This past Sunday, 35 laps into the Axalta Pocono 400, Cody Ware pulled his No. 51 Chevrolet into the garage. The official diagnosis: a DNF due to a vibration, resulting in a 39th-place result.

There are two drivers making their Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series debuts this weekend! No, listen. This is kind of cool.

Kevin Harvick won both Vegas and Phoenix, and Kurt Busch looked like he’d take the win at Auto Club until a late-race caution bunched the field up and allowed …
Last weekend in Las Vegas was not necessarily the best, weather-wise; Michael Waltrip found that out the hard way. It’s not quite Gene Shalit having a bad hair day on The Critic, but it was pretty bad. Regardless, we had 700 miles of racing in Las Vegas to cover this week. Sunday was a big …
