NASCAR Cup Series

Dave Blaney, Tommy Baldwin Racing and SANY America looked to Las Vegas to hit the jackpot with the lucky number 7. The results: a clean, steady performance for the No. 7 SANY America team and leaving Las Vegas still in the fight.

After qualifying was rained out on Friday, per the NASCAR rule book, the field was set by 2012 points. Yeley and the Accell Construction Chevrolet SS started the Kobalt Tools 400 in the 35th position and prepared for battle.

With the first short track race of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season on tap at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend, curious eyes are on the Gen-6 car’s performance and adaptability on a track under a mile in length.

Viva Las Vegas and happy birthday Matt Kenseth. During the NASCAR weekend at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway we watched Sprint Cup veteran Matt Kenseth collect some very nice birthday presents, we watched Kasey Kahne's display of power, we watched evidence that said you can indeed make a competitive pass in the new Generation Six car and, somehow, Danica Patrick got hit in the head with a rock.

Richard Childress Racing teammates finished ninth (Kevin Harvick), 10th (Paul Menard) and 26th (Jeff Burton).

Trevor Bayne and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane team left Las Vegas Motor Speedway pleased with their effort in Sunday’s Kobalt Tools 400, despite a somewhat disappointing 23rd-place finish.

It took Matt Kenseth just three races to find Victory Lane with his new Joe Gibbs Racing team, but the way he reacted on...

Well, I wanted to see if Denny Hamlin was going to race or not. I do not much care for Hamlin. Something about him has always rubbed me the wrong way. That may be about to change. After Phoenix, Hamlin made what I thought was a rather respectful critique of the Gen 6 car, and for that NASCAR got its granny panties all in a knot and fined him $25,000.

Matt Kenseth maneuvered his way into the victory lane in Sunday’s Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with a solid race, brilliant tactical planning, and non-stop defensive driving late in the race.

Kasey Kahne, No. 5 Farmers Insurance Chevrolet SS, led 114 of the 267 laps that made up the Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway today, but was not able to make it back to the point after restarting seventh on the final restart. Kahne came home second and posted his fifth top-ten finish in ten races at Las Vegas. It was his first top-ten finish of 2013 and he moved from 31st to 14th in the overall point standings.
