Whining? Are you whining Jimmie? Stop whining. There’s no whining in NASCAR!

Right.

Mindy is a bit disappointed that NASCAR hadn’t even run a race before it’s biggest star spilled the “whine” over an on track incident that happened last November. And then there’s Danica. There’s always Danica.

Watch the latest Monday Morning Crew Chief with Mindy Monday. There will be questions at the conclusion.

He Blocked Left then He Blocked Right then He Got Smoked

Last week, Steve got the crow sandwich. This week, Charlie gets the rocking chair. Actually, Mindy Monday offers up Charlies chair to the shy (right) and retiring (true) Mikey Waltrip.

Mindy compares the Jeremy Mayfield saga to a Burt Levee novel and Phil Parson’s no. 66 ride to the previously mentioned rocker.

There’s more. There always is. Including Tony Stewart’s “ole’- el passo” of Kyle Busch. Watch the latest Monday Morning Crew Chief.

Mindy Monday kind of wraps up the Darlington Southern 500 experience as only she can. Be strong baby boomers. And it’s getting ugly in Junior-ville. It’s the latest Monday Morning Crew Chief from Bench Racing TV.

Waitin’ for the Big Show at Talladega Superspeedway

I’m an ARCA RE/MAX Series fan. Have probably always been one, but 2008 made it a permanent affliction when Steve and I were able to be part of some of the race broadcasts and host the INSIDE ARCA radio show.

But that ARCA RE/MAX 250 at Talladega Superspeedway yesterday wasn’t a very good show. I’m happy for race winner Justin Lofton, who has been a frequent ON PIT ROW guest. But that’s two straight races on the biggest tracks in the series, that have been pretty goofy. Needs to get better guys.

Sunday will undoubtedly be a different story as the Sprint Cup Series spends a few hours running three and four wide and keeps most fans on the edge of their seats.

Speaking of Sundays – last Sunday will be known by me as One Bad Sunday from now on. I checked my email in the morning and was greeted by the announcement that the best NASCAR fantasy racing site on the net was closing up shop. One Bad Wheel was one of the websites for which I had genuine “site envy”. On Pit Row helped to sponsor the Champs, Chumps and Sleepers game at OBW last year and it’s founder Darren is a friend and has helped me alot over the past three years.

OnPitRow.com is going to continue a few of the popular features from OBW. One of the most popular – the NASCAR Fantasy Experts Picks – will be a weekly feature here. Stay tuned for more announcements.

Our own Mindy Monday has a brand new Monday Morning Crew Chief video up. Mindy apparently isn’t impressed with NASCAR probation, but old geezer racers may be a different story. Watch Mindy’s latest video here.

Bobby Labonte May Sense a Twilight Zone at Texas Motor Speedway

Face it. It would be kind of strange seeing your own face in the rear-view mirror at 190 mph. You might just think you’d stayed a little long at the famous Thunder Lounge in the Texas Motor Speedway infield.

Our Mindy Monday would never do that. Hey – who’s that laughing?

The latest Monday Morning Crew Chief has the surreal details, some early warning scapegoat alerts and last thoughts on the first Bristol race of the year.

Click here to watch Monday Morning Crew Chief #36.

David Reutimann Nails it: On Pole for the Samsung 500

I watched David Reutimann today as driver after driver tried to take away his top qualifying spot for Sunday’s Samsung 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. I think I was more nervous than Reut.

He sat calmly chatting with several people along the pit wall as the best of the best went after his time. Maybe he just knew that he’d run the perfect lap today.

According to Darrell Waltrip – talking on the Speed TV broadcast of qualifying – Reutimann calls himself “The Franchise” when trash-talking with his boss, Michael Waltrip. I don’t think that’s too much of a stretch.

Watch video of David here as he talks about his pole and what it means to his Michael Waltrip Racing team.
