NASCAR Cup Series

NASCAR held its annual Championship 4 Media Day Thursday in Miami. Below are transcripts from the day that included Ford drivers Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano.

Fresh out of its break-in period, AmericanMuscle’s (AM) Justin Dugan visited Maple Grove Raceway in Berks County, PA with his new 10R80 equipped 2019 Mustang GT Premium. The trip was part “another day in the office”, part “dragstrip fun”—all to compare quarter mile times and see how much faster a tuned 2019 Mustang GT is versus stock.

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series will all be winding up at Homestead-Miami with the Championship 4 races in each series. Check out the full schedule for Ford Championship weekend below, which is subject to change.

With one race remaining behind the wheel of the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota, Martin Truex Jr. will attempt to become the 16th driver in history to win multiple NASCAR Cup Series championships.

Legends are rare. Many get an honorary title, no doubt stars in their own right at one time long ago or a pioneer of some description. However, to be a true legend, an icon, it takes a lot to make the grade. In NASCAR, David Pearson was an undisputed legendary driver, one of the best all-time, a true giant of the sport.

Roush Fenway Racing heads South to The Sunshine State this weekend as the 2018 NASCAR season comes to a close at the 1.5-mile track. An RFR Ford has visited victory lane on 11 occasions all-time at Homestead-Miami Speedway, including seven times in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS).

Matt Kenseth returns to Homestead-Miami Speedway for his 19th career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) start. In 18 previous events, Kenseth has one win (2007) along with four top-fives and 10 top-10s.

Tony Stewart is the only driver in series history to win at the famed 1.5-mile speedway in his first appearance (1999).

The 2018 season will come to a close this Sunday, but before that, the Go Fas Racing team will look to close the season out on a high note. The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will make their last stop of the season at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. A 1.5-mile progressively-banked speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway is known for being a low-grip race track with the ability for drivers to work many different grooves in order to find speed.

Toyota Drivers Compete for Three Titles… Toyota heads into NASCAR championship weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway as the only manufacturer competing for driver championships in all three NASCAR national series. While Brett Moffitt and Noah Gragson vie for the Truck Series title, Christopher Bell hopes to lock in the Xfinity Series championship as Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. have their sights set on the Cup Series trophy. Since the current playoffs format began in 2014, Toyota remains the only manufacturer to have at least one Cup Series driver competing in the Championship 4 race as Camry drivers have collected two driver titles in that span – Busch in 2015 and Truex in 2017.
