NASCAR Cup Series

Short-term lender CashCash will make its first appearance as a NASCAR partner this week with David Gilliland during the fan-favorite Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway. The company's green and white colors will adorn the No. 38 Ford Fusion as primary sponsor for Saturday night's 500-lap short-track event.

Stenhouse has five NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) starts at Bristol Motor Speedway with an average starting position of 24.4 and average finishing position of 9.2.

With the new high drag package creating some high anxiety, here is what was surprising and not surprising in the Pure Michigan 400 from the speedway nestled in the Irish Hills.

Matt Kenseth, this is your life. Well, at least Michigan was his race, his and his alone. Of the 200 laps run, Kenseth led 143 of them to claim his third of the season, and 34th of his career.

For the first time in the history of Dover International Speedway, the track is peeling back the curtain on the mandatory driver & crew chief meeting held before each NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event. As part of the new Ultimate Fan Pass, available for the first time before the Oct. 4, 2015 “AAA 400” event, 100 fans will have a never-before-available opportunity.

Ryan Blaney and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion team had the speed in Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway but came up a little short on the luck side.

Richard Childress Racing drivers Austin Dillon, Ryan Newman and Paul Menard finished fourth, eighth and 12th, respectively, in the Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway.

Matt Kenseth played “Catch Me If You Can,” and no one could on Sunday in the Pure Michigan 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and the No. 17 team traveled to Michigan, the backyard of Ford Performance and Jack Roush, for the Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Stenhouse battled an ill-handling race car for the majority of the day, managing a hard earned 26th – place finish.

From Matt Kenseth's point of view, the competition package NASCAR used at Michigan International Speedway could well have had a big, bright bow on it.
