NASCAR Cup Series

There is more excitement on the NASCAR scene than I’ve seen for ages. We have a real championship battle and enough drama to make the daily soap operas cringe in fear, but yet there doesn’t seem to be any buzz about this final run. And I wonder why. It mystifies me.

NASCAR has fined Kyle Busch $50,000 and placed him on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31 for his actions during the Nov. 4 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.

Allison led 161 of the final 166 laps after finding the perfect chassis and tire combination at the mid-point of the race. After taking the lead from Bobby Hamilton, Allison built an 11.4-second advantage over second-place Darrell Waltrip at the finish.

As a Veterans Day tribute, the U.S. Army Racing cars for drivers Tony Schumacher and Ryan Newman will be adorned with more than 350 faces of Army Vietnam Veterans during this weekend's NHRA and NASCAR races.

Kasey Kahne (third) was the highest finishing Toyota driver in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Texas Motor Speedway.

Capping a dominating performance at Texas Motor Speedway when several other drivers tried unsuccessfully to play the fuel mileage game in the AAA Texas 500, Tony Stewart put his No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet in Victory Lane for the 43rd time in his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) career.

Even after watching Tony Stewart lead the most laps and win for the second straight week, Carl Edwards still believes he’s all talk.

BRAD KESELOWSKI (No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger) Finished 24th "Just a tough night for the Miller Lite Dodge team. We couldn't get the speed out of our car that we needed and fought all day for track position."

CARL EDWARDS - No. 99 Aflac Ford Fusion - WHAT DID YOU SAY TO TONY WHEN HE DROVE BY. "I just told him 'good job.' He did a great job today. Those guys stepped it up and I'm proud of my guys for hanging on and for still having the points lead. At the end of the day, we're going to the final two races."
