Yeah. Driving 500 miles at speeds averaging close to 200 mph is nothing, right?

Or driving into a corner going 185 mph, three cars wide. Just a Sunday drive in the country. Takes no talent at all.

It is a professional culture and they have improved over the years. But at times it is difficult to advertise on the hood.

Google "Saudi Arabia drifting accidents" if you are into that.

I'm not. If anything it is a reminder to wear you seat belts.

Amazing high speed pic of the crash...

Needing to work up a batch of jerky this week, going to buy another dehydrator tomorrow.

Jimmie Johnson wins the Daytona 500. Dale Earnhardt Jr. finishes 2nd .... Danica Patrick ran strong all race, but finishes in 8th place.

I thought that the CCola commercial was funny when the drivers were in the car being driven by Tony S. Giving directions to go another lap and another lap then turn left.....


The Phoenix race is going to have a new profile for the cars and should be faster.

She might have finished 3rd, if not for that wreck on the last lap.

Congrats to her.

That settles it. It can't be a legit sport if a woman can compete against men and succeed.
