NASCAR Cup Series

Whether it's his new home at NTS Motorsports at his old stomping grounds in Kernersville, NC, being reunited with former crew chief, Bruce Cook or the support from returning sponsor, Smokey Mountain Herbal Snuff, Ron Hornaday has a fire in his heart and a pep in his step. After going winless in 2012 for the first time in his 13-year full-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) career, Hornaday is on a mission to prove that he still has what it takes to be a five-time champion in 2013.

Koch will carry primary sponsorship from I am Second, a movement meant to inspire people of all kinds to live for God and for others, on his No. 24 SR² Motorsports Toyota Camry in the DRIVE4COPD 300 on February 23, 2013.

Officials from T3R2 announced today that they will be sporting a brand new sponsor aboard their No. 99 Ford F-150 for Friday night’s NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway.

It is funny how some things bother a person. I have touched on the subject of start and park entries recently, I have even managed to understand why a Joe Nemechek does it in order to help fund his Nationwide operation. I think it bush league, but I do not condemn the man for taking advantage of the rules in order to better do what he loves to do.

It was a beautiful day on November 5th, 2000. I remember that day very clearly. It was my FIRST ever NASCAR race. I was so excited. I was 8 years old and I had an obsession with rainbows, hence why I was a Jeff Gordon fan.

NASCAR fans since the inception of the sport have long had their favorite drivers and ones they respect and admire. Win or lose fans would stick with their favorites through the best and worst of times. Richard Petty had one of the sport's biggest fan bases throughout his racing career. The King won 7 Winston Cup championships and 200 races over his illustrious 35 year career and seemingly never met much fan opposition to his domination of the sport.

Back in January, at pre-season testing at Daytona, Danica Patrick showed she had a fast race car. The question that remained was could she back up what she ran at the pre- season test? On a sun splashed Sunday afternoon at the Daytona International Speedway she answered that question in historical fashion.
