CONCORD, N.C. -- Asked about his thoughts on the changes to the aero package being tested in the coming weeks, Carl Edwards said he's "excited about the things that are coming at Kentucky and Michigan."
Martin Truex Jr. will lead the field to the green flag on Sunday in the Queen City. The driver of the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota scored the pole for Sunday night’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway with a time of 28.077 and a speed of 192.328 mph. It’s his ninth career pole and second of 2016.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and the XFINITY Series will compete at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend. The Camping World Truck Series is off. Please check below for the complete schedule of events.
Let me be clear. Any race format that artificially moves entries from behind to plop them up front is a dumb one. I do not care if it is NASCAR’s All-Star Race or one that allows me to charge ahead of the Kentucky Derby field while wearing sneakers and a propeller hat. Dumb is as dumb does.
The Sprint All-Star race was pretty much an experiment. Depending on what you believe, Team Penske driver Brad Keselowski came up with the format, so that meant immediately you have to hate it, right? I loved it. I'm not ashamed to say that I saw better racing that I had seen in many moons.
CONCORD, N.C. -- Giving his thoughts on the impact of the changes to the aero package, Joey Logano said "the racing was significantly better than last year."
Joey Logano will return home tonight a $1 million richer after winning in the Queen City. The driver of the No. 22 Team Penske Ford out-dueled Kyle Larson in the final 13 laps to win the Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
CONCORD, N.C. -- Being a day late didn't stop Matt Crafton from finding the winning lottery ticket as he drove to victory in the Queen City. The driver of the No. 88 ThorSport Racing Toyota led 47 laps and outraced the caution clock in the closing stages to win the North Carolina Education Lottery 200. It's his 13th career win, his second of the season, second at Charlotte Motor Speedway and the first time he's won back to back races in his career.
Five drivers have raced their way into the Sprint All-Star Race and a chance at a million dollars. Trevor Bayne, Greg Biffle and Kyle Larson raced their way into the main event by winning one of the three segments in the Sprint Showdown. Danica Patrick and Chase Elliott were voted by fans into the All-Star Race.
From the moment Tony Stewart announced that Stewart-Haas Racing was switching to Ford, NASCAR’s Chevrolet fans (which make up 75 percent of all NASCAR fans in my estimation) went into a panic.
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.
