Coming off of a pair of XFINITY Series Championship, there was a lot of positive momentum around Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and everybody was expecting stellar results. That momentum has since faded, though, as a lot of people are asking the question - where are those results?

The issue – which hits newsstands Friday, January 23 – highlights the intersection of music and sports including features “Entertainers of the Year,” as two of the biggest stars of the year – pop star Katy Perry and NFL powerhouse JJ Watt – collide; and “The Perfect Strangers,” which highlights the developing relationship between NASCAR’s native son, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and platinum-selling hip-hop artist, J.

Scott finished four times among the top 10 in driver championship standings including a sixth in 1966.

Following a victory in 2013, many fans were surprised that Greg Biffle went winless for the entire 2014 season. However, that was just how the year went for the driver of the No. 16 Ford Fusion for Roush Fenway Racing.

From 1961 through 1967 he won 26 times, posting more victories than NASCAR Hall of Famers Richard Petty (21) and David Pearson (eight). Lorenzen’s 16.46 career winning percentage ranks fifth all-time and highest among drivers without a NASCAR premier series championship.
