The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and XFINITY Series head to Pocono Raceway this weekend. The Camping World Truck Series is off. Please check below for the complete schedule of events.
I have an admission to make. I am not all that excited about Pocono this weekend. I thought maybe it had something to do with just getting out of the wrong side of the bed, or that my transformation into a cantankerous old fart had finally reached its conclusion.
Since they dropped the racing from 500 miles to 400 miles at Pocono, it has drastically improved. I can't explain why, but eliminating those extra 100 miles changed the way the drivers attack the track.
It was the year’s greatest race day, with three major events taking place. The Monaco Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500, and the World 600 could have meant a lot of couch time, never mind the latest episode of Game of Thrones, but I try to exercise while gazing at the tube. I mean, those sandwiches were not going to make themselves.
So to come to Charlotte, win the pole for the Coca-Cola 600, then set a race record by leading 392 of 400 on the way to victory, there's no doubt that Truex and the No. 78 crew truly deserved a visit to Victory Lane, especially after all that they've gone through.
CONCORD, N.C. -- Domination was the name of Martin Truex Jr.'s game tonight as he concluded the "greatest day in racing" 2016 with a victory in the Queen City. The driver of the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota led a race-high of 392 of the 400 laps on his way to winning the 57th annual Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
CONCORD, N.C. -- Denny Hamlin won the Hisense 4K TV 300 XFINITY Series Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, moving up through the field and making the pass during overtime to claim the checkered flag.
CONCORD, N.C. -- For many, Memorial Day weekend is a holiday spent with family and friends, highlighted by cookouts, trips to the beach and lighthearted fun. But for those who have lost loved ones in the service of our country, it is both a time of somber reflection and a celebration of their lives.
In the last couple of weeks, Kyle Larson has been showing some much needed results. He finished second in a spirited battle with Matt Kenseth at Dover, then followed it up with an aggressive win the the Sprint Showdown, the last-chance qualifier for the Sprint All-Star event at Charlotte.
The 2022 Truck Series champion from Huntington Beach, California, was fined $50,000 for accelerating into the rear of Carson Hocevar's entry during the cooldown lap this past weekend at Phoenix and amid earlier run-ins between the duo.
Spire Motorsports has one pole, one win, two top fives and five top 10s. Carson Hocevar earned his first career Cup Series victory at Talladega April 26.
