driver rating of 99.0, which was fourth among all Sprint Cup drivers. Only Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson, and Kyle Busch produced a better driver rating than Earnhardt, Jr, whose rating was higher than Jeff Gordon, Greg Biffle, Kevin Harvick, and Tony Stewart.So fans, was Dale Earnhardt, Jr. really that awful? written by Jeremy Dunn Dunn
Who will win the 2009 Sprint Cup championship? How will Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman perform with the newly-formed Stewart Haas Racing? It will come down to Joe Gibbs Racing’s teenage driver Joey Logano, and former Formula One driver Scott Speed, who is driving the Red Bull Racing entry. Will Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth win a race? Kevin Harvick will also find victory lane in 2009. written by Ivaylo Kostadinov
