We all know "who wears the fire suit" at Bleacher Report: scantily-clad women in slide shows, and the writers who garner hundreds of thousands of hits by displaying the "assets" of one sport or another's athletes, wives, girlfriends, second-cousins' sisters' friends' roommates, etc.Oops. I almost forgot the clearly newsworthy pictures of women who totally thought about this one super-cool sport when they were, like, 12 or something, but then were photographed wearing a swimsuit made of high-grade twine at 18.Sorry, folks, but it had to be done: Kara Martin threw down the gauntlet.Martin's well-read feature blessed the female members of the Bleacher Report NASCAR community, showing off the supposed hunks of NASCAR.This challenge simply can't...

Labor Day racing festivities are rapidly approaching at Atlanta Motor Speedway, so it is time to revisit a racing event that had it all, drama, excitement, firsts and lasts. There are so many great NASCAR races, but the 1992 Hooters 500 must rank near the top. Temporary seats had been erected and even they were sold out.  It was the final race of the season under the points system that was tallied after all the races were run. Davey Allison needed a sixth place finish to claim the Winston Cup  (Sprint Cup) title.  Alan Kulwicki was in second place, 30 points behind Allison.  Georgia favorite Bill Elliott had won the spring race at Atlanta Motor Speedway and was 40 points behind the leader in third place. A crowd estimate...

It would seem modern political campaigns are more concerned about search engines than real engines, but Florida Governor Charlie Crist has taken a different tack this political season. Not only has the lifelong Republican switched to Independent last April in his bid to secure the open Florida U.S. Senate seat, but he has also taken his campaign message to the people via a variety of means. Crist chose a V-8 high horsepower FASCAR Pro-Truck racing machine from many entries at New Smyrna Speedway in New Smyrna Beach, Florida earlier this year. The bright red No. 11 Ford race truck owned by Robert Strader of B&H Truck and RV Services, Inc. and driven by his son, FSU student Bobby Strader, now carries “Charlie Crist for U.S. Sen...

While the Red Bull Racing drama plays out on the Cup level, including the juggling of drivers Brian Vickers, Scott Speed, and Kasey Kahne set for the 2011 season, a new Red Bull Racing driver, Cole Whitt, has quietly joined the fray. Whitt, Red Bull's newest up and comer, is currently racing in the K&N Pro Series East, one of NASCAR's developmental leagues. And he has indeed been making his own Red Bull mark, most recently scoring a runner up finish at Gresham Motorsports Park this past weekend and a top five finish at Lee USA Speedway in the prior East Series race. With his most recent runner up finish, Whitt has also garnered himself a place in the top five in the championship standings in the K&N Pro Series, currently s...

Each week, Jeff Gordon hits the track knowing he's risking his life for a career he enjoys. His wife Ingrid stands by his decision to take that risk and achieve victory. Gordon now has two children that watch him go fast every Sunday. However, when next Sunday comes around, his daughter Ella will be riding with him in more than just spirit. When NASCAR makes the trip to the Atlanta Motor Speedway in one week, Gordon will have Ella's influence on his car. With the help of renowned NASCAR artist Sam Bass, who designed every paint scheme Gordon has driven since 1992, Gordon will drive a car created by his 3-year-old daughter. The car will help promote awareness for the newly-renamed Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation, which focuses on pediatric...

With only six races to go in the 2010 Formula One Championship season, it’s time for the big teams to make some difficult decisions and pick a preferred driver for the remainder of the season to maximize the team’s chances of taking out the championship. Leading in to the Belgian Grand Prix, there were five drivers who were in a position—some better than others—to take out the championship with both McLaren and Red Bull drivers being joined by Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso as the outside chance. Coming out of the race, everything has changed. Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber have opened up clear breaks on their respective teammates. Both now have over a full race win advantage and surely must now be anointed as their...

It was a wild race for the drivers in the Izod IndyCar race at Chicagoland, best described as "hell" by Tony Kanaan. If it wasn't for the open-wheel cars, one would have thought they were watching a NASCAR race as the cars ran in a pack often four abreast, drafting one another and bumping tires at speeds in excess of 200 mph. Will Power led much of the race, but was forced to take two gallons of fuel near the end of the race under green flag conditions, which impacted his points lead. Dario Franchitti took the win in his No. 10 Ganassi Racing car with an atypical paint job of blue rather than his well known red racer.  Dan Wheldon finished second and Marco Andretti finished third. Franchitti described the race as being l...

To gain an advantage, you need to do whatever you can. JR Motorsports is doing that by taking two Canadian drivers to the only NASCAR Nationwide Series Canadian stop. Missausaga, Ontario, native Ron Fellows will be behind the wheel of a JR Motorsports car for the fifth time in his career. In those five starts, he has one win, three top-fives and, four top-10 finishes with seven laps led. Fellows knows his way around Montreal, as proven in 2008, when he qualified sixth and led seven laps en route to becoming the first Canadian to win on Canadian soil. "Montreal is a great event, not only for the Quebec-based fans, but for the teams too," Fellows said in the team preview. "It's such a change of pace from what we typically deal with. Most of t...

What can you say about Spa, eh? What a brilliant restart to the season we were treated to today.  For the first time in 2010, Q1 was actually worth watching, Q2 provided shocks, and although Q3 was a little flat, it has produced a tantalizing grid! 
Qualifying One Di Grassi opened the session, followed by almost all the other drivers.  Belgium’s weather has been as unpredictable as ever this weekend and although the track was dryish when the light went green, black clouds loomed over the circuit.  It didn’t take long for the wet areas of the track (practice three had been wet) to cause havoc!  Petrov’s Renault went slightly wide and hit a damp patch sending his car spinning out.  The Rena...

Ron Fellows has five starts for JR Motorsports and one resulted in a win at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in 2008, the sight of Sunday's race. Both drivers for JR Motorsports hail from Canada as they prepare for the NAPA Auto Parts 200 in Montreal, Canada.  Fellows is from Windsor, Ontario and Fitzpatrick's hometown is Cambridge, Ontario. Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a 2.71 mile circuit with 13 turns on a man-made island in the center of the St. Lawrence River which is considered part of Montreal. Fellows will be driving the Canadian Tire No. 88 and Fitzpatrick will be driving the Schick Hydro No. 7 Chevy under the guidance of Tony Eury Jr. Fitzpatrick will run the Canadian Tire Series race just prior to the NASCAR Nationwide race on Sunda...
