In honor of the Southern 500, the biggest race in NASCAR in the 1950s and the first fully paved oval, being moved back to Labor Day weekend, I have decided to list my top five Cup Series drivers of all time.

Two years ago when NASCAR announced that the Camping World Truck Series would be going north of the border to Canada to turn left and right at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, there were a lot of skeptics on whether the trucks could put on a good show. After a pair of exciting races over the past two years, there's proof in the pudding that it was a good plan for series officials.

After a season long of competition stretching across the country, and beyond the borders at times, the Verizon IndyCar Series Championship comes down to 85 laps around the 2.385-mile permanent road course in Sonoma, California. With heavy hearts following Justin Wilson's death, the stars of the series will chase for championship glory, and their final chance at victory before season's end.

For the 12th time in the history of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, the drivers will hit the 2.459-mile, 10-turn road course for 51 laps ahead of the Camping World Truck Series' Chevrolet Silverado 250 for the third straight year in a row. With defending race winner and five-time CTMP winner J.R. Fitzpatrick chasing other racing avenues, the door looks to be wide open in possibility as to who will reach victory lane.

Emotions ran high at Andretti Motorsports as Ryan Hunter-Reay won the race, while teammate Justin Wilson suffered a head injury from a serious crash and was airlifted from the race track.

Rookie Sage Karam and Justin Wilson were both hospitalized after a wicked crash involving the two drivers in the IndyCar race at Pocono Raceway.

With lots of discussion and questions about restarts in the drivers’ meeting prior to the race, here is what was surprising and not surprising after the checkered flag flew on the 55Th Annual Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Helio Castroneves, driver of the No. 3 Shell V-Power Team Penske Chevrolet, scored the pole for the ABC Supply 500, with his two Penske teammates nipping at his heels.

Marco Andretti, driver of the No. 27 Snapple Honda for Andretti Autosport, is not only racing on his home track in Pocono this weekend,...

Standing by his No. 60 Ford Mustang post-race, Chris Buescher was visibly upset and reasonably so. Scott Graves had made the perfect call to get Buescher out front, but just a hiccup on the last restart prevented Buescher from visiting victory lane. Instead, he crossed the line in 11th.
