KURT BUSCH, NO. 78 FURNITURE ROW RACING/SEALY CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Dover International Speedway, and discussed recent success, racing at Dover and other topics.

KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 29 JIMMY JOHN’S CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Dover International Speedway and discussed racing this weekend at Dover, if the No. 29 team can win the championship this season and other topics.

The suspensions have been served by Penske Racing, meaning that Paul Wolfe and Todd Gordon will be back on their respective pit boxes this weekend at Dover International Speedway. Wolfe, Gordon and Joey Logano talked with Ford Racing about what the time off was like for the team, getting back to the track and much more.

Construction began this week on new restroom and concession facilities along the concourse in the first and second-turn of Martinsville Speedway.

When Kurt Busch left Penske Racing after the 2011 season, his whole career changed. At the time, his career had only been going down. Blowups on the radio and rants in his interviews only gave his reputation a negative impact. That impact will follow him throughout the rest of his career, but he is doing all he can to make sure that’s not only what he’s remembered for.

After two weeks at home in Charlotte, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series, and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series teams pack up and head north to Dover, Delaware for a date with “The Monster Mile” at Dover International Speedway. For the first time since the season openers at Daytona in February, all three series will be at the same track for a rare tripleheader weekend.

My sons enjoy a television program called "The Big Bang Theory." They tell me it is pretty funny. NASCAR has its own version of the Big Bang Theory, but it is not near as amusing for those involved. At Charlotte last week, Kyle Busch drove into a dangling rope, and BANG, he needed repairs. Later, both he and Dale Earnhardt Jr had engines that went BANG on the same lap, and those parts were not going to get put back together.

In 17 starts at the one-mile track, Edwards has one win, eight top-five and 12 top-10 finishes. Edwards scored his only Cup win there in Sept. ’07. He has an average start of 15 and an average finish of 8.3.

No. 56 NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota driver Martin Truex Jr. goes home to Dover International Speedway this weekend on a roll that would earn the admiration of even the most jaded gambler at the track’s casino.

He may hail from the land down under, but this Sunday Marcos Ambrose, driver of the No. 9 DEWALT Racing Ford, will be racing to make special children feel on top of the world. As a part of the continued "Racing for a Miracle" program, if Ambrose takes his first oval checkered, Stanley and DEWALT will donate $1 million to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals through the Ace Hardware Foundation to benefit sick and injured children. New this year, if Ambrose and his Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) team finish second or third, Stanley and DEWALT, through the Ace Hardware Foundation, will donate $500,000 and $250,000 respectively.
