NASCAR once again further soured its reputation following the Finger Lakes 355 at The Glen by manufacturing the end of the race. Kyle Busch had the dominant car of the afternoon and made a daredevil move on the final restart to pass both Brad Keselowski and Marcos Ambrose to take the lead. Busch had a pretty decent gap with about 4-5 laps to go.

Wow. Simply put, the packed Knoxville Raceway grandstands were wowed before the 52ndannual Goodyear Knoxville Nationals feature hit the track on Saturday. Then, the near capacity crowd was on its feet at the checkered flag as Donny Schatz recorded his sixth Nationals victory in the last seven years after outlasting Brian Brown by 0.117 seconds to earn the $150,000 prize.

In one of the wildest laps ever seen, Marcos Ambrose held off Brad Keselowski for the win in the Finger Lakes 355 at the Glen Sunday. When the white flag flew the leader was Kyle Busch who took the lead in dramatic fashion on a late restart following Tony Stewart's spin coming off turn 11, slamming the entrance to pit road with 18 laps left.

Marcos Ambrose battled it out with Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski in the final laps and won Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) Finger Lakes 355 at the Glen at Watkins Glen International.

When the playoffs begin in most sports around the country it becomes win or go home situation. For Kyle Busch and his No. 18 M&M’s team at Joe Gibbs Racing, just getting to NASCAR’s version of the playoffs has that mentality.

They always say what a difference a year makes. In the case of Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, what a difference two years make. 2010 was a banner year for Earnhardt Ganassi Racing starting off with Jamie McMurray's emotional win in the Daytona 500 as he held off a charging Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the final lap.

Fresh off his first career victory at Pocono Raceway, Chad Hackenbracht picked up his second career Menards Pole Award presented by Ansell at Berlin Raceway.

Carl Edwards comes back to the Nationwide Series (NNS) and what does he do? He Wins! Edwards led nine laps in Saturday's Zippo 200 at The Glen and took over the lead with two laps remaining to earn his 38th career and the first win in 2012.

Following a day of rain yesterday here at Watkins Glen International, the drivers of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series were given the opportunity to test their equipment early this morning in a 1.5 hour final practice session. With the sun still hidden behind the clouds and a cool breeze aiding the cause, the speeds were at a blistering pace around the 2.45-mile course this morning.
