CAR SPOTLIGHT>>THE MYSTERIOUS DAYTONA
Coming off my NASCAR post, I thought this would be a perfect time to post a quick spotlight of a car I came across at the Mopar Spring Fling show in Van Nuys. From across the grass the shape of this '69 Dodge Charger Daytona was unmistakable, and I quickly found myself heading right toward [...]
THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE>>BREATHE THE FUMES OF NASCAR
NASCAR. The word alone is one of the most divisive terms in the automotive world. Some folks can't get enough of it, while others hate everything about it.

GALLERY>>DECADES OF WOOD BROTHERS RACING
How many of you guys follow NASCAR? Not a whole lot I would imagine. It might not be the hippest thing to say, but I try to tune in whenever I can. If you happened to watch the 2011 Daytona 500 last Sunday, then you know that it was one hell of a race. In [...]
GUEST BLOG: DARREN MCNAMARA >> SORRY DAD

A week in racing, as well as politics, is a very long time. From the frozen wastes of the Var and Le Castellet, I am now pitched into the very agreeable surroundings of the Ritz Carlton, Amelia Island for the 15th edition of the Concours d'Elegance. The show is actually tomorrow but keen as mustard [...]
DRIVERS BLOG: VAUGHN GITTIN JR>> SOAPBOX DERBY ANYONE?
I know this is a bit out of the "norm" for the Speedhunters site, but I thought it was too cool not to share! Some friends of mine over at Motorsports Management International – my management firm – have been building an over the top ¼-scale replica of the first NASCAR championship car from 1948. [...]
