BK Racing announced today four additional associate sponsors for their team at the upcoming Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway.

DiBenedetto's interview just goes to show what's great about NASCAR. While it may seem like the front is always the same guys day in and day out, and it may seem like old hat for drivers and fans, every so often one of the little guys who will work just as hard as his crew will have a good day.

There are ways to describe Sunday’s action in Bristol, but to do it justice one would need a blow-by-blow analysis of most of the competitors to figure out what happened, and how it happened. Let us begin with what we know.

The point I'm driving at here is that the race track is a dangerous place and you must have constant awareness of your surroundings. If you don't, you're going to get yourself injured or killed.

It was a spectacular race. I would even say it's been the best since the grinding down of the top lane back in 2012. Sitting in the media center watching the event, I was thinking to myself, "This is Bristol. This is Bristol at its finest."

In his 41st NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) start, Matt DiBenedetto, driver of the No. 83 Cosmo Motors Toyota Camry for BK Racing, scored a career-best sixth-place finish in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon.
