NASCAR Cup Series

Talladega Preview: The Series travels to Talladega Superspeedway this weekend for Sunday’s 500-mile event on the Alabama tri-oval. In 22 race starts at the Superspeedway, Hamlin has recorded one win, as well as five top-five and eight top-10 finishes. He captured his first and only win at the 2.66-mile track in spring 2014 which marked his first points-paying restrictor plate victory. Hamlin’s last visit to Talladega ended with just 28 laps to go in the race when he was collected in a multi-car wreck, relegating him to a 31st-place finish.

The second restrictor plate race of 2017 is set for Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway and Ford teams hope to continue its recent run of success, which includes Kurt Busch’s win in the season-opening Daytona 500. Here’s a look at Ford’s dominance in recent years at Daytona and Talladega, along with some other historical highlights.

1. Kyle Larson: Larson stayed out during the final caution while Joey Logano pitted for four tires. The gamble did not pay off for Larson, and Logano made quick work on his way to the win. Larson faded to 14th.

We all know what it is like. We get all excited about some event, then it does not go as planned. That Christmas morning you waited for so long, only to wake up with the flu. The day at the ballpark longed dreamed of, only to see the storm clouds roll in. That long anticipated first date, only to discover you just blew the rear of your pants out. For me, that was Richmond.

After starting the race in the rear of the field because of a transmission change to the Team Penske No. 22 car on Saturday, Joey Logano found his way to the front and won Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway.

RICHMOND, Va. -- Yesterday at Richmond International Raceway marked the end of the first quarter to the new era of NASCAR, so I thought I'd give my take on how it's turned out.

Talladega Superspeedway’s upcoming NASCAR weekend, May 5-7, will mark a host of key anniversaries at the 2.66-mile mammoth venue. Perhaps the most memorable that are forever etched in Talladega lore are the first days of May 1987 when icons Bill Elliott and Hueytown, Alabama’s own Davey Allison both wrote their names into Talladega Superspeedway's – and NASCAR’s - record books.

RICHMOND, Va. -- If Dale Earnhardt Jr. didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have any luck. Sunday at Richmond International Raceway was a microcosm of his abysmal final season to date.
