Jonesin' for Speed: February 2009
http://jonesinforspeed.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2009. The putrid racing at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana (or whatever the southern California speedway is called nowadays) had me seriously contemplating switching to the Academy Awards late Sunday night. And this is coming from a guy who, not too long ago, thought “Slumdog Millionaires” was a film about landlords and the dilapidated apartments they rent to poor tenants. Would it kill someone to initiate a green flag pass for the lead more than just a couple times over 500 miles?

Jonesin' for Speed: July 2009
http://jonesinforspeed.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 13, 2009. The difference a series can make. Around a year ago, Dario Franchitti was beat up and washed out. Of NASCAR. Cup owner Chip Ganassi brought the former Indy star over to stock cars in 2008 in an attempt to race the woebegone No. 40 car and boost exposure to his team. But that experiment failed - miserably - and the Scotsman literally limped back to Indy Cars after a tough crash at Talladega. But now Franchitti is tearing up the IRL after winning his third race of the season.

Jonesin' for Speed: The end is nigh
http://jonesinforspeed.blogspot.com/2009/06/end-is-nigh.html
Friday, June 12, 2009. The end is nigh. Where is the guy with the sandwich board. Predicting the end of days? Because, that time is near for NASCAR fans. General Motors announced today it is cutting back its Chevrolet factory support. My biggest question is which car manufacturer Earnhardt will choose for his Nationwide team?

Jonesin' for Speed: December 2008
http://jonesinforspeed.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 1, 2008. Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009. The 2008 Sprint Cup season ends with a familiar face leading the way while the economy and NASCAR itself stare down the barrel of a potentially disastrous 2009. But before we as a country and beer-drinking racing fans embark down that treacherous path, it’s time to look at the 2008 season that can be summed up by five words: Busch, blown tires and Jimmie. In one of my first blog entries, I predicted the most important stories of the year. The Car of Tod...

Jonesin' for Speed: Mark's the man
http://jonesinforspeed.blogspot.com/2009/07/marks-man.html
Saturday, July 11, 2009. Who would've thought at the start of the season that Mark Martin would be the class of Hendrick Motorsports, let alone all of NASCAR? The old man has won four times this year, as he crushed the field and his three all-star teammates Saturday night at Chicagoland. The 50-year-old fought off Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne before taking the checkers late in the Illinois night. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The difference a series can make.

Jonesin' for Speed: America's meth addiction
http://jonesinforspeed.blogspot.com/2009/06/americas-meth-problem.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2009. For a while now, I’ve reserved judgment on this Jeremy Mayfield controversy because NASCAR refused to release many details about his positive drug test. But the recent revelation that Mayfield allegedly took meth is an undisputed game-changer. Methamphetamine. Is a dangerous and highly addictive drug, as I learned in my police reporting days at the Charleston (W.Va.) Daily Mail. Are unmistakable, so others should have been able to see some signs of Mayfield's alleged use. Some W...

Jonesin' for Speed: September 2008
http://jonesinforspeed.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. It would be a monumental understatement to say that Kyle Busch blew his shot at the Sprint Cup title. The driver and team that could do nothing wrong in the first 26 races have done nothing right over the past three weeks. And it couldn’t have happened at a worst time. Busch had what appeared to be an insurmountable 207-point lead before the Chase began, but because of the recalibrated standings. That was whittled down to merely 30 going into New Hampshire. 3 Kyle Busch (-124).
