NASCAR Cup Series

After three years in a downward spiral at Hendrick Motorsports, one might think Dale Earnhardt Jr. might want to flee the organization, but Rick Hendrick is apparently ready to do what he promised with major changes within the organization.

If there was ever any doubt about the changes announced at Hendrick Motorsports yesterday afternoon, Rick Hendrick put them to bed today.

Rick Hendrick announced yesterday that he would be switching the crew chiefs up at Hendrick Motorsports to benefit all four teams.

It seemed inevitable when 2 out of 4 teams struggled desperately and a third struggled to hold it's own, the Rick Hendrick would not be a happy man.

Congratulations to Johnson, Knaus, and everyone at Hendrick Motorsports for their five consecutive Chase titles, but in my opinion they are not 5x champions.

Johnson finished second at Homestead, easily overcoming Denny Hamlin’s 15-point lead entering the race, to capture his fifth-straight Sprint Cup title.

There was no question that the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship weekend was going to be loaded with story lines before and after Sunday's running of the Ford 400 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.

On Sunday at Homestead, Jimmie Johnson became Captain Kirk again, boldly going where no man has gone before.

The final showdown, Ford Championship weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, lived up to the hype and finally determined the 2010 Sprint Cup Champion.

Every year it seems there are a few drivers who fans think will have a better year than they do.
