The last race of the season is here. The trend at Homestead-Miami Speedway is for the final four drivers to dominate this race. The drivers competing for the title last year finished No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 last year. I expect the same this week. It should be fun to see […]

MENCS: Garage Talk Notes for Texas
The MENCS traveled back to Texas Motor Speedway this week. The series has not competed at the track since March but we did have two races in the playoffs on the 1.5-mile tracks. The drivers who ran well at Las Vegas and Kansas should be fast this week. It will be fun to see the eight […]

MENCS: Garage Talk Notes for Dover
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 […]
