NASCAR Cup Series

After a long, and even bizarre, weekend at Daytona, the elite of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will be criss crossing the country to the valley of the sun for three hundred plus laps on the Phoenix International Raceway.

Jack Roush launched his newly formed NASCAR operation on Feb. 14, 1988 and on the day Roush and driver Mark Martin finished their inaugural run in a back-up car in 41st position, young crew chief Jimmy Fennig led NASCAR Hall-of-Famer Bobby Allison to his final win in the famed Daytona 500.

Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) will field two entries for the Subway Fresh Fit 500. David Reutimann will make his team debut in the No. 10 Accell Construction Chevrolet at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR).

Country music sensation Kellie Pickler will perform in the Pepsi pre-race concert at Bristol Motor Speedway prior to the Food City 500 March 18.

Phoenix International Raceway has been one of Carl Edwards’ favorite tracks since he made his first start on pavement there back in 2001.

Roush Fenway heads west to Phoenix coming off an impressive performance at Daytona Speedweeks that saw the team dominate the charts, claim its second Daytona 500 trophy and collect its historic 300th victory.

Penske Racing and Ford Racing announced today that they will be joining forces for the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season and beyond.

In response to today’s announcement by Penske Racing, Ralph Gilles, President and CEO – SRT Brand and Motorsports, offered the following statement:

Fans of Jimmie Johnson will be able to take advantage of the five-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion’s famous car number for the upcoming Goody’s Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

After a 10-year hiatus, Penske Racing returns its two-car NASCAR Sprint Cup operation to Ford Racing beginning with the 2013 Daytona 500, and if its latest term is anything like the most recent one, Ford fans will have plenty to cheer about.
