Opinion & Commentary

Analysis, reaction, and commentary from John Speedway and Grand National Today contributors.

Speedway doesn't just tell you what happened — he tells you what it means, why it matters, and what you should be paying attention to next. The opinion section is where GNT gets personal: hot takes grounded in deep knowledge, celebrations that feel earned, and laments that come from a place of genuine love for the sport.

The Speedway Column

John Speedway's column runs 2–3 times per month. Expect the same breathless intensity he brings to Charlotte Mercury sports coverage, dialed up to expert-level racing analysis. Setups, tire strategy, the craft of driving — Speedway writes up to the reader here.
