This weekend, we have some more on-track action with the annual Rolex 24 at Daytona.  The Rolex 24 is the annual 24-hour endurance race for the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Divisions.  The Rolex 24 has a history of inviting talent from around the globe to compete for the prestigious Rolex watch.  NASCAR drivers have a history of competing in the event ...

Jeff Gordon – The Hendrick Years Written by : Zach Williams   Over the weekend of March 4 th 2023 I got the awesome opportunity to go to one of the most premier auctions and car shows on the East coast. The Amelia, formerly The Amelia Concours d'Elegance, is held annually in Amelia Island, FL. This year the official honoree of the event was none other than Wonder Boy himself, Mr. Jeff Gordon. I attended a seminar on Saturday that was hosted by Ray Evernham and consisted of Jeff Gordon, Steve Letarte and surprise guest Kenny Schrader. The event began with Ray introducing the panel and talking about the three different racing machines they had on display in the room.

Of course, at that point Kenny Schrader had to bri...
