So, team orders made the NASCAR news this week in a very big way. It's very likely that this concept is actually nothing new and has been utilized on occasions for quite a few years.
Clint Bowyer was also hoping that teammate Jeff Burton won too. The two were trying to outrun each other to the finish line in Sunday’s Good Same Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, which Bowyer ended up winning in a photo finish.
The Red Bull Racing team of Brian Vickers and Kasey Kahne need to be recognized for their effort on Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. Kahne started 26th, Vickers 30th, and used the two-car tandem to push their way into the top-five within 10 laps.
To say the least the NASCAR weekend at the Talladega Super Speedway was interesting. There was a surprise two car tandem who crossed under the checkers, there were Chase contenders who wondered if their championship run was over and there were a pair of truck drivers who reminded us that sometimes old guys rule.

Trevor Bayne is receiving a lot of flak for “Ditching” Jeff Gordon. And okay. I get it! Giving someone your word and then leaving them out to dry isn’t going to win many “Most Popular Driver” awards.
Sadly, we are now looking at the politics of the sport. Now the politics have always been there it's just that they were under currents that the fans couldn't hear and were not exposed to.
TRICON Garage (TRICON) announced today that veteran road racer Adam Andretti has signed on for a multi-race slate with the championship-winning organization
On the heels of another exciting DAYTONA 500, anticipation is revving up for the Straight Talk Wireless 500, set for Sunday, March 8, at Phoenix Raceway.
