NASCAR Cup Series

The 29-year-old driver, who enjoys competing on NASCAR’s big tracks, will be looking to overturn a five-race superspeedway negative streak in Sunday’s Good Sam Road Assistance 500 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.

Being an iBelong season ticket holder at Bristol Motor Speedway is a privilege that many motorsports fans never have the opportunity to experience. But for one lucky iBelong member, being a Bristol season ticket holder is about to become extra special.

Pocono Raceway announced today, through its relationship with New Era Tickets, the Official Ticket Partner of “The Tricky Triangle,” tickets to the 2013 Pocono 400 (June 9) and Pennsylvania 400 (August 4) races are now available at select Redbox kiosks in the greater-Philadelphia area. The Raceway joins an elite list of national sport venues and events to partner with Redbox TicketsTM, including the Wells Fargo Center (Philadelphia), Villanova University Athletics and the Philadelphia Film Festival.

Up and coming country singer-songwriter RaeLynn has just been announced as the National Anthem singer for the Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on October 7th. Known for being voted to Team Blake during season 2 of “The Voice”, RaeLynn will be performing “The Star-Spangled Banner” just before the engines roar to life on Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway—NASCAR’s Most Competitive Track.

Six Camry drivers recorded top-10 finishes in Sunday afternoon's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Delaware's Dover International Speedway. Mark Martin (third) was the first Toyota driver to the finish line in the 400-lap NSCS race at the Delaware concrete oval, followed by Martin Truex Jr. (sixth), Kyle Busch (seventh), Denny Hamlin (eighth), Clint Bowyer (ninth) and Joey Logano (10th). Busch led the field four times for 302 laps before he was forced to pit late in the race for fuel, and Hamlin led the field three times for 39 laps.

Carl Edwards on racing at Talladega Superspeedway: “This package seems to make it a little harder to bunch up and partner up. It will keep us, I think, in a big group. I am torn on that. It is worse because you have a better chance of being involved in somebody else’s wreck but it is more fun and I guess fun is why we do this anyway. I think it is going to be as good as Talladega can be. I haven’t won a restrictor-plate race in the Cup series yet so this would be a great place to do it.”

This weekend Roush Fenway and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series roll into ‘Sweet Home’ Alabama for the fourth and final restrictor-plate race of the 2012 season. RFR won the first restrictor-plate race of 2012 in the season-opening Daytona 500 with Matt Kenseth earning the team’s historic 300th win.

As part of his continuing efforts to not only call attention to the issue of senior hunger but also to do something about it, Jeff Gordon teamed up with Chase Card Services and the AARP Foundation to pack 400 meal boxes for the Food Bank of Delaware this past race weekend.

Brad Keselowski: A bold fuel strategy boosted Keselowski to the driver’s seat at Dover, and he held off Jeff Gordon to win the AAA 400. It was Keselowki’s second win of the Chase, and put him in the lead of the Sprint Cup point standings, where he is five ahead of Jimmie Johnson.

I keep running Sunday's highlight over and over in my mind. It was incredible. A soon to be 39 year old dashing to his left to make an outstanding grab in Toronto for the Yankees. You may ask just what in blazes Ichiro Suzuki has to do with NASCAR. Sadly, not a damn thing, but at least I had a moment of excitement to tell you about.
