Kurt and Kyle Busch have had their differences through half-a-decade of running Sprint Cup cars together. But this morning, they woke up with a whole lot more in common than just their famous last name – a post-race headache that could take the rest of the season to flush out of their system. The race …
The new banking at Bristol, along with the new car, has bred a new form of racing at the old bullring. Single-file bump-and-runs have been replaced by side-by-side competition, with wrecks at the finish line replaced by the type of winning maneuvers you’d be more likely to see at a track like Atlanta or even …
This week, here’s a peek at what the drivers were thinking following the Sharpie 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
A fuel-mileage race at Michigan? Who would have guessed it? Seriously, as expected Sunday’s 400-mile affair in the Irish Hills left us counting drops of Sunoco gasoline to see who was going to make it to the finish line first.

Turning right and turning left was good for some at Watkins Glen, but turned others into a knot they never wriggled out of.

On Friday afternoon, Jimmie put himself in position to …
If you watch enough sporting events, it’s hard not to believe that destiny plays a role in the outcome sometimes. Having seen nearly every Cup race NASCAR has held for quite a few years now, it is beyond my doubt that it happens. Matt Kenseth won a championship in 2003 driving for Roush Racing, who …
NASCAR went back to the tricky triangle in the Pocono mountains just six weeks after its last race there; and at first glance, it looked like not all that much had changed. Just like in June, Tony Stewart crashed in practice and started at the rear of the field in a backup car. Once again, …
