"I believe anybody who tells you he is unbiased is a liar. Being human gives you bias, and you can't avoid that. The best you can ever hope to be is fair."

By PR | 10/01/2009 | | | Since its inception, NASCAR has been a sport of statistics. From lap times to RPMs, the numbers behind the speed have captivated millions and provided a quantifiable measuring stick for evaluating racing greatness.

05/23/2009 | | |  Concord, N.C., May 22, 2009 – Ladies and gentlemen, start your grills! Coca-Cola ignited the summer BBQ season Memorial Day weekend by firing up the nation’s longest grill at the site of NASCAR’s longest race, the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
Requiring more than 7,000 pounds of Kingsford® Charcoal, the monster-sized ring of fire measured an astonishing 1,320 feet and would span more than four football fields in length if stretched end to end. The colossal grill was used to cook up a feast for fans attending the “Coca-Cola Quarter-Mile Cookout” on Friday, May 22. | Comments: 4 | Last Activity: 05/24/09 | | |

"In over 15 years of racing in the Sprint Cup Series, I can't remember a time when the sport's landscape looks as it does today. Saying that, Petty Enterprises and I had serious and very sincere discussions about what was best for myself and everyone involved at Petty Enterprises moving forward. These discussions culminated with us agreeing that moving in a separate direction will be the greatest way to reach our end goals. It was by no means an easy decision. I am, and will always be, very appreciative of what Richard Petty and the Petty family, every employee of Petty Enterprises and members of Boston Ventures did to invest in bettering my career the past three seasons."

By Carol Einarsson | 07/31/2008 | | | | Ryan Newman gets down and dirty on this week's Alltel Racing Podcast, talking about where it all began for him as a driver- dirt track racing. As the 2008 Daytona 500 Champion returned to his home state of Indiana this weekend for the Brickyard, he discussed the impact that dirt track racing has had on his career. "As a driver, when you it make it to the top level, you have had dirt track experience," said Newman who plans to race a late model dirt car in Charlotte this fall. Newman says, Newman tells listeners that if he were in charge of NASCAR he would add Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio to the Cup Series because it's more enjoyable for both the drivers and the fans.
