One of the most-hyped races of the year–the Coca-Cola 600–is this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and unfortunately it also tends to be one of the most boring. NASCAR is trying to stop that from happening this weekend, though, as they have added VHT to the racing surface to try and allow multiple racing grooves, […]
Greg Biffle – This spring Greg Biffle looked pretty sporty at Charlotte. In the Sprint Showdown he raced his way into the All-Star Race. In the Coca Cola 600 he had one of his best races of the season. Performance wise I think he was right around 10th place good but when fuel entered the […]
Plenty of Drama Already We’re at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend, and there are a few teams that absolutely need a good run on Saturday night–namely Brad Keselowski, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., and Jimmie Johnson. I’m already loving this new Chase format. Kyle Busch continued his hot streak on Thursday and won the pole for this […]
First, First, First We have 600 miles of Sunday night racing this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and although this is the second straight weekend of racing at this track, try your best to put the All-Star Race out of your mind.

Matt Kenseth – Matt Kenseth is the defending champion of the Bank Of America 500. Last year he started in 2nd, led 46 laps and earned the best driver rating (136.0). From a career perspective Charlotte has been a very good track for him. He won his first race here in 2000 and has finished […]
Kasey Kahne – Kasey Kahne will be one of the favorites to win the Bank Of America 500. He’s won at this venue four times and is the most recent winner. In May Kahne led 96 laps and had a 4th place average running position. His 135.5 driver rating tied him with Greg Biffle for […]
A= Really, Really Good Pick Jimmie Johnson – This track isn’t called Lowes Motor Speedway anymore but it’s still Jimmie Johnson’s house. In twenty races at Charlotte Johnson has six wins and fourteen top tens. Earlier this year Johnson finished 28th but I’m not the least bit concerned (engine blew up with about 5 laps […]
