To be honest, Murphy had just about dispaired of ever again hearing from A.C. The Bear passed along the many messages begging for the great journalist’s return. Those from northwest Florida were particularly troubling, the Bear fearing that some of A.C.’s biggest fans might hurt themselves if A.C. didn’t soon again grace these pages. So, with an immense feeling of relief, Murphy is happy to welcome the world’s greatest motorsports journalist back to Murphy the Bear’s blog.-MHB-

The storm clouds are gathering. 2012 is shaping-up as a showdown year between the NASCAR Rolex Grand-Am Series presented by Chip Ganassi and the floundering American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patron. (more…)

I just came back from a long vacation, so I apologize for my absence. A lot of my fans sent me cards and emails and I have been trying to catch-up with things.
I’ve had a lot of time lately to evaluate the state of sports car racing. And if you really take the time to impartially analyze things, it is clear the experts at 1801 International Speedway Boulevard continue to lead Grand-Am to the promised land. Sure, we have ugly and slow prototypes, a GT class with only two competitive makes (maybe one based on what just happened at the Roar before the Snore), a disappointing field for the season-opener …. BUT… we got TV coverage! (more…)

The Bear has been concerned about the whereabouts of A.C, Guillermo, his friend’s contributions to this space strangely missing since the middle of last year. Murphy hopes that A.C.’s thoughtful (and sometimes deeply disturbing, or is that disturbed?) commentary will resume in the new season.
Special to Murphy the Bear
Motorsports journalist A.C. Guillermo is expected to be released from the Volusia County Correctional Facility in Daytona Beach early next week. Guillermo was arrested for shoplifting at the Daytona International Speedway gift shop last fall and pleaded no contest at his hearing. (more…)

The Daytona round of the Rolex Ganassi-Am Series (Editor’s note – apparently a Freudian slip by AC) was spectacular. The Most Interesting Man in the World won yet another race in dominating fashion, again proving he is our generation’s Juan Manuel Fangio. And all this despite the fact NASCAR forced them to race with a stock BMW engine from a spectator’s car, installed just hours before the race by the 10th grade shop class from Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach. The win by Scott Pruett and the other guy should quiet the disillusioned Grand-Am fans that complain the series is boring and predictable. I think. (more…)

The Bear got this note from A.C. tonight. The famous motorsports writer was inspired by the big upgrade to Speedtv’s Le Mans commentary, and expresses some doubts about Murphy’s recent rumor record. Always a practitioner of careful journalistic research, A.C. even gives us a statistical analysis of the Bear’s scurrilous stuff.-Murphy-
I watched some of the garbage known as Le Mans, only because “The Most Interesting Man in the World” was doing some commentating. Thank goodness he was there, reminding the viewers 236 times about his Rolex collection. I was especially impressed how Scott had such an in depth knowledge of Le Mans, even though he personally could care less about prototypes that are fast, technologically advanced and not made by Riley. And I have to laugh a little at the Audi R15. The design of this car was obviously based on the Riley. Look at them side-by-side. Can you tell a difference? (more…)
