From Steak To Spinach To Chipotle

... I haven’t even done is vegan. That’s the only thing left to try and I have no desire to try it right now because with the amount of exercise that I do I’m not sure I could sustain on vegetables and fruit.”. Blaney loves a Chipotle run for sustainable fuel on occasion. And it’s been hard for him to turn down cheese curds. At 23, Blaney has that super-young metabolism that can burn anything off, including the occasional craving for somewhat-healthy fast food. “Chipotle is huge,” said Blaney, running for Wood Brothers Racing in a Ford this season. “I’m a big chorizo guy now. Chorizo and chicken, bowls with brown rice, black beans, cheese and guacamole. I might actually go today because it sounds good.”. At 37, Bowyer no longer has metabolism as a friend or ally. But he hasn’t over-compensated by becoming a foodie or banging weights in the gym all day. He has no secrets, unlike Carl Edwards , the former Cup star who valued the ...

Nascar Spinning Out Of Control, Wall Street Journal Article Says

... grass in front of the grandstands of Daytona International Speedway before the Daytona 500. NASCAR is dramatically changing its format this season, cutting every race into stages that reward points in hopes of making every lap matter. Phelan M. Ebenhack ASSOCIATED PRESS. NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. listens to a question during the Daytona 500 Media Day on Wednesday at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. Jeff Siner __link__. 1 of 3. Order Reprint of this Story. On its front page Wednesday, the nation’s largest newspaper by circulation said NASCAR’s problems “seem to have spun out of control.”. “Long a Cultural Icon, NASCAR Hits the Skids,” reads the headline on the article in The Wall Street Journal. One of the article’s two writers, Tripp Mickle, graduated from Myers Park High in Charlotte. The article says NASCAR’s largely working class and white fan base is aging and was knocked harder by the recession than more-affluent fan bases of other major national sports. “There’s no magic pill for this one,” former NASCAR race team owner Ed Rensi told the Journal. “It’s about economics and demographics.”.

Nascar Drivers Processing Dirt Track Incident

... there. "It makes you think about it. I don't know why that thing left the park. It's scary.". Kasey Kahne , who owns cars that raced at Volusia in the last week, said the flips were big flips but wasn't surprised considering the speeds and the fencing. "I've actually sat in those grandstands for like qualifying and stuff, but for a main event. I would never stand right there," Kahne said. Allgaier said the track ownership World Racing Group have been at the hospital and Blaney has been in contact with the families. The only thing Allgaier said he noticed about the track over the last week was that the conditions made the lanes closer to the wall the fastest lanes on the track. "There was probably 100-plus people standing in that condensed area," Allgaier said "For it to hit [only] three people, that's just absolutely crazy. I don't know that we could have done anything differently ...

Tv Networks Continuing To Press Nascar Into Major Changes To Reverse Ratings Slide

... it is indeed a killer on the ratings. The NASCAR Chase/Playoff that takes place during the fall should be the climax of the season when more people are tuned in, but that’s not the case. NASCAR averaged 4.6 million viewers last season and yet only the final 2 races in the Chase at Phoenix and Homestead managed to crack 4 million viewers. Were NASCAR to run their playoff races in primetime on a Tuesday or Wednesday night they could own one night of the week during the fall. (If this discussion sounds familiar it’s the same idea that’s been bouncing around MLS for quite some time in getting away from competing with the NFL) Not only could that help push more viewers to NASCAR, it could also help improve the primetime ratings of their cable partners as well. Naturally, there is a downside to the idea of more midweek races, namely attendance. As ...

Daytona 500 A Family Affair For Pit Road Reporter Jamie Little

... that somebody else was making the sandwiches at the Jimmy John’s shop in Summerlin, one of two the couple own. Carter got to meet Richard Petty and Jeff Gordon and seemed intrigued by the King’s mustache. (Who isn’t?) Little Sierra, only 4 months old, earned rookie stripes at Disneyworld. But by Wednesday, Jamie Little already was in a race-day groove. She said she was getting excited, as she always does for the big ones like the 500 s at Daytona and Indianapolis. “You can feel it. It’s definitely in the air,” she said. She rattled off storylines for Sunday’s Great American Race: the start of Jimmie Johnson’s pursuit of a record eighth Cup Series championship; Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s return from post-concussion syndrome; Clint Bowyer’s debut as Tony Stewart’s replacement; the snug outfits of the Monster Energy girls; this complicated new points system and these confusing new race segments — three races ...

Nascar Fans Suddenly Upset By Monster Energy Girls’ Revealing Outfits

... covered head to toe in racing gear. . @NASCAR @NASCARONFOX #The Clash NOT a fan of the Monster Girls style! Bring back 'Miss Sprint Cup' #firesuit. — Yvette Dunn Key (@Lacclair 66) February 19, 2017. Some users made the point that this is actually a lot of clothing compared to the outfits models have worn in previous races, which included bikinis. For the special few who were disturbed by the Victory Lane attire of the Monster Energy girls today, I offer a history lesson. #Nothing New __link__/jxh Ky 4 h YOI. — Travis D. Waller (@Tre Cool Racing) February 23, 2017. Another pointed out that, compared to the cheerleaders in most sports, this is a lot of coverage. Apparently none of these people watch any other sports. The Monster Energy Girls are wearing way more than most cheerleaders. — Jamie Johnson (@johnsongrass 24) February 21, 2017. “Look at the old races when the girls wore bathing suits,” Mitch Covington, Monster’s vice president of sports marketing, told ESPN. ...

Draftkings Rankings

... Larson was probably the worst plate racer ever. That was then, this is now. In 2016, Larson scored three top 10 s at plate tracks. Did he figure it out? No. He learned to stop worrying and love the restrictor plate. (4.4 fppk). 12. Matt Kenseth ($8,700). A great philosopher once said, "Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely," or maybe that was a Danish pop band. The point is that in a plate race, Kenseth has NASCAR's premier team, the JGR Toyotas, blocking for him and pushing him. (4.3 fppk). 13. Kurt Busch ($8,800). In 63 restrictor-plate races, Kurt has has zero wins. That's the longest drought among active drivers. Wins are overrated in Draft Kings Fantasy NASCAR. Kurt's top-10 percentage at plate tracks is tied for the best (53 percent). (4.0 fppk). 14. Ryan Newman ($7,500). Daytona is atypical racing. It's hard to predict, and ...
