NASCAR Cup Series

NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) rookie John Blankenship made his first laps at Phoenix International Raceway on Friday. During the first scheduled practice, Blankenship hit the wall and the resulting damage forced the team to change to the backup car.

The NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) returned to Phoenix (Ariz.) International Raceway Saturday for the second time of the 2012 season, to compete again on the 1.0-mile track nestled in the Arizona Mountains.

Richard Childress Racing teammates finished first (Kevin Harvick), ninth (Paul Menard) and 13th (Jeff Burton).

After his most disappointing finish this season at Phoenix International Raceway last weekend, Parker Kligerman is ready to put the past behind him and pull out all the stops for Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend. With his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship title hopes dashed after an incident cost him several valuable points and a 27th place finish, Kligerman has his mind set on nothing but a win for the Ford EcoBoost 200 on Friday night.

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series 2012 season will come to a close this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway with the Ford EcoBoost 200.

Todd Bodine will head to the 2012 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Friday, November 16, with a new paint scheme covering his No. 11 Toyota Tundra.
