Hamlin Got a Clock!

“You got a clock, baby, you got a clock!” shouted Denny Hamlin’s crew chief as he crossed the finish line. Are you kidding me? Screw the clock, Hamlin got a win in the Goody’s Cool Orange 500 and broke both this season’s dry spell and bad luck. For those of you who don’t know, every [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry( { title: "Hamlin Got a Clock!", url: "http://www.ronripple.com/2008/03/hamlin-got-a-clock/" } );

Martinsville Picks…

Who’s your pick to win the Martinsville race? I don’t know about you, but it feels like years since the last race even though it’s only been two weeks. I’m ready for a short course race and Martinsville couldn’t have come at a better time. Martinsville is home of the 1/2 mile oval track, 60 [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry( { title: "Martinsville Picks…", url: "http://www.ronripple.com/2008/03/martinsville-picks/" } );

1979 Daytona 500 Fist Fight Drama

It was 1979 and a beautiful afternoon for a race in Daytona, FL. Thousands of spectators showed up for one of the most spectacular events of the year. This was the first race where CBS broadcast a race from start to finish and the drivers, crew, and fans were pumped full of adrenaline.

Teams not in Top 35!!!

If you’ve read some of my posts in the past, you obviously know I’m not a big fan of the Top 35.  In my opinion teams come out to each and every race busting their asses trying to make it to Sunday’s race day.  Well it’s about that time to find out who’s NOT in [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry( { title: "Teams not in Top 35!!!", url: "http://www.ronripple.com/2008/03/teams-not-in-top-35/" } );

Tribute to Dale Jarrett

Dale Jarrett didn’t end his career with a bang… but he sure did have one of the best racing career’s a driver could ask for.  Dale Jarrett is probably one of the most well known NASCAR drivers in the history of NASCAR.  He had over 657 starts with 32 wins, 163 top fives, and 260 [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry( { title: "Tribute to Dale Jarrett", url: "http://www.ronripple.com/2008/03/tribute-to-dale-jarrett/" } );

Hendrick Motorsports continues to Struggle!

The past two years have been dominated by the Hendrick Motorsports team with everyone’s goal to knock them off their high horse.  Well so far this year it’s quite obvious this is the year of the fall of Hendrick Motorsports.  Already with five races complete, Hendrick Motorsports has failed to win a race.  If you were [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry( { title: "Hendrick Motorsports continues to Struggle!", url: "http://www.ronripple.com/2008/03/hendrick-motorsports-continues-to-struggle/" } );

Burton Sneaks a Win!

Talk about a helluva race! A caution goes green with 6 laps remaining… Two laps to go the battle for second was between Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart. Stewart and Harvick drive into a turn when Harvick’s car gets a little loose and drives Stewart right into the wall. I was extremely suprised Tony showed [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry( { title: "Burton Sneaks a Win!", url: "http://www.ronripple.com/2008/03/burton-sneaks-a-win/" } );

Tony Stewart’s Opinion

Well the new drama and buzz going around NASCAR is how opinionated Mr. Stewart is.  One of the main reasons why I enjoy watching Tony Stewart race is because you can always tell what’s on his mind.  He says what everyone is thinking and just blatantly tells it how it is.  Well I’ve attached a [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry( { title: "Tony Stewart’s Opinion", url: "http://www.ronripple.com/2008/03/tony-stewart-loves-goodyear-notttt/" } );

NASCAR’s driver of the season!

KYLE BUSCH.  All I have to say is holy shitzu… this kid is good.  I have a feeling that while I was playing with G.I. Joe’s at the age of 3, Kyle Busch was driving the lawn mower learning how to put the pedal to the metal.  This kid was dominating yesterday’s race at the [...] SHARETHIS.addEntry( { title: "NASCAR’s driver of the season!", url: "http://www.ronripple.com/2008/03/nascars-driver-of-the-season/" } );
