Your guide to the NASCAR tripleheader weekend at Chicagoland Speedway Friday, September 12 – Sunday, September 14:

On Saturday night at Barrie Speedway, it was evident that L.P. Dumoulin didn't have the handling that he would've preferred to get around the tight confines of Barrie Speedway. However, throughout the night, Mario Gosselin and the team continued to work on the No. 47 Weathertech Dodge and by the end of the night, the pieces came together as Dumoulin posted a fourth place finish.

Leading 182 laps, Jason Hathaway would edge out J.R. Fitzpatrick at the line on Saturday night at Barrie Speedway to score the victory in the Wahta Springs 300. It marks Hathaway's second victory of the season after winning at Autodrome Chaudiere earlier this year.

Many fans seem to be disappointed in what they saw at Richmond over the weekend. Yes, we had two runaway races—Kyle Busch in the Nationwide race and Brad Keselowski in the Cup race, but there is a reason for that and it is something that many fail to understand. There are the haves and the have nots. The haves always win unless you’re at a road course or Daytona.

In a far less dramatic and controversial race than last year, here is what was surprising and not surprising from the 57th Annual Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway.

Following a late race restart, Jason Hathaway would beat J.R. Fitzpatrick barely at the line to score the victory in the Wahta Springs 300 at Barrie Speedway. It marks Hathaway’s second straight victory on the tight oval after winning last year’s event.

Following a pair of poor finishes, Ryan Blaney headed to Canadian Tire Motorsports Park this past weekend in hopes of getting his season turned around to challenge for the championship as the series heads into the latter part of the season.

With an intense heat radiating from the track and an even more intense return to the track for Tony Stewart, here is what was surprising and not surprising from the 55th annual Oral-B USA 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

J.R. Fitzpatrick had the right pace throughout the entire race and played the right strategy en route to winning the Pinty's presents the Clarington 200. It marks Fitzpatrick's 10th career victory and his fifth at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.

When you're pushed into a corner and need to win a race (or completely out-perform your rivals), can you do it? That was the question for Kasey Kahne, as he was the only Hendrick Motorsports driver not in the chase. He answered with a thrilling victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway Sunday night.
