The resurgence of Richard Childress Racing
One of the teams that has been struggling these past few years in Nascar is Richard Childress Racing. A team that has housed the likes of Ricky Rudd, Dale Earnhardt, Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton in the past has struggled since losing Harvick to Stewart Hass before the 2014 season. Since then the team has recorded only three wins, 37 top fives, 104 top 10s and outside of Ryan Newman’s runner up finish for the championship in 2014 (which was the year Harvick won his championship) their best points finish was 11th twice.

I Will Not Abandon Kyle Larson
I am so disgusted and disappointed at the moment about the situation around Kyle Larson. For those unaware, NASCAR driver Kyle Larson was iRacing on a live stream on his computer and said the N word. And fall out has been swift and, if you ask me, ridiculous.

Where Is NASCAR Going Wrong?
It would appear that NASCAR has a problem. Last weekend was the annual spring race at Bristol Motor Speedway, in Tennessee. Like many others, I was at home watching the race, but I was dismayed to see so many empty grandstand seats at a track that used to sell out for every race. And we aren't talking just a few seats. At both ends of the track, the grandstands were closed off. There was no one sitting in those areas. Even along the straight stretches, there were a lot of noticeable gaps. No one seems to know exactly how many people were there, as Forbes reports.

Has the Halo Worked Since It Was Implemented?. Top Story - September 2018.
The big news for the start of the 2018 season was the implementation of the halo. The halo device is made out of titanium material which has been tested by the FIA to ensure it can handle the heaviest of loads. The halo is fitted to the cars by the teams as the FIA ensure they are tested for the teams to use. With that being said, the halo is able to have some carbon fibre attached to the top of the device.

Racer's Dream
Five years ago, at age 14, a racer's dream came into action. She was raised by a family of adrenaline junkies; from dirt track racing to asphalt, drag racing, snowmobiles, you name it. She arrived at the Fastest 1/4 Mile Oval Track in Wisconsin in 2013, never driven a car before let alone raced one. This girl was always hard on herself and always cared about what people thought of her.

Revving Up For Formula 1 2018: 6 Key Questions Ahead of the Season
As F1 enters it's second season under the new regulations and leadership, there can really only be one goal: improvement. Now, don't get me wrong, 2017 was a nice introduction to a new era. It's just that, well, for the changes to really justify themselves, everything should be just that tiny bit better in 2018. Cars were fast in 2017 now they should be even quicker (which they are). Things, got a whole lot more interactive and social media savy in 2017, now it should get even better in that department, etc.

Dangers of Street Racing
Aside from the most obvious catastrophe of losing one's life, the dangers of street racing have amassed greatly since the introduction of inexpensive vehicles with extraordinary horse power and speedometers easily reaching past 150. Cars moving so fast you can't even see them—nor control them—just isn't what they were built for, and the dangers of street racing proves this fact. Unlike popular belief, this is not how any of the top NASCAR drivers initiated their careers, in all likelihood street racing will only end your career, or at least your driving one when your license gets revoked.

Most Unbreakable Records in Racing
What makes a record unbreakable? Is it the fact that it's so hard to do so, or is it a change in the regulations that makes it literally unable to be beaten? With racing, it's often a mixture of the two, with a dash of brilliant luck added in for good measure.
