A NASCAR Doubleheader at Pocono (6/27/2020)

Talladega. Must I say more? Mother Nature's lack of southern hospitality pushed Sunday's race into Monday. After waiting out another obligatory weather delay, we were rewarded by an evening of heart-pounding action. Ryan Blaney scored back-to-back wins at Talladega - both by a minuscule 0.007-second differential. Blaney, obviously affected by…

2020 GEICO 500 at Talladega (6/21/2020)

Good things come to those who wait. Mother Nature tested our patience with several hours of delays before delivering uninterrupted racing at Homestead-Miami. There's no mid-week Cup race in the meantime, so all eyes are on the 2020 GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Buckle up because this race is going…

NASCAR’s Battle at Bristol (5/31/2020)

The whirlwind that is the 2020 NASCAR schedule takes us next to Blue Ridge Mountains for a Battle at Bristol. Charlotte treated us to a spectacular Memorial Day weekend Coca-Cola 600 and a rain-delayed 311-mile sprint on Thursday. Brad Keselowski won his first 600 and Chase Elliott pulled away with…

Running it Back at Charlotte (5/27/2020)

NASCAR's return has been nothing short of electric. Darlington's first race was action-packed and the mid-week encore was as tense as it gets, with rain was looming. Then Kyle Busch clipped Chase Elliott and sent him spinning into the wall. Sunday's thrilling Coca-Cola 600 was a fitting Memorial Day weekend…

NASCAR’s Darlington Encore (5/20/2020)

Sunday's action at The Lady in Black was fast, furious, and long-awaited. Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. started off as only he could by hitting the wall then shedding flames on his way to the garage - all before completing a single lap. Later, Jimmie Johnson ruined his own day with an…

2020 FanShield 500 at Phoenix

I'll start by saying how competitive and entertaining the young 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season has been. Daytona - what can you say about that? Vegas - late caution forces a 2-lap sprint. Fontana - a huge, bumpy track made for flat-out racing. Three races into the season and the…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/29/2020

It's Leap Day and we've got some MACtion locked and loaded! Wednesday's Denver +7.5 play gave me one hell of a sweat with IPFW getting the 58-51 win. Saved by the hook...and a lucky steal by the Pioneers to keep the Mastodons from covering in the final seconds. It's all…

2020 Auto Club 400 at Fontana

We move southwest from last week's high stakes action in Las Vegas to California for Sunday's Auto Club 400 at Fontana. We were treated to some spectacular racing in Vegas; three-wide, four-wide, and even five-wide action was not uncommon. There was just something about the competitiveness of last week's race…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/26/2020

We've been ugly in the Road Dog Report lately, though the results fortunately haven't. LaSalle and their 3-10 Atlantic 10 record did not keep them from getting a road win on Saturday. Then we backed a Toledo team last night who had dropped six of eight before their 93-81 win.…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/25/2020

Saturday's Road Dog Report landed on that perfect confluence of being picky and fortunate. Rhode Island needed to overtime to sneak inside the hook after two stressful out-of-bounds reviews. LaSalle choked away a 14-point halftime lead only to regain it in the waning minutes. I'll take it though, especially after…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/22/2020

A Saturday in February means one thing is for sure: a huge college basketball slate is staring us down. XFL Week 3 rolls on today as well as qualifying for the NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas, so our eyes will be on those events as well. We settled…

2020 Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas

Sunday's Daytona 500 was a prime example of superspeedway racing, also known as a 200-MPH crap shoot. Races at Daytona and Talladega are exciting as hell, especially in the later laps when guys are antsy and cars are nose-to-tail at extremely high speeds. The Cup Series circuit travels from the…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/18/2020

It's been a minute since the last Road Dog Report, and Tuesday MACtion is a great reason to get back on the ball! I find myself getting pickier with college hoops plays as the season progresses, which is fine considering it is time to ramp into the MLB season. There's…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/13/2020

Southern Illinois had two powerful things going for them: a strong defense and a seven-game winning streak. Their defense came to play last night, but the Salukis' shooting was horrendous. They relied on the perimeter shot that was not falling (5-28) and shot only 23% from the field. Despite the…

NCAAB Road Dog Report – 2/12/2020

After a few days without any college hoops action, the Road Dog Report is back! Saturday's pair of featured handicaps (Florida International and Northern Arizona) split as each squad attempted a second-half comeback. One was successful, the other was not. I was built to grind and so we push forward…
