The Darlington Raceway in upstate South Carolina is considered one of NASCAR’s most challenging tracks. It’s shaped like an egg and has earned the moniker ‘the track too tough to tame’. That applied to everyone except David Pearson, who won 10 races and took 12 poles at Darlington. These records will likely never be challenged, let alone broken. Pearson’s ability to get around the track was almost instinctive. In fact, he made it look easy.

David Pearson was born three days before Christmas’34 in a tough textile town near the North Carolina/South Carolina border called Whitney. His parents both worked in the local mill and did their best to provide. David quit school after the 10th grade and also worked in the mill. He was soon drawn away by his love of fast cars. He bought his own car and began racing at short tracks in the area. He ran his first race in’52 in Woodruff, South Carolina and won his first championship at the old Greenville/Pickens Speedway in’59.  Read more...

An increasingly popular sport throughout the United States and Canada is Mudding. Known also as mud racing and mud bogging, mudding is an off-road sport where vehicles are driven through mud pits. The winner is determined by who can go the furthest in the pit. The increase in popularity of this sport is apparent by the number of mudding videos being made and sold.

The racing vehicles compete in some of the most extreme courses and conditions. These vehicles are almost always four wheel drive to no surprise. If more than one person finishes the entire course, then the winner will be determined by the time it takes to finish.

Dragster style vehicles are often used with the rail style and are generally either class V or class VI mud racers. The difference between class V & class VI vehicles is simply the tires. The class V tires are modified street legal tires. Notches and grooves are cut out of the tire to make for better traction. The VI tires are like those of sand runners. They have special designed paddles on them which helps them move through the wet terrain.  Read more...

Denny Hamlin ended a sophomore slump of sorts when he won the rain delayed Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway. The win was Hamlins first of the season and broke a 50 race winless streak. His last victory had come in 2008 at Martinsville Raceway.

After the race, an emotional Hamlin dedicated the victory to his grandmother who passed away late last week at the age of 91:

She understands the competition of the sport and she understands how much she means to me. Like today, she’s pretty proud. We definitely had some angels with us today.”

The unique triangle shaped track at Pocono has bedeviled many drivers, but Hamlin has always done well on it. He swept both races here as a rookie in 2006 and after the race his boss J.D. Gibbs made note of that fact:

I told him earlier, we’re going to lobby for a few extra races at Pocono”

Hamlin moved up to fifth in the NASCAR championship points standings after the victory. Tony Stewart increased his lead over Jimmie Johnson to 197 points with a top ten finish.  Read more...

In order to obtain the best coverage at the most competitive prices, it is always imperative to compare auto insurance quotes. The quotes that a consumer receives are based on a number of determining factors. Some of those factors can include coverage amounts, deductibles, gender of the driver and the type of car that a person owns.

People who take the time to get quotes are going to see that there are many differences between policies. The premium is how much that will be covered in the event of an accident. Each claim type is going to have its own limits. It is important to know the amounts of coverage for each type of claim before deciding on the insurance that will be best for the needs of the customer.

One major consideration when a customer plans to compare auto insurance quotes is how much they are going to pay for the insurance policy and how much the deductible is going to be. In many cases there is going to be a down payment and then monthly payments or one large payment that covers the insurance for the year. The more that is paid for this is going to make the deductible much less in the event that a vehicle needs to be repaired.  Read more...
