Greg Biffle is very close to resigning with Roush Racing which is something that I have mixed feelings about. Now Greg Biffle is a very good driver and I know Roush is a very good company to drive for, but I think that it’s time for the Biff to move somewhere else. I think a great fit for him would be Richard Childress Racing who is adding another team next year.

Richard Childress racing already has a  sponsor lined up and he would get top equipment and I just think his time at Roush Racing has run it’s course. He is not on the same page as his crew at times and he just does not seem to get the best equipment like he use to. I know the team has been sliding lately. I think a new team would get him going in the right direction again.

Terry Labonte is scheduled to take over for Kyle Petty for around five to six races as Kyle has a daughters wedding and other commitments that he must take care of. This gives Petty Racing a guy who still is a very good driver and they can be entered in every race as he can use a past champions provisional if need be. This is a very good move on Petty racing to do this.

Having the Labonte brothers together will be great to see one more time. Bobby has been doing a great job for Petty so far and adding Terry even though for a short time should help Petty Racing out as well. It would be great to see Terry grabbed another win to add to his long resume.

Darlington Raceway got the name too tough to tame and it collected many cars last night and in fact Kyle Busch seems to enjoy hitting the walls at this track.  Kyle Busch hit the wall so many times he actually lost count. It did not matter to Busch as he roared back to the win even after a pit-road penatly looked like it would end his night. To Busch’s credit he fought back and won the Saturday Night Sprint Cup Series race at Darlington.

Busch who is probably the most hated driver in Nascar continues to stand on top of the points which is all that matters to him. Carl Edwards finished second while Jeff Gordon was third. Busch had the best car all night long and even hitting the wall numerous times could not keep it from victory lane. Love him or hate you have to respect him for his driving ability.

Joe Gibbs racing seems to have a handle on the Nationwide series as Tony Stewart tamed the track that is said to tough to tame as he won the race at Darlington in the Nationwide Series Friday night. Stewart was able to avoid wrecks and a huge amount of cautions to grab his first win at the superspeedway. Clint Bowyer took second place while David Reutimann was third.

It seems that in the Nationwide series this year Toyota and Joe Gibbs know something that others have not found out yet. In the process they have been very good and by winning six in a row that should tell you something right there. Tony Stewart also praised Goodyear for bringing a very good tire to the race track. Yes, you read right he actually said good things about Goodyear.

Right now Joe Gibbs Racing is one of the hottest teams in the Nationwide Series as they have won the last five races and are looking for number six. With the stable of drivers that he has looking for number six could be a very good possibility.

It seems in the Nationwide Series Joe Gibbs Racing has the perfect setup for whatever tracks they are going to. The other thing that helps out a lot is when you can throw experienced drivers in very good cars your chances really improve a lot. I would not be surprised to see Joe Gibbs Racing in victory lane once again.

Kyle Busch may have done more good for Dale Earnhardt Jr than he has realized before this is all said and done. Busch and Junior got tangled in the last few laps at Richmond sending Junior spinning and his chances of winning were gone.

After the race another side of Junior emerged that has really never been shown before. Junior is in the midst of the longest winless streak of his career and another side came out after his interview along trackside. You seen a guy who really cares about winning and doing the right things on the track. I have to admit many new fans will now be a part of Junior Nation.

Dale Earnhardt Jr is one driver that has grown up as a driver and a man since his father’s death. In the coming years his status as one of the best will grow as well. It is only a matter of time before he ends the winless streak and starts something very good.

For awhile it looked like Denny Hamlin was going to get the win, but a flat tire derailed his hopes. Than Dale Earnhardt Jr looked like he would finally break his losing streak only to see Kyle Busch and him touch and send him spinning. This was the opening Clint Bowyer needed and he took it and got the win.

Bowyer was in the right place at the right time and that is why Saturday night he walked away with the win. Sometimes you have to be luckier than good and that was Bowyer on this night. Denny Hamlin had the car to beat, but tire issues cost him this one. Of course Kyle Busch will be needing security for awhile as people are not happy with him spinning Junior out. It was just a by product of hard racing, but you will never tell fans of Junior Nation that. All in all a good race at Richmond.

Denny Hamlin used a late pit stop to prove to people new tires are better than older ones. Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, and Mike Bliss decided not o pit and that cost them as Hamlin was able to pass both with ease, but another caution almost derailed that for Hamlin. Hamlin had to hold off Kyle Busch in a two lap shootout to get the win.

Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick were dominate all night long, but it’s who is leading at the end that matters and in the end local hero Denny Hamlin was the one with the new tires. I guess this just goes to show you most of the time it is best to get new tires than try to race on old ones.

Jerry Nadeau still is dealing with his injuries from his head injury he suffered five years ago at Richmond. Nadeau had a very promising career until it was cut short. In 2000 he won the final race of the season at Atlanta and his memory of that was the late Dale Earnhardt giving him the thumb up sign. Things have changed a lot since than though.

He tries to stay busy with other racing related things, but injuries he has suffered still has not healed. Nadeau still thinks about what could have been and where he would be today in his Cup career. We will never know, but he did get to do what he always wanted and no injury can take that away from him.

Randy Moss and some investors is starting a Nascar Truck Series team that is scheduled to run a limited schedule their first year and the second year they will run the full season. This one should be very interesting. Has anyone noticed how more players from other sports are starting to own teams in Nascar.

As far as Randy Moss as a truck owner this could be a good thing for the sport. Moss should be able to bring in more fans to the sport and with ratings and attendance down at events this can only help that grow. Hopefully Moss will be able to stay awhile in the sport, but only time will tell.
