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.
