Analytical Afterthoughts: March 2009

In-depth analysis of the wide world of sports plus more. Wednesday, March 11, 2009. The Speeding Bullets: Kobalt Tools 500. I enjoyed watching this race. There was a really exciting side by side battle between Kurt Busch and Jeff Gordon for much of the event. There was strategy at the end about whether to pit or not which set us up for a classic Atlanta style finish. Hopefully, this race and the other three are a positive sign for the rest of the season. Two in a row for the Busch brothers. Lately, we ju...

Analytical Afterthoughts: August 2009
http://gonger93.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
In-depth analysis of the wide world of sports plus more. Monday, August 24, 2009. The Speeding Bullets: Sharpie 500. Marcos Ambrose is edging closer and closer to that first ever Cup victory. He is proving to be much more than just a road racer and a serious threat to win races week in and week out. I know that making the Chase is an unreachable goal for 2009, but he very well could have a shot at contending for the title down the road. Links to this post. Monday, August 17, 2009. If you haven't already ...

Analytical Afterthoughts: February 2010

In-depth analysis of the wide world of sports plus more. Tuesday, February 23, 2010. The Speeding Bullets: 2010 Auto Club 500. This weekend has marked the one-year anniversary of The Speeding Bullets. It was all of you who encouraged me to transform a simple idea when I was pressed for time into my weekly racing blog. How long is it going to take NASCAR to realize that February is not a good time to go to California? Links to this post. Tuesday, February 16, 2010. The Speeding Bullets: 2010 Daytona 500.

Analytical Afterthoughts: March 2011

In-depth analysis of the wide world of sports plus more. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. The Speeding Bullets: Jeff Byrd 500 '11. That's all from Bristol. Next week, NASCAR goes back out west for their lone Cup race at Fontana. It will be interesting to see if attendance is any better now that the track only has one event. Jimmie Johnson came close to victory this week at Bristol, and I think that out in California is where he will get the cigar. Links to this post. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Links to this post.

Analytical Afterthoughts: April 2010

In-depth analysis of the wide world of sports plus more. Monday, April 12, 2010. The Speeding Bullets: 2010 Subway Fresh Fit 600. This week's edition of The Speeding Bullets started out in the Valley of the Sun and ended in the Valley of the Moon. Hope you enjoy the read. Newman or any other driver probably would have done the same thing. These finishes are just so unpredictable, and that keeps drivers and crew chiefs guessing each week on the right race-winning formula. Links to this post. This rain del...

Analytical Afterthoughts: September 2009
http://gonger93.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
In-depth analysis of the wide world of sports plus more. Tuesday, September 29, 2009. The Speeding Bullets: AAA 400. Congratulations to Jimmie Johnson for getting his fourth win of the season. He also managed to sweep both of the year's Dover races for the second time in his career. As expected, he dominated from the time the green flag dropped until the checkered flag waved. The only other driver who could have possibly been a threat for the victory was Kurt Busch. Interesting, interesting, interesting.

Analytical Afterthoughts: The Speeding Bullets: Daytona 500 '11

In-depth analysis of the wide world of sports plus more. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. The Speeding Bullets: Daytona 500 '11. Carl Edwards is the guy that everyone is asking “Where did he come from”? After the past two Daytona 500's being effected by rain and holes in the track, we finally got to watch one on a bright sunny day with no problems in sight. There was a record setting number of 16 cautions, but that was partly due to all of the great racing which made this 500 one that will stand out in ...

Analytical Afterthoughts: The Speeding Bullets: Preseason Edition '11

In-depth analysis of the wide world of sports plus more. Monday, February 14, 2011. The Speeding Bullets: Preseason Edition '11. As part of my return, I've decided it's time to let the people who read my posts know who I really am. So I'm going to give you a choice: you can either call me Gonger as you always have, or you can call me my real name, Brent. If the decision is too difficult and you need to flip a coin, I'm down with that too. Practice is just supposed to be practice. Instead for a qualif...

Analytical Afterthoughts: The Speeding Bullets: Subway Fresh Fit 500 '11

In-depth analysis of the wide world of sports plus more. Wednesday, March 2, 2011. The Speeding Bullets: Subway Fresh Fit 500 '11. Congratulations to Jeff Gordon on breaking his 66-race winless drought and visiting victory lane for the first time in almost two years. For a while I was questioning whether he still had winning in him or whether his career was just starting to go downhill. It's a rare treat to see Jeff in victory lane these days, and it's also a nice reminder of older times. Jimmie Johnson ...
