NASCAR Cup Series

Beginning at 9 a.m. CT Thursday, Texas Motor Speedway is offering the "Dale Jr. $88 Special" to give fans a double dose of NASCAR's most popular driver when the Texas 500 NASCAR doubleheader weekend arrives April 11-13 at "The Great American Speedway!"

Labonte has 28 starts at PIR, three top-five and nine top-10 finishes. The 2000 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion has led eight races for 68 laps. His average finish is 18.2. The Corpus Christi, Texas-native is currently 14th in the points standing

Biffle has 18 Sprint Cup Series starts at Phoenix, earning five top-five and seven top-10 finishes. While also leading for a total of 349 laps.

David Ragan and the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports team will welcome the change of scenery at Phoenix International Raceway. After falling victim to a multi-car, accordion-style pile-up in the season-opening Daytona 500 last weekend, Ragan looks forward to having more control of his own destiny on the flat, one-mile oval in Avondale, Ariz.

There might not be many places to go fishing in Arizona, but David Gilliland will still be "speaking fish" for this weekend's Sprint Cup Series race at Phoenix International Raceway. The Long John Silver's paint scheme will make its 2013 debut on Gilliland's No. 38 Ford Fusion for Sunday's Subway Fresh Fit 500 at the one-mile oval in the desert.

No. 56 NAPA Filters Toyota driver Martin Truex Jr. predicts this weekend’s race at Phoenix International Raceway will serve as the best preview of what race fans can expect from NASCAR’s new Gen-6 car in 2013.

Marcos Ambrose will travel West to the Phoenix (Ariz.) International Raceway this weekend. The Launceston, Australia native will look to better his season opening 18th-place finish in the Daytona 500 at the one-mile track in his No. 9 DEWALT Ford Fusion.

Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) will field two entries for the Subway Fresh Fit 500k. JJ Yeley brings back a familiar paint scheme in the No. 36, as TBR welcomes back Accell Construction. Dave Blaney and the No. 7 are sporting new colors as SANY America makes their NASCAR debut.

When Danica Patrick started the Daytona 500 on pole, she made NASCAR history by being the first female to ever sit on the pole for the Daytona 500. However, the real question was whether she could hang up there all race long, or whether she'd fall to the middle of the field, or find trouble.

When the money’s on the line, NASCAR’s best drivers better keep their feet on the gas.
