Already in 2013, young Kyle Benjamin has turned heads in the racing world with performances well beyond his 15 years. This week at Mobile International Speedway in Alabama, Benjamin will become the youngest competitor in 61 years of ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards competition.

Frank Kimmel knew he had a great possibility to score his first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards victory with ThorSport Racing at the 2012 ARCA Mobile 200.

Mike Wallace and Daryl Harr were prepared and ready to attack Phoenix International Raceway to rebound from Daytona. The weekend began with two practice sessions on Friday. The No. 01 Verve! Bold Chevy went through a variety of changes as the Marc Browning led crew searched for the winning setup for raceday. After experimenting with different approaches, the team ended up 34th and 33rd respectively.

Carl Edwards helped Ford become the first manufacturer to win a non-restrictor-plate race with NASCAR's new Gen-6 car on Sunday by finishing first in the Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway.

Carl Edwards was turning back flips after his win Sunday and for Martinsville Speedway fans, the victory could mean they will turn a back flip or two.

CARL EDWARDS – “I’m very excited. After I left here this afternoon I said, ‘I’m gonna quit being so nice about when people ask me about this losing streak,’ because it is very frustrating. Not that it makes me mad that you ask, it makes me mad to not be winning races."
