NASCAR Cup Series

KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 4 JIMMY JOHN’S/BUDWEISER CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED 3RD - WALK US THROUGH HOW WILD THE LAST TWO OR THREE RESTARTS WERE: “Yeah, we lost the lead there."

Toyota driver Kyle Busch was victorious in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Brian Scott and the No. 33 Shore Lodge Chevrolet qualified for the famed Jeff Kyle 400 at the Brickyard in the 36th position. The Boise, Idaho native began the 160-lap event under loose-handling conditions, but moved his way up six positions within 15 lap utilizing his track bar adjuster in the Chevrolet SS.

“It just seemed like you couldn’t pass,” said Biffle. “It was really hard to get up there and get a run on guys. It is difficult to try to get beside guys and it was really, really loose once you caught them. I would say the Kentucky package is way, way better and it put on a way better race than what that (today) did.”

“We worked at it from the drop of the green,” said Bayne after the race. “Today just wasn’t our day with the AdvoCare Ford. But it’s on to Pocono next week where hopefully we can run well like we did in the spring.”

A late-race fuel gamble by Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion Crew Chief Jeremy Bullins paid off with a strong 12th-place finish in the Crown Royal 400 at the Brickyard.

In a season that has given the No. 14 team little reason to celebrate, Tony Stewart clinched his best starting position of the year for the upcoming Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

If Toyota and Ford are to break the Chevrolet stranglehold on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the two manufacturers took a positive step in that direction during NASCAR Sprint Cup Series time trials on Saturday.

Two-time Brickyard 400 winner and Indiana native, Tony Stewart, turned a lap of 49.228 seconds/182.82 mph in his No. 14 Mobil 1/Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet SS to earn a fourth-place starting spot in Sunday’s Crown Royal presents the Jeff Kyle 400 at the Brickyard NASCAR Sprint Cup race.

CARL EDWARDS, No. 19 Stanley Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Starting Position: 1st - How confident were you about the lap you posted in the second round to secure the pole? “Tony (Stewart) had me nervous – he was so fast in that first round. Our guys did awesome. Yesterday they worked so hard – everybody in the garage worked hard changing engines."
