Round four of the NASCAR Sprint Cup's Chase For The Championship will be held this Sunday at the beautiful Kansas Speedway's 1.5 mile oval.

While the action has been intense on the track all season long with ‘boys have at it’, double-file restarts and the most intense battle for the Chase still to be played out, NASCAR fans will soon have the opportunity during Champion’s week to ‘have at it’ themselves with their favorite drivers , unfiltered, in Las Vegas.

In spite of the monstrously cloudy skies that yielded a bit of drizzle throughout the race, every lap of the AAA 400 was completed at Dover International Speedway.

Dover International offered a nice respite from the cookie cutter mile and a half tracks, but the winner was a surprise, at least to me.

There was an alarming site watching the Nationwide race on Saturday. It’s a site that’s become all too familiar with the series and no one is at more fault than NASCAR and Joe Balash the Nationwide Series director.

Some will find it hard to think about the landscape of the Camping World Truck Series in 2012 without Kevin Harvick Inc. Those who do will find it even harder to think about it without one of its staple drivers, Ron Hornaday.

At the age of 53, Ron Hornaday won his 50th NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Kentucky Speedway on Saturday night.

During the previous NASCAR weekend we watched Miles The Monster, the official concrete mascot of the Dover International Raceway, smile on some Sprint Cup Chase contenders and we watched him growl at some other Chase hopes.

Travis Pastrana, who was so seriously injured during an attempted freestyle X-game trick on his motorcycle, renewed his commitment to NASCAR racing during an appearance in the media center at Dover International Speedway.

Although Chrissy Wallace may be from a famous racing family, including Uncle Rusty, Uncle Kenny, cousin Steven and dad Mike, she is definitely coming into her own, especially with two championships now under her belt.
