After Saturday's horrific accident at Daytona International Speedway, is it time that fans sit back a little further from the action?

In a desperate situation where a man is faced with the decision to either seek out immediate medical attention or watch his pregnant girlfriend give birth in the backseat of his car, the only available option is to -- you guessed it -- pull into a NASCAR Speedway.

A lightning strike in a parking lot outside a NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway on Sunday killed one fan and injured nine others, race officials said.

Acadiana’s own Nascar driver, Buster Graham, will be doing his part to aid in the search and rescue efforts for missing UL student, Mickey Shunick. Graham plans to have Shunick’s picture on the hood of his car during the ARCA Racing Series next week at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania.

As if this comes as a surprise, Danica Patrick announced earlier today that she will move from The Indy Racing League to Nascar's Sprint Cup Series in 2012.

In a prayer before Saturday night’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race in Nashville, Tennessee, Pastor Joe Nelms name-checked several big sponsors and supporters of the sport, thanking the Almighty for things like “GM performance technology,” “Goodyear tires” — and of course his “smoking hot wife Lisa.” He wraps up the whole thing “in Jesus’ name, boogity boogity boogity, amen.”

Danica Patrick  has had the goal of winning the Indy 500 since childhood. She is the most successful woman in the history of Indycar racing.

Over the weekend Kyle Busch won Nascar's North Carolina Education Lottery with an average speed of 101.6 Miles Per Hour. Yahoo Sports reports Sheriff's deputies caught him going faster than that on a rural North Carolina road Tuesday afternoon.

Can you belive the 2011 NASCAR season is less than two weeks away? Now that the Super Bowl is in our rear-view mirrors, it’s time to turn our attention to stock car racing’s premier event, the Daytona 500.
