To say that Kevin Harvick is on a “hot streak” doesn’t quite seem to capture the impressive performance he and his team have put on lately, but that’s exactly what it is. Harvick’s win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway was his sixth consecutive finish of either first or second, dating back to last season. Considering …
Sometimes the drivers head off of pit road onto the racetrack to begin the pace laps that will eventually lead to the green flag of the race, and you have absolutely no idea who will win. Several drivers have shown speed in practice, many of them have good records and even wins at this particular …
A week after Kyle Busch was severely injured after hitting a part of the wall without SAFER barriers at Daytona International Speedway, Jeff Gordon struck a similarly unprotected wall at Atlanta Motor Speedway in a hard impact. Thankfully the results weren’t as dire or drastic. Gordon walked away from the incident without showing any problems. …
On the 22nd of February, the 22 car of Joey Logano went to Victory Lane in the Daytona 500. Further back in the pack, Jeff Gordon’s storybook weekend suddenly took a negative turn. Yet both drivers were still smiling at the end of the race on Sunday. “For some reason, I’m still smiling and enjoying every …
Kurt Busch’s second and final appeal following his indefinite suspension from NASCAR has been denied by Bryan Moss, the National Motorsports Final Appeals Officer. On Friday, Busch was suspended indefinitely after a Kent County (Delaware) Family Court Commissioner found that Busch had “more likely than not” committed an act of domestic abuse against ex-girlfriend Patricia …
It appears that not everything from the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season was left completely behind. Of course, is it ever?

Carl Edwards finds himself in unfamiliar territory this weekend in Daytona, and it’s not just because he is with a new team this season. Edwards, who moved over to Joe Gibbs Racing over the offseason after 10 years with Roush Fenway Racing, is not guaranteed a spot in next week’s season-opening Daytona 500. Edwards is …
Trevor Bayne had a busy 2015 season. While racing full-time in the Nationwide Series for RFR, Bayne also ran 12 NSCS races for Wood Brothers Racing.
Chris Buescher’s low and high points are stark contrasts. It’s not very often a team that fails to qualify for a race is competing for the victory several months later.
Holy cow! It’s only been a few days since the final race of the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season and I’m still pumped up about it. I was cheering for no particular driver and yet I found my heart racing in the close laps of the race, unwilling at times to even look down …
The championship race is finally upon us and NASCAR Nation is all a-Twitter about possibly having a winless champion, despite NASCAR’s emphasis on creating a system where it should have been all but impossible for that to happen. Though three of the four drivers have victories (Denny Hamlin has one, Joey Logano has five, and …
To say that NASCAR has faced some criticism in the past for being inconsistent on issuing penalties would be an understatement.

Even with the introduction of the new penalty system, the different levels assessed didn’t …
