  • 2011 Chevrolet Camaro

    The Chevrolet Camaro and American rock star Kid Rock are perhaps two of the more well-known symbols of Detroit, and in honor of the musician's 40th birthday, he was given a brand-new Camaro SS. NASCAR star Jimmie Johnson did the honors, presenting the "Cowboy" with a black SS with black wheels, black-wall tires, and the number 40 painted on the doors. The fuel-filler door is stamped with the words "Made in Detroit" while the hood had an "American Bad Ass" logo. Kid Rock's party was held at Ford Field in downtown Detroit, and the Camaro was uncovered before being hoisted by a lift. Talk about...

    NASCAR Signs American Ethanol, Goes E15 For 2011

    Motorsports and ecology aren't exactly hand-in-hand concepts. Getting the most speed out of a car usually involves pumping a lot of fuel through it--just to end up back where it started.

We'll receive an email about new air-fresheners or nutria-trimmed seat covers or those seriously creepy car lashes, and it'll make us super-sad -- not because of the products themselves, but because some poor PR newbie, fresh out of...

  • Toyota Camry NASCAR pace car

    Would you tune in to NASCAR, not on Sunday race day, but on "Must-See TV?" A report out of Hollywood suggests NASCAR is lending its drama to NBC for "The Crew," a new drama that unfolds with the racing series as a backdrop. From the pen that brought you the short-lived superfriends drama Heroes, Joe Pokaski's new drama will follow brothers who work on a NASCAR racing team and have a shared goal--but probably predictably, many different ways of getting there. Watch for black sheep, relationship angst, and, we suggest, chunks of tires if you're on the infield. NASCAR has been chronicled before...
