NASCAR Cup Series

The powers that be at NASCAR must surely be shaking their heads at the current state of affairs in the sport, at least from the public relations perspective.

Round two of NASCAR's 2010 Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship moves on to the Dover International Raceway this Sunday.

It’s almost time for the engines to roar at Dover in the second race of the Sprint cup race and we’re still talking about New Hampshire.

For the 25th time in his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) career, four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson will start from the pole. Johnson qualified his No. 48 Lowe's/Kobalt Tools Chevrolet in the No. 1 starting position for Sunday's AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway.

GREG BIFFLE – No. 16 3M Ford Fusion (Qualified 7th) – “Can I do it one more time? It was really good, but the track was hotter and slicker than I expected it to be. I probably drove it in three and four a little bit too far and it went up the track."

MARTIN TRUEX JR Starting Position: 4th Are you happy with your qualifying lap? “Yeah, it was okay. You can always do a little better, you know."

KURT BUSCH (No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger) Qualified 9th "A solid run for us. We did a good job keeping up with a hot, slick race track. We improved from our practice qualifying run to our actually qualifying lap."

RICHARD CHILDRESS, OWNER OF RICHARD CHILDRESS RACING, met with media and discussed the infraction and penalties following Clint Bowyer's win at Loudon last weekend. Full Transcript:
