NASCAR's roots are in the American South. Before its expansion over the past two decades, the racing circuit was thought of as a regional sport, one with a great deal in common with country music. In 1985, some of the biggest names i

Before, during and after Kyle Busch won Saturday’s National Rifle Association 500 in Fort Worth, Tex., there was debate around the organization’s sponsorship of the Sprint Cup event. Some critics felt that the NRA’s sponsorship of the race brought the ongoing debate on gun control into the sports world. Following normal customs, the NRA obtained [...]

Sprint Cup teams have to make a number of adjustments this week as they head back to the west coast for the first and only race at Auto Club Speedway this season. They’re making their second cross-country trip in 3 weeks time, which is certainly no fun for the folks driving the haulers. And, the [...]

Contenders emerge early in the NASCAR season. Make no doubt about it, Kasey Kahne is a contender. After finishing second last week at Las Vegas, when it seemed as though he had the fastest car on the track, Kahne was able to avenge his runner up finish with a victory in Tennessee. While Kahne’s win [...]

Sprint Cup 2013 — Food City 500 Preview

Tommy Joe Martins — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 13:00:38 +0000

In all sports, I love conflict. I especially love it in NASCAR. And no place is prone to cause more conflict than Bristol Motor Speedway.

I’ve been there. The atmosphere is unbelievable. It’s rare in this new NASCAR world full of mile-and-a-half tracks where most fans can only see portions of the racetrack that a spectator can get a full, unabridged view of a speedway

Kobalt 400 Recap 2013: Kenseth Prevails For Third Win

Tommy Joe Martins — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:27:19 +0000

I think NASCAR is getting exactly what they wanted. So far in this 2013 Sprint Cup season the race winners have been a Chevrolet, a Ford and a Toyota. Even split. Now, I’m not naïve enough to think this will continue for the entire year, but here in the early going, all three of the [...]

Who’s going to get lucky in Vegas? If you want Lady Luck to smile on your car, they’ve got to be willing to roll the dice with a late race gamble, but even then, they might just crap out. One thing is for sure: if you want to win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, you’ve [...]

Subway Fresh Fit 500 Results: Edwards Makes a Statement

This wasn’t just a win for Carl Edwards. This was a statement. With merely a few laps remaining in the Subway Fresh Fit 500, Edwards’ rear view mirror was filled with the images of the winners of the last 6 Sprint Cup championships: Jimmie Johnson & Brad Keselowski. Edwards’ seemed to be pulling away from [...]

Sprint Cup Preview: Subway Fresh Fit 500

Daytona is a magical place. During the final laps of the Daytona 500, we completely forget about the first 490 miles. And during this season’s Great American Race, the first 490 were pretty easy to forget.
