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 [...]

Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire Judging by Saturday’s qualifying session, the Kobalt Tools 500 definitely has the potential to be a wreck-fest, maybe even worse than the one we had at this track in February.

This fall at Richmond Bowyer had a good car but he was involved in an incident with [...]

Rain almost completely washed away this weekend’s schedule at Martinsville Speedway, but the Sprint Cup Series was able to get one practice session in on Saturday afternoon. Qualifying was cancelled and the starting lineup was set by points, meaning Carl Edwards will lead the field to the green on Sunday afternoon for the Tums Fast [...]
