Thank you to Jack Bradley and the rest of the crew at Norm Benning Racing for the opportunity!

LASTCAR.info sponsors Norm Benning, Daniel "Heartbreak" breaks through, and an emotional weekend in Arizona for many others, including StarCom Racing.

I recorded this from the pit stall next to Hemric's, starting with the final restart and continuing into the first part of the victory celebrations.

During Saturday's XFINITY Series Championship race in Phoenix, Jeffrey Earnhardt finished last after a crash on the backstretch he blamed on Joe Graf, Jr. When Graf was then eliminated in a separate crash with Sage Karam some time later, Earnhardt spoke with Graf. I filmed this footage. After I finished recording, Earnhardt went back to his hauler. I first interviewed Graf, then got another quote from Earnhardt. These quotes, along with my first interview with Earnhardt after his crash, are in this full write-up on my website: http://brock.lastcar.info/2021/11/xfinity-last-place-battle-turns-into.html

The first laps with the LASTCAR.info logo on the passenger side b-post - qualifying for the Lucas Oil 150 at Phoenix. Although he missed the show, I again thank Norm Benning Racing for the opportunity to be on board.

Happy Halloween, Martinsville!

Discussing the events of a decade ago involving the 2011 IZOD IndyCar World Championship in Las Vegas, plus the videos produced by myself and NASCARMAN earlier today.

ALTERNATE CUT WITHOUT CHAT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfmZGU07Odk In memory of two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon, who lost his life ten years ago today. On Sunday, October 16, 2011, I logged onto a motorsports chat room as I tuned into watch the IZOD IndyCar World Championships in Las Vegas. The resulting chat transcript provided a first-hand account of the emotions of that awful day, and I saved a copy of it when the race was called. Now, a decade later, I'm sharing that transcript for the first time, plus my own personal memories from that day, synced up to the original ABC broadcast. In the interest of time, these are only excerpts from the chat, but represents most of its length. And in the interest of an accurate historical record, these excerpts are otherwise unedited, and have been synced up to the approximate moments in the broadcast, where possible.

Reviewing my latest trackside coverage at Las Vegas!

Wrapping up the Bristol weekend, following-up the Andy Belmont episode of ROTFF, and looking ahead to coverage in Las Vegas!

The worst mistake anyone ever made was telling Andy Belmont what he couldn’t do. As a young Richard Petty fan, the dirt racer from Pennsylvania set his course early on an all-out bid to one day race in NASCAR. Of the many friends he made along the way, each helped him up the ladder until the chance came to compete in one of the sport’s most legendary seasons. Only then did he discover how much more fun it was to compete in ARCA. But, like many of his counterparts, 2004 presented one more opportunity to revitalize his career.

Truex returns to victory lane in Richmond

As today marks two decades since the September 11th attacks, I decided to share my memories of that day, and what it was like during the immediate aftermath.
