• Playing the Race Card, or: At Least Someone's Making Use of Fair Park.

  My little brother used to have the LeRoy Neiman poster at right hanging above his bed. Last I saw of the thing, it was gathering dust in the folks' garage, but I remember that mess of a race like it was yesterday -- temps well above 100, the narrow track all but melting away, crash after crash. First and last time Formula One brought its race to Dallas.Turns out you can relive the 1984 Dallas Grand Prix from behind the seat of your own Formula One car, courtesy someone named "Nericksennahetfield

• 10 Questions: Mike Davis

  Davis is kinda like Richard Petty or the New York Yankees, at least in the world of competitive barbecue.Since he began working the pit in 1994, this Marietta, Oklahoma, native has claimed 66 grand champion titles, including last year's World BBQ Cook Off in Munich. He's even featured on the cover of BBQ World magazine this month.Hopefully there's no Sports Illustrated-style curse associated with such publicity, for the BBQ king arrives in the Dallas area this week to take part in the Prilosec O

• 10 Questions: Jeff Burton

  It wouldn't be a stretch to say he's a fan of Texas Motor Speedway. After, all, Burton's first career win in NASCAR's top series came here in 1997. A decade later, he became the track's first repeat winner.The South Boston, Virginia, native has taken the checkered flag 21 times in 16 years of rubbing fenders with stock car's best. But victory is nothing new to Burton. He started racing at the age of 7, capturing two state go-kart championships along the way.So the driver of the number 31 Caterpi

• Into the Heart of the Texas Motor Speedway Tailgates... I Lived It.

  Kelly Knickerbocker Not exactly the type of skin we're used to on this blog, but intern Kelly was brave enough to meander through Texas Motor Speedway over the weekend. Her report from the mayhem and mullets ...  I wearily ventured into the world of NASCAR last Friday, knowing I'd stick out like a sore thumb. Or worse, a Democrat. This was a slice of society I had never before encountered in such epic proportions, an eye-opening, somewhat intimidating experience that was also a smidge

  ​For those of you - both of you - not consumed by Cowboys-Eagles this weekend, NASCAR comes to town in the form of the Dickie's 500 Sunday at.Texas Motor Speedway. Driving. Racing. Wreckin'. Watching. Drinking. Eating. Bowling? It's the events surrounding the race that actually make NASCAR more circus than sport. The fun kicks off tonight at 7, in fact, with the Sam Hornish Jr. Celebrity Bowling Tournament at Main Event in Grapevine. The tournament, benefiting Speedway Charities, has
