Last week, this space covered the NASCAR drivers who’ve won at the most tracks on the national series schedules. It was a largely Kyle Busch-dominated affair — and with good reason; after all, he’s won at all tracks the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series has competed on to date, with the Charlotte Motor Speedway roval …
When Kyle Busch exited Charlotte Motor Speedway victorious in the Coca-Cola 600, it not only gave the driver of the No. 18 a victory in one of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series’ crown jewel events that had long eluded him. It also meant he was finally a Charlotte winner. That’s important because prior to …
The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR XFINITY Series go to the Pocono Mountains this weekend for a weekend racing at Pocono Raceway, a 2.5-mile superspeedway in Long Pond, Pa., which has hosted many different racing series over the years. Unlike the vast majority of other stock-car race weekends, the shape cars will be …
Guess it’s time to start reckoning with Kevin Harvick‘s 2018 season as a potential part of NASCAR history. The veteran’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season pre-All-Star break has been nothing short of spellbinding. Entering this weekend’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, he’s won two straight races — three if you count his All-Star …
Look, I get it: you don’t know every little rule for this year’s All-Star Race. It’s not like they’re easy to remember. Sure, there were little alterations to the format here and there in the early days of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series’ annual all-star event, but these days, it can be tough to …
10 races, 10 winners. That’s the case thus far in the 2018 NASCAR XFINITY Series season as the field begins its two-week break following last weekend’s race at Dover International Speedway. Each race in 2018 has seen a different winner in Victory Lane, a combination of series regulars and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series ringers …
About a month ago as part of the weekly Friday Faceoff, the Frontstretch staff debated about the best racing movie ever made. That got me thinking: What movies were part of fans’ first exposure to NASCAR as kids/teens/young adults? Maybe families members watched races and it was a family thing. Video games likely played a part, as …
For the 49th time in Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series history, a driver has won at least three races in a row. That’s not meant to diminish the accomplishments of Kyle Busch, who is now on a three-race winning streak after pacing the field at Richmond Raceway. Instead, it’s worth pointing out the amount of …
The No. 8 is back in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. Barring an unforeseen issue, Daniel Hemric will make his debut in the Cup Series Saturday night (April 21), driving a third car for Richard Childress Racing. He’ll pilot the No. 8, a number long associated with Dale Earnhardt Jr. before his move to …
So, uh, how about Roush Fenway Racing? Truly, 2017 feels like a far-off memory rather than no more than 15 months ago. Back then, the long-running Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series stalwart had started off the 2017 season on a positive note, with both of its drivers within the top 20 in points through seven …
Kyle Busch. Martin Truex Jr. Kevin Harvick. These are the names spoken most often in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series when it comes to discussing the young 2018 season’s early front-runners, and with good reason. Harvick’s batting .500 in wins this year, scoring three victories in six races. Truex has added an additional win …
Clint Bowyer‘s 190-race winless streak was nothing to shake a stick at. At the time, it was the second-longest losing run in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series among active drivers who had won previously, bested (or, uh, whatever the negative-connotation version of that word is) by Paul Menard, whose streak out of Victory Lane …
