NASCAR Cup Series

Each race weekend, selected Dodge Motorsports engineers, Penske Racing crew chiefs, drivers or engine specialists give their insight on the ‘Keys for Success’ for the upcoming race.

This week, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series moves to a track that I hate to say, but I have very limited knowledge about. I sent out a Tweet this morning looking for some help with making my picks for this week’s STP 400, and unfortunately got no help.

KURT BUSCH (No. 22 AAA Dodge Charger R/T) YOU’RE COMING OFF A STRONG FOURTH-PLACE FINISH AT CHARLOTTE; WERE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK ON THE TRACK THIS WEEKEND? “With a nice solid top-five run last week, we definitely wanted to get to the track as fast as we could..."

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Freight Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing How does it feel to get back into the top-12 in the NSCS driver points? "I think we've gained about eight spots in the last five weeks. Obviously, it could have been a lot better -- finished 10th last week when we had really a race-winning car."
