iRacing releases new Nationwide car

(Image courtesy of iRacing News) iRacing released the new Nationwide car yesterday to pretty much rave reviews.  Almost everyone I know who races and who’s tried the car has had nothing but good things to say about how it handles. Additionally, the car comes with the first release of the new tire model. This in [...]

iRacing – and my review of it

This is my review of iRacing.  For those of you who may not know what iRacing is, you can get some more information by going to their website at www.iracing.com.  Essentially, iRacing is a racing simulation that spans almost all forms of racing on asphalt or concrete – NASCAR, IndyCar, CART (or Champ Car),  Touring [...]

Danica Patrick makes NASCAR history

Just freakin’ awesome. When Patrick decided to make the move to the Nationwide Series and begin racing for Jr. Motorsports, I was ecstatic.  I don’t  normally follow Indy cars, but I have been somewhat of a fan of Patrick regardless.  The news that she was making the move to NASCAR was really good news… in [...]

Another Year, Another NASCAR Title

Well, another season of NASCAR gone… and yet another Championship win for Jimmy Johnson.  That makes it five years in a row. Now, I don’t dislike Jimmy… in fact, for many years he was one of my favorite drivers.  However, for the past three years now, the novelty of having Johnson constantly beat everybody else [...]

Late Night Racing – Daytona 150 (MLDesigns Truck Series)

So. Last night – Thursday, February 10th 2010 – was the Late Night Racing League’s first Truck race of the season (sponsored by MLDesigns). I’ve pretty much been waiting for this race now for the last couple months, I couldn’t wait to get back on the track with the bunch of guys I run with [...]

ASCORS – New Hampshire

Well, I had hoped to be able to make a better accounting of myself from last years race at New Hampshire. Last year it was my first race with the League, and I ended up parking the car after two self spins. My setup was just not all that great and I was unable to [...]

Bristol this last weekend

Well, my personal sentiments about Kyle “KY” Busch have finally been summed up perfectly – and by his own loud, obnoxious mouth no less. Kyle Busch’s post race Bristol comments I don’t really think anything else needs to be said – except that obviously little boy Kyle has a major inferiority complex with Dale Jr. [...]

Las Vegas – Sunday’s Race

Ok, I’m venting a bit here. I’d hoped that, now that the new season was upon us, that the Kyle Busch (better known to me and others I know who hate him as much as I do as either “little boy Kyle” or “KY”) faboy club in NASCAR – most notably, the announcers (Mike Joy, [...]

A Note about Bristol

Last weekend’s race at Bristol was interesting to say the least.  The drivers had the first Bristol race to run the new Car of Tomorrow on the new track surface, so we were certain to have a more competitive run by all the drivers this go around.  Once the green flag dropped, it was apparent [...]

Some more NASCAR info

Well, I’ve not run any races since I moved with ASCORS. Part of the reason is the fact that the move itself kept me from doing it, but also due to the fact that the races up to that point were road races – and I had to work one of those weekends due to [...]

Some more racing news

I picked up a copy of Colin McRae’s DiRT last week when I went to visit the mall where I live now in Mississippi. The game was only $15 bucks so I couldn’t resist… I’ve been looking for a more serious racing simulation that’s not F1, CART, or Indy car to offset my NASCAR racing [...]

ASCORS – Race #3 (Daytona)

Last week I was fairly excited for the race on Saturday.  Being that it was at Daytona, I knew that not only would there be even more drivers there than normal, but that for once I’d be a contender, as I always run well at that track… and I’d also found and modified a racing [...]

ASCORS – Race #2 (New Hampshire)

This last weekend was my second run for Darkhorse Motorsports in the #34 Carhartt car in the American Stock Car Online Racing Series (ASCORS).  The venue this time was at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, a 1 mile flat oval track.  The race started with a lineup of 29 drivers. After running in practice all week [...]

ASCORS – and my first start

My contract that I’d been working on in the American Stock Car Online Racing Series (ASCORS) with Darkhorse Motorsports finaly came through on Friday afternoon.  Set up as a permanent driving contract to run the #34 car sponsored by Carhardt, I’ll get roughly 14% of the winnings and continue driving for them throughout the remaining [...]

Some NASCAR info…

Well, here’s the pics of the new car I painted for Fricken Beer.  The car main paint scheme came out a lot better than I hoped it would, and with the template I am using being a 2048 x 2048 pixel size template, it allows for a great deal of detail and clarity.  It also [...]
