      Payback Is Hell

      NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Jeff Gordon, who is far more clever and humorous than fans see on television, tells some great Dale Earnhardt Sr. bump-and-run and payback stories. “Earnhardt would catch you and, for no reason, just run into you. You’d be like, ‘What did I do?’” Gordon says. Despite all the talk of [...]

      NASCAR and Bass

      In the world of professional bass fishing, Kevin VanDam may be the best. ESPN Outdoors commentator Mark Zona says of VanDam, “In my mind, he is the best of this era and will be the best I cover as long as I am a commentator.” As the all-time most money winner on the Bassmaster Tournament [...]

      Family Matters

      The induction ceremony for the NASCAR Hall of Fame this summer shed light on not only the inductees, but on our sport and the families of those inducted. Speakers said that behind every successful driver is someone who is the wind beneath his or her wings. I see it all the time in the garage [...]

      Drivers Inspire

      There is nothing so inspiring for children as hearing words of advice and encouragement from their heroes. When NASCAR drivers Carl Edwards and David Ragan recently visited the Boys and Girls Club of Concord, N.C., believing in your dreams was a central message. One can only imagine what it would be like to be a [...]

      Martha Earnhardt

      I have covered Dale Earnhardt Jr. since he was a skinny kid who beat the pants off the other drivers in a simulator near a stage I was broadcasting from. Back then,  I was in local radio and he was just Earnhardt’s kid. Dale Jr. is a really nice, down-to-earth guy up close who doesn’t [...]

      The Rich and Famous

      I get to meet a lot of celebrities in my occupation – the anthem singer, the honorary grand marshal, the television or movie star, the comedian, the WWE wrestler, the politician, his entourage and the band. I’m never fazed by the famous because in my job, famous is the norm. Race day in NASCAR is [...]

      NASCAR and Golf

      There’s a long-standing correlation between golf and NASCAR, yet any pairing between the two sports would seem, on the surface, a bit odd. NASCAR is about noise; it’s about loud cars and vocal, opinionated fans. Golf is about silence and serenity, about fans clapping quietly and players keeping mum on the course. But golf figures [...]

      Resolution 2010

      On the broadcast board in my studio is a paperweight engraved with the words “Be Calm, Be Strong, Be Grateful.” Each time I flip on the microphone switch, I read the message. Recently, I got an e-mail from Benny, who was an over-the-road truck driver. I used to ride motorcycles with the guys at the [...]

      Racing into 2010

      Many blessings to you all as you live life on the long and winding road again in 2010! You make me feel as if I am never alone as I make my way across this great country from track to track on the NASCAR circuit. Here are some behind the scenes off-season tidbits: I saw [...]

      Preaching to the (NASCAR) Choir

      Franklin Graham joined me in the Sirius NASCAR Radio studio at Lowe’s Motor Speedway (LMS) before the Coca-Cola 600 this spring. He came into the studio carrying his well-worn Bible and I thought, How can I, a mere mortal, find common ground between Graham’s Bible messages and the NASCAR fans? Sure, the core NASCAR fan [...]
