Jeff Gordon Announces Retirement From Full-Time Cup Racing

Yesterday, Jeff Gordon announced in front of the whole Hendrick Motorsports team that he will be retiring from a full-time cup career after the 2015 Sprint Cup Season. At 43, Gordon is truly an icon of the entire sport. Almost anywhere you go, If you say NASCAR, one of the first drivers that come to mind is Jeff. I like to think of him as the Tony hawk of NASCAR. In the sense of, you don't know much about the sport, but you do know about the popular athletes. From the Rainbow Warrior, to the Axalta and Drive to End Hunger cars, Jeff has had a good run. And there is no doubt about it Jeff is going to the Hall of Fame in Charlotte. But the question is, what's next? Sure Jeff won't be racing in the cup series full time, but maybe he'll pop his head into the Xfinity or truck series. In the end, no matter what Jeff does, He is defiantly a legend and although I don't follow him, I still love him and hope only the best for him.

In Response to Keselowski's Actions

Last weekend, tempers flared at Charlotte, after Keselowski was fighting with Matt Kenseth, Denny Hamlin, and others. After the race, Keselowski hit Kenseth, who had his seat belts and other safety devices off. After, Kenseth pushed a transmission through the garage wall and did aggravated burnouts in the pits. When he was walking beck to his motor coach, Kenseth ran up and started fighting and hitting Keselowski. Keselowski was charged $50,000 and put on parole for the rest of the season, while Kenseth and Hamlin were let off the hook. So, what do I think? I think NASCAR was completely  right with charging Keslowski. You don't fight like that on or off the track, that's not sportsman-like. I guess we'll see in the race tomarrow whether or not everyone is still aggravated.

Should NASCAR Drivers be able to drive in lower classes?

In recent news, Tony Stewart is being accused of hitting and killing Kevin Ward Jr. Now I could go on for a while about this, but I want to talk about one of the big problems in this incident. That is that Stewart was driving a sprint car. If you didn't know, sprint cars are very far from professional series like sprint cup. So basically, it's like a professional baseball player playing little league. Doesn't seem normal, right? Stewart also isn't the only one to do it though. What do you think? Tweet me @Hunskey

Who Will Win The Chase for the Sprint Cup?

As the chase moves to Dover, the challenger round is almost over. And although it is early in the chase, we can learn a lot from what is happening now, and what has happened all season. For starters, Jeff Gordon has run a solid season with three wins. He was also running pretty good at Loudon, until he blew a tire. Another HUGE contender to win would be Keselowski. with 5 wins and already a spot in the contender round, he has been running more than great this season. So, who do I think will take home the cup? Honestly, I don't know, but I would say drivers with a good chance would be Keselowski, Gordon, or Logano. But we'll have to wait to see.

This...

So I made a blog... I might use this so stay tuned.
