Sometimes it's instructive to find some perspective in the Age of Social Media.

Not everyone is on Twitter. There are even a few cave dwellers, igloo inhabitants and proud owners of thatched-roof huts who aren't on Facebook.

Some NASCAR fans just switch on the TV to watch the race. As much as I like to think they all hang on every word in this column, most of them don't. They crack open a can of mixed nuts, pop open a beer, lean back in the recliner and flip on the TV. Mike Joy, Darrell Waltrip, Jeff Gordon, Larry McReynolds and the Goodyear Blimp take it from there.

Joey Logano is one million dollars richer after good timing and hard driving. In an undoubtedly confusing race format, Logano happened to be there at the end to make a tough pass on then-leader Kyle Larson in the exhibition race's final laps. 

Although there appeared to be no contact between Logano and Larson, the No. 42 Target Chevrolet driven by Larson made hard contact with the outside wall forcing him to a 16th finish.

For the second consecutive week Matt Crafton is celebrating in victory lane. This time at the site of his first ever win in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Crafton led a race-high 47 laps on the way to his second win of the season. The two-time series champion knew his truck was dialed in for a big afternoon.

At least three NASCAR Cup Series champions and Hall Of Famers—Bobby Allison, Ned Jarrett and Rex White—are among the stock car racing legends scheduled to gather and meet fans May 22 in Mooresville.

It has become somewhat of an annual reunion that dozens of stars from the sport’s past meet at Memory Lane Museum to sign autographs and pose for photos the day following the all-star race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.  The hours this year are 1:30-4:30 p.m. at the museum located at 769 River Highway (N.C. 150) five miles west of I-77’s Exit 36 in Mooresville.  Admission is $10 for adults, $6 for kids 6-12.

I wonder if all the changes in the history of what is now the Sprint All-Star Race (I think) are recorded anywhere.

It should be called the Guinea Pig.

I'm not going to attempt to recite them here. I'm not even going to write about changes this year. I can rely on Michael Waltrip and Larry McReynolds to take care of that.

Heading into Sunday afternoon's AAA 400 Drive For Autism at Dover International Speedway, the 2016 season has been anything but lucky for former Sprint Cup champion Matt Kenseth.

Kenseth was not caught up in the 18 car pileup which ensued on lap 354 when then-leader Jimmie Johnson appeared to spin his tires and get turned around by the No. 78 Toyota of Martin Truex, Jr.

​Driving Joe Gibbs Racing's vaunted No. 20 in the Xfinity series comes with high expectations  -- it comes with the territory. But so far in 2016 rookie Erik Jones is setting the standard and paying dividends. 

Dividends to the tune of $200,000 dollars in bonus Dash4Cash money awarded from Xfinity, the series' title sponsor. Jones, who won the Dash4Cash on the highbanks of Bristol, backed up his win on the 0.53-mile concrete short track with a win a win on the one-mile concrete track at Dover International Speedway.

Jones, who was locked into the Xfinity series' Chase prior to Saturday afternoon's Ollie's Bargain Outlet 200, came in second in his Dash4Cash heat race but led 76 of the main event's 120 laps to take home the fourth Xfinity series win of his career.

Fan is short for "fanatic." No one should expect balance and reason.

Kyle Busch's latest victory, at Kansas Speedway on Saturday night, was a race. Not one of the best. Probably the worst of the season in terms of excitement. Busch didn't dominate. He was there to win when a bad break sidelined Martin Truex Jr., who led 81 percent of the laps before he left the pits with a loose wheel, one that apparently caused not by loose lugnuts but a part failure.

No worries, though. When Truex stopped dominating, Busch started.
