The second round of the MENCS playoffs kickoff this week at the Monster Mile. The series competed at this track in May and usually the results from the first race translate into speed in the fall race. Keep in mind though that there is a lot more at stake Sunday then there was in the […]

MENCS: Garage Talk Notes for Charlotte Roval
The last round of the MENCS Playoffs is already here. Drivers will be desperate to do whatever it takes to advance to the Round of 12. The inaugural Charlotte Roval race was one of the most exciting on the 2018 schedule. There is no reason to think the race this week will be any different. […]
MENCS: Garage Talk Notes for Richmond
The MENCS playoffs kicked off last week in the scorching sun in Las Vegas. It should be a lot more comfortable this week under the lights at Richmond Raceway. The MENCS competed at this track in mid-April and usually the results from that race translate into success in the September race. The July race at […]
MENCS: Garage Talk Notes for Las Vegas
The MENCS travels out west this weekend as 16 drivers start their run for the 2019 championship. The cream usually rises to the top at this time of year since teams give their playoff drivers their best cars. I expect there has been some sandbagging by teams over the summer so now it is time […]
MENCS: Garage Talk Notes Indianapolis
The MENCS drivers will have one more chance to qualify for the playoffs if they are not already locked in. The drivers who already have their spot will be trying to collect playoff points and move further into the top 10. Each spot in the top 10 regular season standings is worth points. These bonus […]
MENCS: Garage Talk Notes Darlington

MENCS: Garage Talk Notes Bristol
The Garage Talk Notes always hope Fantasy NASCAR players get the information they need so they can accurately predict which driver will be up front in the race. The one thing the notes cannot do is predict which drivers will have their “Cage Rattled” this week. I expect a lot of beating and banging on […]
MENCS: Garage Talk Notes Watkins Glen
There are only five races left in the MENCS regular season. The action on the track always heats up at the series heads into the month of August. Drivers who are on the playoff bubble will likely continue to play it safe and score as many Stage points and finishing points as possible. Drivers on […]
MENCS: Garage Talk Notes Pocono
The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be back at the Tricky Triangle this week. It will be the second race at the track in the last 8 weeks. I guess that is better than having two races at Pocono in two days, like we will have next year. The first race was a snooze […]
MENCS: Garage Talk Notes New Hampshire
The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will travel to the Granite State to compete in the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301. This will be the first race at a track smaller than 1.5-mile since the beginning of May. The races at the “Magic Mile” are always fun to watch. The Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 can be […]
