The Father’s Day off week allows us all to reflect on nearly the first half of the season. Like Harry Nilsson wrote in his country parody song, “Joy,” things have been good and things have been bad, but on the whole they are pretty good.
It's too early to doubt Bell or to count him out of contention. He's a rookie, and he's doing what rookies normally do; learn. He's learning and posting strong results when possible. He'll gain momentum, he'll gain consistency, and he'll gain confidence. Those top-10s will pile up, but he just needs time.
You would never have guessed this was the first time Sam Hornish Jr. had been in a car this season with his dominant performance and victory in America's heartland.
Ryan Preece is the consummate racer. It’s not only his career choice, it’s the driving force that fuels his passion for winning. The NASCAR Next alum began racing full-time in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour in 2007. The following year, he became the youngest driver in the series history to capture a pole. Preece won the championship in 2013 and claimed another first as the youngest champion in the NWMT history.

Michigan brought us tremendous action. I mean, how could it not? Brad Keselowski tested the new aero package and he was excited about it. In the end, even ole Brad led 10 laps, as did Martin Truex Jr. Chase Elliott led 35, while of the other 145 circuits, 138 of them saw Keselowski’s teammate, Joey Logano, on point.
After qualifying third for Sunday's FireKeepers Casino 400, Stewart ran in the top-five for most of the race. He never led a lap, but he was keeping pace with polesitter and race winner Joey Logano.
For the first time in his championship-earning career, Kyle Busch led NASCAR’s top division to the green flag from the pole position for the 68th running of the DAYTONA 500.
