Up to Speed

Brad Keselowski did not lead the most laps and did not have the fastest car … but he was still the one sitting in Victory Lane at Saturday night’s end at Kentucky Speedway. A call by crew chief Paul Wolfe to try and stretch the fuel mileage wound up paying off …

Roger Penske is one of the most respected names in motorsports. With over 400 major race wins across multiple racing disciplines and 28 national championships, no one doubts his ability to put together a winning race team. Many of those numbers were earned in NASCAR and Team Penske continues to …

This NASCAR season has been full of popular victories. Martin Truex, Jr.’s emotional victory in the Coca-Cola 600 was perhaps the most popular in the Sprint Cup Series.

We all knew that Matt Kenseth was going to get to Victory Lane eventually in 2016 … we just weren’t sure when. Kenseth felt the same way. “I feel like the way we’ve been running, eventually the law of averages is going to work out, you’re going to get your wins, …

David Ragan has been just about everywhere in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. He’s raced for one of the sport’s legendary teams, pairing with Roush Fenway Racing from his rookie season in 2007 until 2011. Then, in 2012 through the end of 2014, Ragan drove for a smaller team in …
