NASCAR Cup Series

DANICA PATRICK, NO. 10 GODADDY CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Dover International Speedway and discussed the incident from Charlotte last week, what they did during the red flag for the cable in Charlotte, how testing helps and much more.

CLINT BOWYER, No. 15 5-hour ENERGY Toyota Camry, Michael Waltrip Racing - Do you enjoy racing at Dover? "It is fun, but I'm telling you, you are going to work hard for it. You've got to fight this 'monster' every lap. I won a couple of Nationwide races here -- haven't won a Cup race -- but love this race track. It's very demanding and (we've) been getting better as a team I feel like each and every week. We're getting closer and closer to where we need to be to win a race. So hopefully we'll inch in on that and maybe get us one here at Dover."

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S MONSTERS UNIVERSITY CHEVROLET SS, met with media and discussed his visit to Oklahoma to assist tornado victims, how it impacted him, and where his foundation can best assist; plus the TV cable/rope incident during the 600 race last week, his expectations for Dover this weekend and more.

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.
