And The 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion Is….. Three points, two drivers, one champion. Carl Edwards started off this weekend being fast in practice, and brought that over into qualifying where he won his third and final pole for this 2011 season. Martin Truex, Jr. will start beside Cousin Carl on Sunday, and for [...]

Rain messed with the Sprint Cup schedule for the second time in the last month, with both practice sessions being held Saturday morning as opposed to the regularly-scheduled Friday evening.. Qualifying is scheduled to be held later this afternoon (Saturday), but you never know when rain will take that away. If so, Carl Edwards and [...]

If you’ve been reading these posts all season, you noticed that I changed the [...]

Just like last weekend, the Sprint Cup Series cars were on the track both before and after qualifying this week. On Thursday, there was a practice session followed by qualifying, where Tony Stewart edged out Matt Kenseth for the pole. The full starting lineup for the Bank of America 500 can be found by clicking [...]
