Dillon took the top starting spot for Saturday's Fred's 250 powered by Coca-Cola with a lap of 177.291 mph. It was his third career pole in just twenty one starts in the series.
No DNF’s, 99.9% laps completed (only missed five laps of 8,231), 2 wins, 10 top fives, 15 top tens, 14 weeks atop the points standings. These numbers indicate a spectacular season, and one that many Sprint Cup drivers would love to have. However, even with all this success, Greg Biffle, who has struggled in the Chase, with finishes of 13th, 18th, 16th, is now focusing on trying finish in the top 5 in the season standings.
One of the most successful cause-related NASCAR sponsorships to date, AARP’s Drive to End Hunger with four-time champion Jeff Gordon, has been extended.
As all at the Monster Mile mourned the passing of Chris Economaki, here is what was surprising and not surprising from the third Chase race, the 43rd annual AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway.
As part of his continuing efforts to not only call attention to the issue of senior hunger but also to do something about it, Jeff Gordon teamed up with Chase Card Services and the AARP Foundation to pack 400 meal boxes for the Food Bank of Delaware this past race weekend.
Brad Keselowski saved enough fuel and won Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) AAA 400 at Dover Int'l Speedway. Keselowski held off Jeff Gordon in the final laps to capture his first win at Dover and the fifth of the season.
Nicole Biffle is one busy young woman, as wife to Chase contender Greg and mom to 15 month old Emma. And while obviously completely committed to both of those roles, she is also passionate about her work with the Greg Biffle Foundation.
Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t see much difference in the Chase format than the regular season. It looks like the season will come down to Brad Keselowski, Jimmie Johnson, and Denny Hamlin.
I went into this weekend’s festivities at Dover International Speedway with a mindset of nothing but wanting the best. My favorite driver and my idol, Kevin Harvick, was doing a question and answer session on Saturday morning on the front stretch from about 10:30 – 10:45 with Elliott Sadler and car owner Richard Childress.
Ryan Ellis and Young’s Motorsports are shifting into the final stretch of the year with a new partner joining the No. 02 Chevrolet for Saturday night’s Fleetio 200 at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway.
AAG Racing competed at Circuit of The Americas (COTA) earlier this year in USAC competition with Mustang Cup USA, with Chris Clarke piloting the No. 9 entry.
Fleetio announced an expanded multi-year partnership with 23XI Racing, continuing Fleetio’s primary sponsorship of Corey Heim in select NASCAR Cup Series races.
Bettors looking at race markets through FanDuel can consider those factors alongside qualifying position, practice speed, and how consistently a driver has maintained competitive pace over longer runs.
