Everyone in NASCAR should be on notice after Jimmie Johnson’s win at Darlington. He is up to 5th in points and going to a track that he dominates. The Coca-Cola 600 is always a special race and tests the endurance of the drivers. Saying it’s not a sprint, but a marathon is an old and [...]
Twenty years ago NASCAR ‘s schedule had only 29 races on 16 different tracks. Now, in 2012, there are 36 races on 23 different tracks. Gone are the days that NASCAR races on almost every track twice. Not that this is a bad thing, it’s just a part of the growth NASCAR went through in [...]
In the coming days and weeks, Chad’s Fantasy NASCAR will be changing its name to Chad’s Fantasy Racing. How will this impact you? You should start using chadsfantasyracing.com to get to the site. If you use the old address you will still be able to get to the site for the rest of the season, [...]
After six races in the season and with Easter Sunday coming up, NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series will have its first Sunday off of the season. When they get back to it, they’ll be racing at the Texas Motor Speedway Saturday night. This seems to be a good time to take a look at the NASCAR [...]
It’s been a while since the look and feel of Chad’s Fantasy NASCAR blog site has been updated. We figured it was time to roll out a more current and feature rich version of the blog. All of the same stuff should still available as before, but hopefully in a format and layout that you [...]
It’s time once again to try and predict some of the outcomes of the NASCAR season. Each year I do this, and sometime I actually get close on a few of the categories. It can be tough to make predictions two weeks before the season even starts, but overall everyone has a decent feel for [...]

Raise your hand if you are like me and find it unbelievable that Jeff Gordon is all they way down to 23rd in points after wrecking in Talladega. That has to be one of the biggest shockers of the season. Had someone told me that after Daytona there is no way I would have believed [...]
It looks like I was wrong about recommending Biffle and Truex Jr. last week. Their history of not performing well in Richmond continued and they both had disappointing finishes. Biffle is still holding onto the points lead by a narrow 5 points over Dale Earnhardt Jr., but Truex Jr. fell three spots to 5th place. [...]
Richmond International Raceway hosts the 2nd Saturday night race of the NASCAR season. The ¾ mile tri-oval can provide some excitement, and with the qualifying speeds close to 130 MPH it doesn’t take the cars long to get around the track. Historically Greg Biffle and Martin Truex Jr. have not done all that well in [...]

The Kansas Speedway is up next for NASCAR. The Sprint Cup used to only race here once a year, but last year they moved to two races a year in Kansas. In the 12 previous races at the track the chasers from 2011 have won 8 of them. Greg Biffle, Mark Martin, and Joe Nemechek [...]
It’s been two weeks, but I still wonder why David Reutimann did’t just go into the pits when he knew his car had issues. He’s 32nd in points, and I’m not buying the story about staying in the top 35. Yes, I know that’s important, but he is 25 points ahead of 36th place David [...]
It seems like there are three drivers that absolutely dominate Martinsville; Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon and Denny Hamlin. Combined these guys have 17 wins, 48 top five and 60 top ten finishes in 71 career races. Is that insane or what? It shouldn’t be difficult to figure out who the recommended chasers will be this [...]
Hello, Fantasy NASCAR fans. First off, I must apologize for messing up last week and initially recommending Mark Martin when he was not scheduled to race at Bristol. I definitely deserved to be called out on that, which some of you did. So, I am sorry for doing that and promise I will check his [...]
They pack 160,000 fans around the Bristol Motor Speedway twice a year to watch the stars of NASCAR. That’s because fans can usually count on a good race with lots of action here. Just because it’s a short track doesn’t mean the cars have to go slow. With the 36° banking in the curves, they [...]
Viva Las Vegas! This has to be one of the most brutal starts of a season for the teams’ car haulers. After a long Daytona 500 they had to get the cars ready quickly, drive across the country to Phoenix, only to have to drive back to Charlotte and pick up a different set of [...]
It took a long time, but they eventually got the Daytona 500 completed. When they were racing it was definitely exciting. Even the caution laps were more exciting than they need to be. This week in Phoenix the racing should be a little tamer and no jet fuel blowing up. Phoenix International Raceway is a [...]
