NASCAR 2018- it should be interesting.

With the Daytona 500 on February 18th, things are starting to heat up.

It looks like Danica Patrick has her old sponsor (Go Daddy) back for the 500 and a run at Indy Just needs a car....and some luck.

Ready for motorsports in general to get back on track...pun intended

Will be an intersting year with Junior,Kenseth, and a few others missing from grid. Takes a few races to figure out new drivers,numbers, and sponsors and who to cuss.

Heard Danica and Ricky called it quits on the relationship and a punch line she said they were just going in circles

Sounds like Danica’s new sponsor is a Packer.

Watching the ongoing Dakar has stirred our interest in the forthcoming F1, World Super Bike, MotoGP and MotoAmerica series. Also have high hopes that NBCSN will again broadcast the American Flat Track series; it was great to see last year.
