Jimmie Johnson’s had better days at Dover. He’s had days when he’s led nearly 300 laps; he’s had days when he started from the pole and drove to the win. But if you’re going to ever win 10 races at one track, you’re going to need some luck somewhere along the line, and that’s what Johnson got on Sunday.

The ending of Saturday’s “Buckle Up 200” presented by Click It or Ticket NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Dover International Speedway was nothing if not unconventional. One driver thought he was racing for the lead – but he wasn’t. Other drivers were struggling with pit road. And the eventual winner, who’d just knocked his teammate out of the way to take the lead, was actually driving as slowly as he could without losing it.

Hamlin won the Coors Light Pole for the "FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks” NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, circling the Monster Mile at 160.121 mph. He stayed ahead of Martin Truex Jr. who will start second after a lap of 159.723 MPH.

It’s sparks flying on the track and off. It’s warm bodies and cold drinks. It’s camping under the moon and seeing how wild things get. It just might be the best days of summer you’ll ever have.

Pocono Raceway, one of the most ‘unique’ superspeedways in motorsports, and Unique Pretzels, the original producers of a split-open pretzel, have agreed to a multi-year extension of their existing partnership. Unique will continue to serve as the “Official Pretzel of Pocono Raceway” with their products available for race fans at multiple concession areas during Pocono’s three major motorsports events, including the upcoming Axalta “We Paint Winners” 400 race weekend, June 5-7.

The Coca-Cola Company has extended their long-term partnership with Speedway Motorsports, Inc. through 2020, ensuring that race fans across the country can continue to cheer on their favorite Coca-Cola Racing Family drivers at premier motorsports facilities with ice cold, delicious Coca-Cola refreshment.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. maintained the lead over the final 27 laps Sunday to win the GEICO 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. It is his sixth career NACAR Sprint Cup victory at Talladega Superspeedway – tying him with Jeff Gordon for the most among active drivers – but his first since 2004.

With cars bouncing off each other like bingo balls for the final eight laps, Joey Logano emerged from the fray to claim victory in the Winn-Dixie 300 NASCAR XFINITY Series race Saturday at Talladega Superspeedway.
