The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and the Camping World Truck Series travel to Martinsville Speedway this weekend. First up is the Alpha Energy Solutions 250 Truck race on Saturday at 3 p.m. ET on FOX. The Cup Series STP 500 will be televised on FS1 at 2 p.m. ET Sunday afternoon.

A Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Auto Club Speedway that was light on the caution count for 90 percent of its running was altered by cars spinning and/or hitting a wall in the closing laps.

The day for Brad Keselowski started with a spin through the frontstretch grass, then ended with a second-place finish at Auto Club Speedway.

Instead of bridesmaid status for the fourth straight week, Kyle Larson dominated most of the day at Auto Club Speedway and took the lead in the closing laps to return to victory lane in NASCAR.

Kyle Larson held off Joey Logano in the final restart with four laps to go to win Saturday’s Service King 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA.

NASCAR elected not to punish Austin Dillon for his actions against Cole Custer in last weekend's XFINITY Series race at Phoenix International Raceway in which Dillon ran his car into Custer's under caution as retaliation for contact just minutes prior.

For the last few years, attendance at The Brickyard for NASCAR events has dwindled and the sanctioning body is looking for any measure to rectify the racing. Their solution, slap restrictor plates on the cars.

Kyle Larson topped the chart in first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series practice at Auto Club Speedway.

As much as I harp on NASCAR for getting things wrong and continuously point out the serious problems within it, I think it's only fair to also give them their due when they get things right and point out the fantastic aspects in the sport at the moment.

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and the XFINITY Series head to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana California for the final stop of “NASCAR Goes West.”
