No question, Jamie McMurray’s high point was winning the Daytona 500.
For Casey Mears, the 2010 season was brutal. He was left out in the cold when sponsorship couldn’t be found for him in the Childress camp.
There isn’t a lot of difference in speed between champions and everyone else in auto racing; and no one understands that better than Mark Martin.
Michael McDowell’s 2010 high point must have been the 10th-place finish he scored at Watkins Glen in the Nationwide Series.
Riding a streak of solid performances, “Sliced Bread” Joey Logano had a chance at victory, leading 30 laps on the day before slipping to fourth at the finish.
Andy Lally’s road-racing expertise came into play in August, scoring what became a season-high 18th-place finish in only his third Cup career start.
A chain of events starting with the announcement of Kasey Kahne leaving Richard Petty Motorsports at the end of 2010 left Bobby Labonte as the big benefactor.
Given Trais Kvapil’s 2010 performance, simply being in the Great American Race might actually have been the highlight of his year.
Brad Keselowski captured his first career Sprint Cup Series pole at Loudon, but quickly faded to 26th.
