This post has nothing to do with Ohio State, or directly so. Now comes the lonely time for College Football fans, the ones like me who couldn`t care a rats ass about any other sport ...

Only 9 drivers have finished in the Top 12 in each of the past three seasons. Odds are at least one won`t do it again this year but who do&nb...

In just about two weeks, NASCAR`s Sprint Cup Series drivers will be arriving in Daytona. Not for testing, though. Preseason testing at Daytona, where the 2009 season officially begins next month, is a thing of the past. For now, anyway. But you know that.

Ever since the beginning of time, man was born with a strong desire for competition and the need for speed in his blood. This desire can be traced ...

I wrote a recent column regarding nonfans wearing race team jackets. From my own nonscientific sampling and experience, I have noticed that M&M jackets seem to be pretty popular with nonrace fans. And why wouldn`t it? The M&M sponsorship is youthful and fun, and who doesn`t love chocolate anyway?
