The United States ice dancing team of Meryl Davis and Charlie White will serve as the grand marshals for the Pure Michigan 400 on August 17 at Michigan International Speedway.

This weekend at Pocono Raceway local ABC television affiliate WNEP, based in Wilkes-Barre Scranton area, will have sport anchor Sharla McBride join Chip Ganassi Racing Teams as a member of the No.1 crew. McBride will join the team for a behind-the-scenes experience and in-depth access to encounter life as a NASCAR team member.

Roush Fenway Racing today announced that it has extended its partnership with Zest and the No. 17 Ford Fusion driven by two-time NASCAR champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr., into the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) season.

1. Jeff Gordon: Gordon blew past Kasey Kahne on the final restart with 17 laps to go and cruised to his record fifth Brickyard 400 win. It was his second win of the season and strengthened his lead in the Sprint Cup points standings.

"I can't wait to get to Pocono [Raceway]. Each corner is very unique and the rough surface and bumps are always a little more prevalent each time we go there. With this being my second time there, I can really focus on getting the car tuned to the track now that I've been able to adjust to it as a driver in a Sprint Cup car.

Crew chief Greg Ives will rejoin Hendrick Motorsports following the 2014 NASCAR season to lead the No. 88 Sprint Cup Series team of driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.

"Last time at Pocono was my first time ever seeing the place and we finished in the top 20. If I learned anything it was that restarts are extremely important there. That front stretch is so wide that it allows for a lot of passing options. We know we'll have a good car, so now we'll try to take advantage of what the track offers."

“I’m looking forward to Pocono this weekend. I think some things we learned at our Michigan test will apply this weekend. We had a good run going at Pocono last time, but got caught up on that last restart. It’s cool to have the 3M logo from 1942 featured on the No. 16 this weekend and I’m ready to get to Pocono.”

Good morning, everyone. We're joined today by Alan Gustafson, crew chief of the No. 24 Axalta Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports and driver Jeff Gordon in the Sprint Cup Series. Alan led the 24 team to victory last weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which marked Jeff Gordon's fifth Brickyard win.
