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...

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.

Actor James Franco may have rehearsed his line, but it still came out wrong. Franco, star of the upcoming release 'Spring Breakers' was at the Daytona 500 today to serve as grand marshal. With driver Danica Patrick in the pole position of the race, the Daytona 500-opening phrase, “Gentlemen, start your engines,” doesn’t fit the field, so Franco decided to adjust the wording, except he screwed it u

A multi-car crash at the end of NASCAR's Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway injured at least 28 spectators on Saturday, NASCAR said. After the lead cars became entangled coming down the front stretch on the final lap of the Drive4COPD 300, Kyle Larson's No...
