Off Season Might Not Be Long Enough For NASCAR
By Auto Racing Daily Editor on Nov 02, 2008

NASCAR’s leadership has always been respected for making good business decisions and all their moves seemed to always be the right ones – who could argue with near constant growth of sponsors, venues, TV numbers, and fans.  But the 2009 NASCAR season might just test the true business acumen of those at the helm of the NASCAR ship because, for the first time in many years, the stars are not aligned in NASCAR’s favor. The sport had already, though recently, stopped growing and, in the coming months, there is a good chance that multiple pieces of the US financial system that directly affect NASCAR’s bottom line are all going to unwind at the same time. The “everything we touch turns to gold” days are over and with such limited choices the best way forward might just be the only way forward.

Jimmie Johnson Joins Spurs, Sampras, Devils In Unknowingly Screwing His Sport
By Josh Stewart on Oct 04, 2008

Junior Feeling At Home With Gordon, Hendrick
By Josh Stewart on Sep 16, 2008

Jeff Gordon had not yet supplanted Dale Earnhardt Sr. as NASCAR’s most dominant driver—but according to Dale Earnhardt Jr., his dad must have already known something. “I was running late models up at North Wilkesboro and he introduced me to Jeff, in 1994,” Junior remembered while he and other Chase participants met with the media in New York Wednesday. “And if my dad introduced me to somebody—he only did that probably 10 times in my life…he was a busy guy, thinking about his race cars, and what he was doing with his life—and for him to take a minute to introduce me to someone, it must have been really important.”

Jeff Gordon NASCAR’s Change Candidate
By Josh Stewart on Sep 10, 2008

Gordon knows one race can change everything.

“We need to get out from underneath that cloud and get more positive things surrounding us,” Gordon said. “And the only way we’re going to do that is to perform. Even if we come out of New Hampshire, just like Clint [Bowyer] last year, that was the whole story. ‘Oh, my gosh where did this guy come from?’ And that’s all anybody wanted to talk about. Things can turn around that fast. We recognize that. And the way our season had gone, that has to be our focus.”

Gene Haas “In Good Standing” With NASCAR
By Josh Stewart on Aug 05, 2008

Often lost in the circumstances involving the formation of Stewart-Haas Racing is the fact that one of those two namesakes currently resides in federal prison. But unlike Michael Vick--who may face further discipline from the National Football League following his release--Gene Haas will be welcomed back into NASCAR with open arms. Haas reported to prison in January to serve a two-year term after pleading guilty to one count of tax fraud. That followed a plea bargain resulting in the dismissal of several charges, which included reporting false race team expenses.
