NASCAR Cup Series

Officials from Rick Ware Racing (RWR) announced today that BUBBA burger® has joined their Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) team for the 2017 season.

He’s Back. Dale Jr. Set To Return At Daytona - After missing the final 18 races of the 2016 season Dale Earnhardt Jr. returns to his No. 88 Chevrolet for Sunday’s 59th running of the DAYTONA 500 (2 p.m. ET on FOX).

Toyota driver Kyle Busch was made available to the media at NASCAR Daytona Media Day: Kyle Busch, No. 18 M&M’s Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - What do you think about the new format? “I think it's going to be good because I think it just gives you a better opportunity to score more points and to score those points that will obviously transfer with you through the different rounds of the Chase all the way to Homestead."

Toyota driver Denny Hamlin was made available to the media at NASCAR Daytona Media Day: Denny Hamlin, No. 11 FedEx Express Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - It's been a long time since anybody won the 500 back‑to‑back. Why is this race so hard to go back‑to‑back? “The odds are stacked against you. I mean, if this was Martinsville, I'd say the odds were really good, or Richmond, or somewhere like that."

Trevor Bayne heads into the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) season ready to improve on gains made in 2016 and earn a way into NASCAR’s 10-race playoff format.

Heading into his fifth season in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS), Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will team up with veteran crew chief Brian Pattie who will take over the reins of the No. 17 team.

TREVOR BAYNE – No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Fusion – HOW DO YOU VIEW THIS WEEK? “You’ve already seen a lot of ups-and-downs in just one week, but I’m really pumped about the Duels tomorrow.

Sunday, Feb. 26 will mark the 59th running of the Daytona 500 but did you know that it has been the season-opener only since 1982? The first “Great American Race” was held in 1959 and won by Lee Petty in his first appearance at the event in his No. 42 Oldsmobile Super 88. He led 38 laps and won by two feet in a photo finish battle with Johnny Beauchamp and Joe Weatherly.

Toyota driver Matt Kenseth was made available to the media at NASCAR Daytona Media Day: Matt Kenseth, No. 20 DEWALT FLEXVOLT Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Is it a big deal there might not be any practice before the Duels? “No (laughter). You want more than that? We had four hours the other day. Just single‑car runs. I guess a little less than half the cars ran on Sunday, too. I don't think it's a big deal, not really.”

When the checkered flag flies on Sunday, that's the conclusion of the journey for arguably NASCAR's ultimate journeyman.
