NASCAR Cup Series

Dale Earnhardt Jr. hasn’t won a race since 2008, and he knows that any win – including this weekend’s non-points NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race – would provide a huge boost.

The Wood Brothers had quite a day on Friday, as Trevor Bayne qualified the No. 21 Good Sam/Camping World Ford Fusion 11th for Saturday’s Sprint All-Star race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

NASCAR’s superstars will fight for supremacy in their own backyard this weekend, and while the format is different for the All-Star event, it is a guaranteed fight to the finish. In order to brawl for the big bucks, some of the sports most popular players must make their way to the main event.

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 M&M's Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing Starting Position: 1st How was your qualifying lap? "It was just a whole team effort -- that's what it boils down to. The guys unloaded with a really good M&M's Camry today and we just kept playing with some things on what we wanted to do for the race stuff and then what we wanted to do for qualifying stuff."

Ryan Newman was the fastest among nine Team Chevy drivers in today’s qualifying session and secured a second-place starting spot for Saturday’s NASCAR’S Sprint All-Star race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 DUPONT CHEVROLET met with media and discussed his luck and disappointment in the season thus far, preparation for the Coca-Cola 600, side skirts, and more.

Kyle Busch captured the pole for Saturday nights Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway with the qualifying speed of 45.335 MPH (119.112 SECS) for the second straight time.

TREVOR BAYNE – No. 21 Good Sam/Camping World Ford Fusion – “I’m sweating. I was so nervous going out there. I was sweating before I got in the car. I felt like we did well getting to pit road. That’s what I was the most nervous about was making sure I got there quick, but then speed and we smoked them a little bit, but we were slowed down enough."

A.J. Allmendinger (No. 22 Pennzoil Dodge Charger R/T) Qualified 1st “That was a good lap. More than anything the car just stuck to the racetrack. I was letting it free up off it, so it wasn’t anything scary. You know, we struggled a little bit in practice."
