The weekend of racing at the half-mile short track will culminate with the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 on Saturday night. For only the second time in the track’s storied history, they will be racing under the lights. This time, there will be fans in the stands. Check out our updated NASCAR Cup Series standings and stats article ahead of this weekend’s racing at “The Half Mile of Mayhem!”…

The NASCAR Cup Series returned to the dirt for the first time since 1970 on Monday. Yes, Monday, as Sunday was a total washout with Tennessee experiencing a flash flood. Bristol Motor Speedway parking lots saw the flooding first hand. When NASCAR finally got around to racing on Monday, we saw a lot of drivers have problems with the dirt for various reasons. Some were perhaps related to the rain that struck Bristol this weekend. In the end, Joey Logano became the seventh different driver to win a Cup Series race in 2021 as he triumphed in the Food City…

For the first time in 50 years, NASCAR’s premier series is going dirt racing. The seventh race of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season will be run at Bristol Motor Speedway on dirt. The Food City Dirt Race replaces the Food City 500 for this season. Whether you are Team “Dirt is for Racing” or Team “Dirt is for Farming”, I think we can all agree that we are in for an interesting weekend of racing. Unless you are one who remembers all the way back to the 1970 NASCAR season, the Cup Series racing on dirt is something we…
How about a season review of the NFL’s most famous choke artists? We may never know how the Atlanta Falcons manage to give away game after game in the fashion that they do. Given the talent on the team, the results just don’t add up. The clock may have already ticked on their Super Bowl window. Atlanta Falcons Fail to Fly The Atlanta Falcons opened up their 2020 campaign with a home matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The offense would rack up over 500 yards, but they also turned the ball over twice. Russell Wilson made them pay with four…
The Los Angeles Chargers became the “Atlanta Falcons 2.0” with their uncanny ability to lose games in the ways they did. On a more positive note, Justin Herbert easily outperformed expectations in his rookie season. The rest of the Chargers (besides Joey Bosa) all were let downs throughout the year. Los Angeles Chargers Start Season Off Right The Los Angeles Chargers started their season in Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. Joe Burrow would take on Justin Her… wait the Chargers started Tyrod Taylor? That’s right, Anthony Lynn is a thief of joy. This game came down to the kickers…
There weren’t the typical high expectations surrounding the Minnesota Vikings 2020 season. The Vikings were perhaps better than anticipated and came quite close to earning a spot in the NFC Playoffs. Unfortunately, that wasn’t to be. Minnesota Vikings Fall Flat to Begin Season The season started out against the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings offense did its job in this game but the defense was terrible. Minnesota allowed over 500 yards to the Green Bay offense in route to the 43-34 loss. Against the Indianapolis Colts the following week, neither side of the ball did their job. The Vikings offense…
Here we go with the New York Giants 2020 season review. This team definitely outperformed expectations as many thought they would be third or fourth in the division. As you’ll see, many surprises helped them to almost make the playoffs. New York Giants Struggle Out of the Gates The Giants started out their season playing the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. They had two different leads in this game until Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh offense finally woke up. Roethlisberger threw 3 touchdowns and that would be enough to hand the Giants a 26-16 Week 1 loss. The Giants…
Perhaps blowing a 24-0 lead in last year’s Divisional Round was more a sign of things to come for the Houston Texans than we thought. This team is now an actual dumpster fire and you can thank Bill O’Brien for that. O’Brien really let this team go to trash for his own personal “gain”. If being fired can be called a gain, that is. The brilliance of trading DeAndre Hopkins for an injury-prone running back and some lowly draft picks is something that literally only O’Brien himself seemed to see. Gee Bill, why doesn’t every coach trade away their best…
The NASCAR Cup Series returned to action on Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The Folds Of Honor QuikTrip 500 was the sixth race of the season meaning that we are now 1/6 of the way through the 2021 season. The race was dominated by Kyle Larson until a late winning pass by the Penske Ford of Ryan Blaney gave us the sixth different winner of the season.
