As a kid growing up, I remember putting together my Christmas wish list as the holiday drew near. Inevitably, I would only get a few things on my list as, being a kid with big dreams, some of my gift ideas were occasionally out of Santa’s price range (I remember asking for a new Bullitt Chassis when I was about 10 years old). For some gifts, it may not have been logistically possible for Santa to stuff them down my chimney (how was that new chassis going to fit down the chimney anyway?). Still MORE

A few weeks ago, Michael Rigsby wrote that while chasing races across the United States in 2010, he learned that the racing season was way too long. Since our season at Jimmy Gray Motorsports ended with a severely wrecked race car in late September, it didn’t seem like a long season to me. But looking back over our notes and our schedule, even we were able to get about 30 shows in the books this year.

It's truly a bittersweet time for me. For the last 10 years I have lived and breathed Southern All Stars MORE

As cliched as it sounds every year, is it really already December? It feels like just yesterday we were in the midst of Speedweeks at East Bay, or the Summernationals heat in Atwood, Tenn., or in a fog at Eldora.

But as it has a tendency to do every year, the calendar has rolled on without us paying much attention, and not only is the 2010 season completely behind us, but the 2011 season is just a month away as the Ice Bowl (and it's 20-degree weather ... brrrrrr!) will be here before you know MORE
