Mark Martin, a 40-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race winner, revealed in a tweet Friday morning that he would not be returning as the team's driver development coach for the 2015 season.
The countdown has begun to the start of a new season, with less than ten days to go before the Sprint Unlimited exhibition race at Daytona. A new campaign, some new teams and some new expectations.
We have all heard the statement, "Behind every good man is an equally good woman." The same goes for NASCAR, for behind every good driver is an equally good crew chief.
As one season ends and a new one approaches, teams begin a self evaluation that often results in changes among key personnel. Here’s your guide to some of the new alliances we will see in 2015.
Richard Childress Racing will come back with the same drivers in 2015. Sprint Cup runner up Ryan Newman in the No. 31 Chevrolet, Paul Menard in the No. 27 Chevrolet, and Austin Dillon in the No. 3 Chevrolet. Newman said the second place season almost didn’t happen.
here was lots of news during Hendrick Motorsports’ presentation at the 2015 Charlotte Motor Speedway Media Tour on Thursday. The biggest news of the day was what we all knew was going to happen. Chase Elliott will be driving the No. 24 Chevrolet in 2016. It’s a year off yet, but that was the buzz around the Charlotte Civic Center.
Joe Garone, Furniture Row Racing's general manager, said the team has also made new hires to strengthen the engineering staff. "In an effort to continue to move the team forward we feel the personnel changes and new additions will yield positive results on the race track," said Garone in a statement.
It was a breakout year for RPM. Aric Almirola, driver of the No. 43 Ford, won his first race in July at Daytona International Speedway and Marcos Ambrose decided to head back to Australia to drive at home after nearly winning a race and joining Almirola in the Chase.
Following a successful season that led him to a fifth place finish in the season ending Verizon IndyCar Series points standings, Simon Pagenaud made the decision to leave Schmidt Peterson Hamilton.
Hamlin and Bell emphasized the winning term as their ultimate approach to regain the points lost to Kansas winner Kyle Larson following the fourth Chase event of the 2026 Cup Series season.
The two-time Southern 500 champion from Mitchell, Indiana, overtook Kyle Larson for the lead with 30 laps remaining, only to lose it with seven laps remaining after managing 'free' handling issues and wall scrubs in Kansas City, Kansas.
Kyle Larson would dominate the Hollywood Casino 400 by leading the most laps, sweeping the stages, and even rallying back to take the lead away from Chase Briscoe.
Michael Stavrinos jumped into the points lead in the JBS Equipment NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by Elite Motorsports on Sunday at Rockingham Dragway
