NASCAR Cup Series

Can Jimmie Johnson win his sixth-straight Sprint Cup title? How well will NASCAR's new points format be accepted? Are Tony Stewart's troubles with Australians just beginning? Jeffrey Boswell has the answers and more in his NASCAR 2011 predictions.

Johnson has made 18 Sprint Cup Series starts at Daytona International Speedway, where he has earned one win, six top-five and nine top-10 finishes.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series officially kicked off their 2011 season with the 33d annual invitational race known as the Budweiser Shootout.

The NASCAR season must be underway because there was no shortage of opinions following Saturday night’s Budweiser Shootout.

Speeds tonight were incredible and as long as the fans are enjoying it that is all that really matters, but tonight we saw Denny Hamlin make a move on Ryan Newman at the start-finish line and was forced below the yellow line.

Kurt Busch and Jamie McMurray also made their move to the outside while Newman and Hamlin where fighting for the lead and Busch crossed the finish line a nose ahead to win Saturday nights Budweiser Shootout.
