Super Weekend 2012 seemed like the perfect idea. We would see Nationwide cars accompany the Sprint Cup cars at Indianapolis along with the Rolex Sports car Series in the same weekend. All of the different series racing on the same weekend and at the same track would bring some problems but we didn’t think it would create as many issues as it has.

Tuesday night NASCAR announced that driver AJ Allmendinger has been suspended indefinitely after his "B" sample also came back positive.

Gaughan dominated the American Ethanol 225 only to come up short on a green-white-checkered finish. He had been leading the restart previous before spinning his tires and handing the win to James Buescher.

With the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series taking their final weekend off of the season, there was a major opportunity for the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series to rise, shine and take over the sport's center stage at the Chicagoland Speedway last weekend.

Racing is all about numbers. The cars have numbers. The drivers are known by their numbers. Laps are timed and posted for positioning in numbers.

Elliott Sadler won the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) STP 300 at Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday. Sadler led 35 laps and captured his first win at Chicagoland and the third of the season.

James Buescher battled back from two laps down and won Saturday nights NASCAR Camping World Truck Series American Ethanol 225 at Chicagoland Speedway.

This years Summer Nationals at Willams Grove Speedway didn't start off well; the two night event was rained out on Friday, leaving just the Saturday night duel between the Outlaws and the Posse. And what a duel it turned out to be.

Massimiliano Papis, best known to NASCAR fans as Max, has a great racing resume, from the 24 Hours of Le Mans to Formula One, Champ Car and NASCAR.

What's astonishing to the record books may not translate into being the best for the sport of NASCAR. We may be waiting for generations to see another driver crank out five Sprint Cup Championships in a row, but that could prove to be a good thing for racing.
