It’s back to short-track racing at its best as the Sprint Cup Series travels to Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend. The .533-mile concrete oval is infamous for competitors beatin’ and bangin’ for position.

Expanding their relationship with Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM), Nature Blast announced today they are taking their partnership to the next level. The cleaning supply company will serve as the primary sponsor for the No. 9 Ford and driver Sam Hornish Jr. during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway on April 19.

Charlotte Motor Speedway, the 30-year home of the biggest All-Star event in all of sports, the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, announced this year’s four-wheeled donnybrook will feature more 200-mile-per-hour, nail-biting action than ever before, the most competitive lineup of the sport’s best drivers, opportunities for fans to vote their favorite driver into the field and a huge array of pre-race entertainment.

“In the wet, the car was really good and I was able to move my way up quickly and get a good spot to contend the rest of the day. I had a couple of good restarts, picked off a couple more spots but unfortunately in the end the guys up front got lucky with the yellows and strategy. We played it right but unfortunately it just didn’t stay green. There was nothing we could do about that."

Richard Childress Racing teammates Ryan Newman, Austin Dillon and Paul Menard finished 12th, 20th and 41st, respectively, in the Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.

Jimmie Johnson became just the third driver in Texas Motor Speedway history to own victories in both the spring and fall NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races when he outdueled Kevin Harvick in Saturday night's Duck Commander 500.

Carl Edwards (10th) was the highest-finishing Toyota driver in Saturday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Texas Motor Speedway, an event won by Jimmie Johnson.

Jimmie Johnson added to his impressive resume at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) by winning the Duck Commander 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup race in his No. 48 Lowe’s Pro Service Chevrolet SS in dominating fashion. After a late caution in the 334-lap race, Johnson vaulted from seventh to first to collect his second straight and fifth victory in the Lone Star State; more than any other driver in the sport. The six-time champion led a race high of 128 laps during the 500-mile event.

JEREMY BULLINS, Crew Chief – No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion – “The bright side is I feel like we had a really good car. We made a couple changes there to make it a better long run car and after a couple of laps it looked like it really had speed and he was starting to move back up through the field. It just didn’t go our way. Obviously, something happened with the engine. I’m not sure exactly what because it’s hard to tell what happened first, so we just got to the point where we couldn’t keep going. It’s unfortunate. We’ve got a lot of power, so we won’t complain and we’ll go on and get ready for the next one.”
