NASCAR Collectibles
So how much are those diecast cars truly worth? Maybe you are an devoted enthusiast and you want to know how much your collection has appreciated in worth. Maybe you have a couple of diecast cars that you are wanting to market and you want to know the price you should request for it. Or, maybe you are seeking to buy a diecast car and want to know if you are acquiring a good deal. Well the answer is not as easy as you are praying for. NASCAR diecast cars are collectible products. Like any collectible they only have worth to a person who desires them. A 20 dollar bill is valued the same amount to anyone but an Elite Dale Earnhardt Goodwrench Crash Car would have minimal or no value to a person who was not a fan or collector. But to someone else it could be near invaluable.

Danicia Patrick shifts to NASCAR full time
Danica Patrick shifts to NASCAR full time
Bob Parsons could not of had a bigger smile,as he presented Danicia Patrick with her Go daddy racing jacket.
Danica with bob seated next to her,confirmed she was leaving Indy racing top become a full time NASCAR driver.She was very pleased that Go daddy would bring her to NASCAR full time.
The open wheel star is ready to give up the comfort of driving in the top open wheel series [after 7 years].She has had highs and lows although her record is very impressive 1 win 3 poles 5 top twenty finishes and a record 46 running at the finish.
Will she ever achieve the success of Richard Petty Daryl Waltrip,Dale Earnhardt,Jeff Gordon or even Jimmy Johnson we will wait and see if she can bring the buzz and hype and some of her thousands of fans to NASCAR its a good shot in the arm for NASCARs sagging TV ratings to fill a few of the now empty seats.She may be just what NASCAR needs right now if she can have any success at all.Danica has always been a star far beyond her out put drawing lots of press and people.
One thing for sure is when she sets up shop at JR Motor Sports they will need to build a high speed vault to keep up with the 40 plus million in Spencer money that follows her. with that kind of support ,Dale Jr and crew chief Tony Eury JR will have to do more than praise her work ethnic, talent and dedication, they will need to give her a car that can run up front and can win races.

Gordon wins
Gordon is now in 11th position, six points behind Ryan Newman for the last Chase spot. More important, however, Gordon has joined the ranks of drivers of two-win. As Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick (who has three), is now almost guaranteed a place in the Gordon Chase through at least the wild card.
Jeff Gordon rolled to a relatively easy victory in an otherwise spectacular day at Pocono, and in doing so, get in position game.
Look closely at the numbers. If Gordon is not among the top 10, no other driver in the range of 11-20 that has even a single victory, much less two. So if you can not make it through the 10, almost certainly there. In fact, the only man, even with a slight chance of making 20 with a win is Brad Keselowski, who lost a position and is now in 22 th place, 13 points behind Martin Truex Jr. by 20.Keselowski If not for the first 20 that suddenly brings a lot of pressure on Denny Hamlin and take home a victory. Hamlin is a trendy choice to win the Chase through, and for good reason, in 2010, won almost a quarter of the races of the season. But if Gordon can not break the top 10 and flows into Keselowski, who leaves Hamlin outside looking in
There are still 12 races before the Chase, of course, and Hamlin has been on a steady upward trend. So if he and Gordon is able to bridge this gap between themselves and 10 - Hamlin has only nine points behind Newman - who is Stewart-Haas teammates Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman in the crosshairs.
However, Gordon has a specific reason for wanting to enter the top 10. If you qualify his way into the Chase points instead of wins, he'll get three bonus points for each of those victories. Wild-card winners do not get extra points for their victories.
With a career efficient, effective, Gordon severe pressure worldwide from position 8 (Clint Bowyer, 419 points) at position 20. And given the fact that motor disorders Carl Edwards on the track demolished his lead from 40 to six, which promises to be an exciting race for both the Game and the championship of the season ahead even last a couple of weeks .

Earnhardt will take Pocono or maybe next week in Michigan
Now comes the best part is the most popular NASCAR driver.
Better results.
His winless drought of 106 races mark three years after his last victory was the closing of Earnhardt, however, may finally have his career back on track after a series of low-yielding seasons at Hendrick Motorsports. His next victory, especially if it happens soon, there will be an amazing product because it was one of the best drivers in the sport, stimulating both their morals and their place in the standings.
"We're not happy. We want to win races," Earnhardt said Friday. "I know these guys are itching to win and enter Victory Lane."
It is close to grasp the checkered flag.
Earnhardt thought he would win at Martinsville Speedway until Kevin Harvick passed him with four laps remaining to win. He settled for second, which began a series of three top-10. Then came grief at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He led the last lap before his fuel tank had fallen out of fuel and the number seven. Last week, Kansas, a second, giving him seven top-10 finishes this season, one fewer than his total of 36 runs from a year ago.
Earnhardt has struggled with the frustration of being so close to taking the checkered flag with pride to know that it is running on the front of the pack. He has not won Michigan in June 2008, his first season with Hendrick Motorsports.
Finished 12th in the rankings this year and ended the year 21 and 25 in 2009.
In any other sport, is the kind of results can I get booed out of town.Breaking this weekend could prove to be real. He is 0 for-Pocono, Earnhardt has five years-five in 22 races at the track 2 triangle of 2.1 miles. But he has not finished better than 12 and has three finishes in the 20 in his last five races at Long Pond, Pa.
"We had a lot of good tracks, but the last couple of years is not that great," Earnhardt said.
If it is Sunday, maybe next week in Michigan. His last victory came on June 15, 2008.
Earnhardt believes it is time for celebration is near.
"I do not know that I am a man, nothing is certain," he said. "I'm not assuming such a person. I guess I never felt that way."

Keselowski takes Kanas
Brad Keselowski throw into the mix after shooting Chase victory in the STP 400. But is it good?
Sunday saw yet another shocker , this time at the end because Keselowski made his fuel tank last long enough to win a race in which he clearly did not have the dominant car, something that has become a regular pattern.
Only three times in 13 attempts this season, the eventual winner, led the most laps in that race. In its three victories, Kevin Harvick has led a total of nine laps.That 's the same number Keselowski led Sunday when he used a fuel-mileage strategy to find its way forward. For the 260 laps of the 267-lap race, Keselowski is no better than top-10 car. But in the final laps, as driver after driver stopped for fuel, Keselowski kept in motion classification. With nine laps to go, he inherited the lead from teammate Kurt Busch, who had to prepare for fuel. Keselowski full-preservation mode, had much in the tank to hold off a hard charging Dale Earnhardt Jr. and choose victory.Despite be 21 in the standings, Keselowski is now smack dab in the middle of the Chase

Jeff Gordon may win in Kansas
Jeff Gordon may win in Kansas
When he started the 2011 Sprint Cup season, Plan A was for Jeff Gordon to take the traditional route to winning his fifth championship. Ie, using fast cars to post good finishes and collect the big points.
Now, however, as the summer season and the hunt for the Chase moves in the middle of the race, Gordon and his Hendrick Motorsports team can be faced with the possibility of having to implement Plan B. And take advantage of new cars savage rule and win a spot in the Chase.
"We're going out to get W now," said Gordon week.This last week, Gordon will be the Kansas Speedway, where to get one of those W certainly seems possible.
Gordon has been very successful in Kansas, the site of Sunday, STP 400 (01:00 ET, Fox). He won the first two races in the tri-oval 1.5 miles in 2001 and 2002, and is very good from there.
In 10 starts, Gordon has seven five and eight top 10. He led 204 laps session and best average finish of 8.5 is the second best among active drivers in Kansas fellow two-time winner Greg Biffle, whose average is 8.1.
"I love this track, I'm running well on this track," Gordon said. "For some reason, for me, it suits my driving style."
At least in the past. It will be an interesting difference in the race on Sunday in Kansas and all others who have been held there. Kansas is now hosted two World Cup races, and the STP 400 is the beginning of June instead of late September or early October. This can cause problems for sports teams is so weather-sensitive.
Autumn in the Midwest could mean much colder temperatures and low humidity almost always. The forecast for Sunday in Kansas is at temperatures around 90 degrees and high humidity.
Gordon, however, does not seem concerned about how the weather will affect the race.
"We go in June, it's still a mile and a half, it remains a major racetrack, a track that we still want to win," he said. "But now I'm just looking at it, we just have to wait and see the weather. The weather always plays a role, but I think the tires play a major role." Gordon will start the PBS 400 in an unenviable position in points. Kansas is the 13th race in the 26-race regular season and is 16th, 29 points out of 10 the threshold of this year are automatically qualified for the Chase.
Has not had a top-10 since Talladega in mid-April. It also has many drop in podiums (two) and not over-lap led five of 12 races.
If you do not produce better finishes soon as the best chance this weekend of the playoffs is one of the two wildcard slots to go to two drivers to win more races and also in the Top 20 in the ranking.
Gordon has one victory, which came to Phoenix in the second race of the season. Another weekend would be huge.
And although he said he would rather not do it through the "wild card" Gordon also said: "Everything we think is to make our car go faster every weekend, trying to get in position to get good finishes and, luck has suffered. "
