Kyle Busch turned a sunny day at Sonoma Raceway into his day of reckoning in the Sprint Cup Series as the 30-year-old – who is only four months removed from suffering a broken leg and foot at Daytona in February – took advantage of a brilliant strategy move late to hold off brother Kurt to …
Right turns? The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series doesn’t usually do many of them, but this weekend’s round of stock car action will be an exception.

We made it through the chaos last week and we are back to some normalcy this week. Over all our fantasy team made it out of Talladega relatively intact. We got burnt on the David Ragan pick but other than that, all is well that ends well. The race ended well for Dale Earnhardt Jr. …
