Young: NASCAR drivers ready to welcome Patrick
Well, the Danica Patrick experiment is about to come to fruition with word she is close to completing a Nationwide Series deal with JR Motorsports.

Young: Hallow-Dega promises to be a devil of a time
Talladega and Halloween. It’s such a perfect match that it makes you wonder why the two haven’t been paired before now.

Young: Johnson's wins annoy many fans
NASCAR is different from every other professional sport in that it's both an individual and a team sport. A great driver won't be very good with a mediocre team, and vice versa.

Young: Earnhardt is right to be frustrated
You can tell it’s a slow news time in NASCAR when it makes headlines that Dale Earnhardt Jr. is frustrated. I mean, really, what’s he supposed to be late in a winless season as his three Hendrick Motorsports teammates duke it out for a title?

Young: Johnson in good shape, but don’t crown him yet
OK, so the Chase is over, right? I mean, Jimmie Johnson already is past his worst Chase tracks, won at California and now has slam dunks ahead of him at Charlotte and at Martinsville.

Young: Stewart: Pit choices likely to determine Cup title
Fans may not like it, but expect this Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship to be decided by pit strategy more than anything else. At least that is the opinion of Tony Stewart, who won last week after he took two tires to gain track position late when several other contenders took four.

BLOG: Consistent start times will help NASCAR
It may be too late to recover much of the media coverage lost in the last two years, but NASCAR made a wise move this week by working with its many television partners to put a little consistency in race start times.

Young: Knaus says warnings are a good thing
Are Jimmie Johnson and Mark Martin cheating their way to the top of the Sprint Cup standings?

Young: ‘Boring’ critics don’t remember old days
After sampling a few online articles following Sunday’s Chase opener at Loudon, I find it interesting that most members of the NASCAR media (i.e., anyone with access to a blog) still find the Chase boring.

Young: Through it all, Johnson to win again
Anyone who's familiar with this column knows predictions aren't my strong suit (you should see my fantasy team), but we all have to do it at this time of year. And, hey, they can be fun at times, like the year I picked Elliott Sadler, or was it Jeremy Mayfield? I forget.

Young: Get some differerent tracks in the Chase
Saw a story the other day titled, “Should Talladega be in the Chase?” Being from the South, of course, I thought why not?
Posted: Saturday - Sept. 12, 2009
Young: Ten drivers in final fight for eight spots
If it’s drama you want, then Saturday night’s Sprint Cup regular-season finale at Richmond should provide plenty. Only the top four spots heading into the race are locked into the Chase for the championship.
Posted: Saturday - Sept. 5, 2009
Young: Eight still battling for six Chase spots
Though I’m sure NASCAR would prefer a couple of other names be involved (wink, wink), there is at least some drama left in the cut to the Chase this year.

Young: Martin stays true to reputation
OK, raise your hand if you were secretly (or not so secretly) rooting for Mark Martin to stick his bumper to Kyle Busch last Saturday at Bristol. What a story: Good guy Martin teaches bad boy Busch a lesson about acting up on the track.

Young: Kyle Busch's nemesis still is himself
We've seen this movie before: Uber-talented driver can't seem to put emotional demons behind him.
