NASCAR Cup Series

Stenhouse has three-career Sprint Cup starts at Las Vegas with an average starting position of 14.7 and average finishing position of 24.7.

NASCAR heads west for three consecutive weekends and it starts this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where Ford has had the most success of any manufacturer with eight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victories. Here’s a look at some of the more memorable moments for Ford at LVMS.

Martin Truex Jr.’s past two visits to Las Vegas have been quite memorable even though he never hit the jackpot at one of the local casinos.

Two-time NASCAR Champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and the No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing Sprint Cup team will not be reaching in the drink cooler for any of that ‘purple stuff’, OJ or soda when they feel the need to quench their thirst at the race track, instead they will go for the refreshing bold and tangy taste of a true classic - SunnyD.

Las Vegas Preview: The Series heads to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for Sunday’s 400-mile event on the 1.5-mile oval. Hamlin has two top-five finishes and five top-10 results in 10 previous starts at Las Vegas, including a career-best third-place run in 2007.

This last weekend, we got a show the likes of which we haven't seen in years now. Cars that were sideways, three-wide and passing. That's right, it was racing, everyone. That's what racing is. That's what racing should be.

The drivers liked it. I think most pure race enthusiasts liked it. I kind of liked it. It was not the visual experience Daytona provides, granted, but you could not to sure of anything until it ended.

Under clear blue Georgia skies, Jimmie Johnson gambled on his fuel to put himself in position to win the race. On the final restart, he got the best restart and scored the victory in the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It tied him with the late Dale Earnhardt for seventh on NASCAR's all-time wins list.

There have been two races run in the 2016 NASCAR Sprint cup season. One, the Daytona 500, is a crapshoot. There is nothing that can be taken from that race that will apply anywhere but at the World Center of Racing and Talladega Super Speedway. Atlanta is a different animal, or was it?

Fans coming to the Good Sam 500 at Phoenix International Raceway will be entertained with live music prior to the race as popular Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum rock group Soul Asylum will perform a pre-race concert in the Fan Midway area at 10:30 a.m. MST.
