Tiger Woods is one of the most popular sports figures in the country, if not the world.

motorsports.fanhouse.com via @coakleymiam &bull Feb 17, 2010FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- The most dramatic race in NASCAR history ended here the other night. The winners escaped one of the biggest wrecks this hemisphere has ever seen. It was the earthquake in Haiti, and I know what you might be thinking. God, not another story about that. After 10 days of depressing news, you might want somebody to rescue you from Anderson Cooper. But what happened at this little airport proves at least one good thing.

Notes: Leffler hopes for better things in native California
Nationwide Series News on Official Nascar Site &bull Feb 17, 2010
There are three restrictor-plate races on the NASCAR Nationwide schedule, along with three roadcourse events. But the bulk of the schedule -- the remaining 29 races, starting with the 2-mile oval at ACS -- is more representative of the series' racing venues. Moving past Daytona would be a good thing for Leffler. He was caught up in a 10-car incident midway through this past Saturday's event and never recovered, finishing 33rd. He experienced similar disappointment last year. After a promising start in the 2009 season opener, he was hit with a five-lap aggressive driving penalty and finished 31st. However, he… Full Story »

As the 27-car starting grid for Thursday's first Gatorade Duel 150 qualifying race rolled off pit road, I climbed the stairs of the Sprint Fan Deck. Hundreds of fans lined the railing that overlooked the frontstretch and the Cup Series garage below.

Behind them, an older gentleman in a black Ford Racing jacket shuffled up the stairs and silently took a spot against… Full Story »
