Who is Brian Vickers' girlfriend? Vickers answered that question in a very public way on July 11 at Chicagoland Speedway when he invited SPEED TV motocross reporter Erin Bates to stand with him on the grid prior to the start of the Lifelock.com 400. The two have been photographed together at various events and, not to get all grandma on you, they make a cute couple. He is 25. She is 31. Usually a six-year age differential swings the other way for pro athletes, so props to Vickers for going against the grain.

Well, the CarFax 400 in Michigan was certainly a dramatic race, though watching cars try not to run out of gas may not be the kind of drama that can sustain NASCAR. But anyway, congrats to Brian Vickers for hanging on and taking the checkers on a day when everybody was just watching the ol' gas gauge:Shame for Junior Nation that Dale Earnhardt Jr. couldn't run down Vickers...

So did you miss Saturday's Nationwide race? Shame on you!

What a wild weekend. It possessed the absurd, some requisite tragedy and a dramatic denouement. I liked Brian Vickers as the leading man, but Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson, and Lisa Mayfield nailed their supporting roles. Moreover, it proved that Crazy still exists in NASCAR, and as the Chase takes shape, the circus will only get better. Kyle may be typecast, but he plays the stereotype...

When the Sprint Cup Series makes it's two trips to Michigan International Speedway, it doesn't come down to who has the fast car. In the end, it is about who has the most gas in the fuel cell to get it across the finish line.
In this first edition of "Parks Race Reactions," I'm going to take a vivid view of the Carfax 400 at Michigan.
First of all, I have got...

This morning, I was awakened at 6:00 AM by the sound of engines and turbo chargers as classic cars, hot rods, street rods, and customized vehicles paraded down Colorado Avenue to enter the annual Good Times Auto Show. This open, just for fun, car show is an annual event that falls,intentionally, on the same weekend as the famous Woodward Dream Cruise in Michigan. Our little show...
