Michigan is always hot on race weekend at MIS. Sunday was no different. Hot weather and hot action on the track too.

Trevor Bayne is a hot item in the world of NASCAR right now. We, here at On Pit Row, have had our eyes on him for a while. Here are some pictures I took of him in his Nationwide ride in 2010. I wish I had more shots. So many drivers so little time…

Hello Newman.

I have been roughly shaken from my serene, off-season sleep. Whomever did the shaking is to blame for this.

Welcome to the 2011 NASCAR Blogging Season. I have to ask.

What, exactly, does Kevin Conway bring to the, eh, “table” for ExtenZe Racing?

I mean….I don’t actually want to see it or anything. But one has to wonder.

ExtenZe Racing has been a good friend of the show and Kevin seems a fine guy. He is the 2010 NASCAR Rookie of the Year and it’s not his fault that nobody challenged him for that honor.

But even before he had that ROY in his bag, he was hung with some hefty sponsor dough. Dumped by Front Row Motorsports mid season, he picked up Robby Gordon Racing for awhile. Robby was easy. But it didn’t last.

Now Kevin and ExtenZe are all over the Nemco Motorsports car for Daytona. Kevin gets to run the Bud Shootout and will have to qualify to race in the Daytona 500. I hope he does.

But eventually, ExtenZe needs to be a sponsor for the Wood Brothers. That is a match.

Winning the Brad Keselowski Sweepstakes Could Save a NASCAR Franchise

I am co-host of the syndicated radio show: ON PIT ROW. Over ten years on the air and three on the net; see what can happen when I don't let the facts get in the way of my opinions.

The 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup season is barely half over and the speculation of what 2010 brings is in high gear.

Silly Season has started in earnest.  Fox Sports’ Lee Spencer is reporting that Robert Yates Racing may be looking to blow up their lineup in 2010 because of lack of performance from Bobby Labonte and cash cow Paul Menard.

Roger Penske may be looking to shop the seat in the #12 for the second year.  David Stremme has not taken to the new car as quickly as hoped after sitting out the 2008 Cup season.  The hottest property in the 2010 free agent market is Brad Keselowski and he is being looked at to fill that seat.

The Kez has been included in talk of pretty much every open seat for next year; the anticipated fourth cars at Joe Gibbs Racing or third at Stewart-Haas, a move to cup by Junior Motorsports or Keven Harvick, Inc or even replacing Junior at Hendrick.

While no one knows for sure where he will end up yet, I may as well throw my personal hope into the mix.  After years of struggling to make assorted drivers work on a limited budget with 1970′s thought processes one team has taken a step back to try and re-capture it’s former glory days.  While some teams have resorted to start and park strategies to get their teams trough these tough times, The Wood Brothers took to a limited schedule to try and make things work.

Bill Elliott has held down the seat on again and off again until the right deal can happen.  2010 is the year that the once proud team that saw David Pearson, Cale Yarborough and others win races in droves, needs to grab the next hot, can’t miss driver since Sliced Bread.  Keselowski is young, hungry and has proven himself a winner.  Eddie Wood has made hard decisions over the past year.  Adding Keselowski for the entire season could be the piece to the puzzle that brings the Wood Brothers back to the front.

Sponsorship is the key; getting it and getting enough of it to be competitive.  The other hard decision to be made may not be so easy and that would be to give up the teams autonomy.  An alliance with Roush-Fenway/Yates as a satellite team could help solve technical and financial challenges.

One car from Roush-Fenway will be spun off to Yates because of NASCAR’s four team rule.   Common speculation has had either Jamie McMurrey or David Ragan moving to Yates as a third team.  But, instead of sending a lower performing team, send Greg Biffle to become the cornerstone of that operation.  Proven winner Travis Kvapil is available to take over the #96 ride if Ask.com can be convinced to stay on board or other sponsorship can be found.

The Wood Brothers with help from R-F/Y and Keselowski at the wheel could be a combination that returns the once proud team back to respectability and beyond.

Tiny Lund vs Herb Thomas: NASCAR’s 64 Greatest Drivers Match Up

An On Pit Radio region, first round tilt between NASCAR’s first two-time Champion and one of NASCAR’s real heroes. It’s all part of the NASCAR 64 Greatest Drivers Tournament at Bench Racing with Steve and Charlie.

Tiny Lund won only five Cup Series races in his 21 year career. But one of them was one of the great sports stories of all time. During a practice for the ‘63 Daytona 500, Lund rescued fellow driver Marvin Panch from a burning car. The injured Panch asked Lund to fill in for him in the Wood Brothers’ Ford and he went on to win that 500. Lund was a four-time Grand American champion. He was fatally injured in a accident at Talladega in 1975.

Herb Thomas was NASCAR’s first two-time Series champ. He won 48 times – 12th all-time – in 228 starts and captured 39 poles. Herb won the Southern 500 three times and was a series runner-up twice. He won both championships while driving a Hudson Hornet.

It’s up to you to choose between two of NASCAR’s 50 Greatest Drivers to see who moves on. Leave a comment.

What would you get Teresa Earnhardt for Christmas?  Our Mindy Monday says it’s not all sticks and stones for NASCAR’s 2007 Step Mother of the Year award winner. Maybe a case of  Tasmanian wine (is there such a thing?) and a case of Juicy Fruit Gum.

Find out why. Watch the Monday Morning Crew Chief. Try it. You’ll like it!
