Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:02:41 GMT

Jamie McMurray won the Daytona 500 with a push from Dale Earnhardt Jr. to win his first race with his new team. Near the end of last season McMurray didn't even know if he had a job after Roush Fenway had to downsize to four teams per NASCAR rules. Ironically it was his former teammate Greg Biffle who pushed him to the lead while Dale Jr. pushed him across the finish line in the end.

Kevin Harvick Wins Second Straight Shootout

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:05:26 GMT

Kevin Harvick overcame the flu to win his second straight Bud Shootout. Harvick became only the 4th driver in NASCAR history to win back to back Shootouts. Tony Stewart (2001,2002) is the only other active driver to due so. Harvick was to sick to practice the car on Thursday so his teammate Clint Bowyer drove the car but was involved in a wreck. Harvick's other teammate Jeff Burton drove the backup car in practice. Harvick jumped into the car and drove it to victory lane without ever turning a lap in the car before the race.

What If Jimmie Johnson Wins The Chase

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:23:25 GMT

Would it be good for NASCAR if Jimmie Johnson wins the Championship for the fourth year in a row? Probably not but it would be GREAT for Jimmie! I think Jimmie Johnson will go down in NASCAR history as one of its greatest drivers even if he doesn't win four in a row. But four in a row will definitely make a strong case for that. As long as Jimmie Johnson stays with crew chief Chad Knaus, there is no limits to what they can accomplish. Click here to vote for Jimmie Johnson to win the Chase.

Why It Would Be Good If Mark Martin Wins The Chase

Sharpie 500 Race Preview

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 20:29:19 GMT

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series head to Bristol Motor Speedway for the Sharpie 500. 'Concrete' Carl Edwards is a good pick to win. He won the last two August races and he usually runs well on concrete. Another good pick is Jimmie Johnson. Even though he has never won at Bristol he probably will win there someday, why not Saturday? My dark horse pick is Kevin Harvick. He has one win and usually runs well at the track and it could be a bright spot in an otherwise miserable season.

Carfax 400 Race Preview

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 01:19:22 GMT

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Michigan International Speedway this weekend for the Carfax 400. Roush Fenway drivers usually do well and this time look for Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth to run well. Kenseth is also starting 25th, a position that he usually wins from. Brian Vickers is starting on the pole and he could be a dark horse contender to win if he stays up front and out of trouble. Hendrick drivers Mark Martin and Jimmie Johnson could win. Martin won the spring race an has five career wins at Michigan. Even though Johnson has never won at Michigan, he is still a threat to win.

Watkins Glen Race Preview

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 17:40:06 GMT

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to the second road course of the season at Watkins Glen International. Look for the usual suspects like Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart to contend for the win. Another usual suspect to watch out for is Jimmie Johnson. Not because he has ever won on a road course but because his road course racing has improved and he starts on the pole, plus you can't ever count the 48 team out. But my pick for the win is Marcose Ambrose.

Jimmie Johnson Wins At The Brickyard

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 15:30:26 GMT

Jimmie Johnson passed his teammate Mark Martin on the restart with 23 laps to go and held him off to win at the Brickyard. Juan Pablo Montoya dominated the race but a pit-road speeding penalty ruined his day. He finished 11th. For Johnson it was his third win of the season and his 43 career win.

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:17:11 GMT

LifeLock.com 400 Race Preview

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 20:51:52 GMT

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Chicagoland Speedway Saturday. Even though Kevin Harvick has two wins and the best average finish at Chicagoland don't look for him in victory lane since his team has struggled all year. Instead look for Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson to do well. Tony Stewart and Mark Martin are a couple of veterans who run well at the track and are running well this season so they will be factors.

Coke Zero 400 Preview

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:25:14 GMT

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Daytona this weekend for a Saturday night race under the lights. Last year Kyle Busch dominated this race. He won after leading 86 laps. This year I think the Hendrick Motorsports teams will do well. During the Daytona 500 earlier this year Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin had the cars to beat but the race was shortened to 152 laps by rain. Look for Jeff Gordon Mark Martin and yes even Dale Earnhardt Jr. to do well on Saturday night!

Lenox Industrial Tools 301 Race Preview

Sat, 27 Jun 2009 19:57:31 GMT

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series moves up north to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The race includes an extra lap for added value :) Drivers to watch for include Denny Hamlin, JimmieJohnson and Ryan Newman. But I think Tony Stewart will win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. He is coming off of a second place finish at Infineon Raceway, a win at Pocono Raceway, he also has two wins at the track and he is leading the points so I think Tony will win this weekend.

Checker O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 race results

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 16:51:11 GMT

Jimmie Johnson won the Checker O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at the Phoenix International Raceway. Johnson started form the pole and led 217 laps to win his 7th race of the season and his 3rd race of this chase. Kurt Busch, Jamie McMurray, Carl Edwards and Denny Hamlin rounded out the top five.

Jimmie Johnson is one step closer to three-peat

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 16:40:42 GMT

Jimmie Johnson dominated the Checker O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at the Phoenix International Raceway. He started on the pole and led 217 of 313 laps to pick up his 7th win of the season and the 40th of his career. Johnson has a 141 point lead going into the last race of the season at Homestead-Miami Speedway so all he has to do is finish 36th or better even if Carl Edwards leads the most laps and wins the race. If he does win it will be his third championship in a row and he will tie Cale Yarborough as the only driver to win three championships in a row. Yarborough won his consecutive titles from 1976-78.

Checker O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Phoenix International Raceway race preview

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:06:33 GMT

Neither Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle have a win at Phoenix International Raceway. Edwards did manage a fourth place finish in the spring but his average finish is 14.5. Greg Biffle finished ninth in the spring but his average finish is just 16.4. Jimmie Johnson has an average finish of 6.0 at Phoenix and has won the last two consecutive races at that track. I think he will be tough to beat. Look for Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth as my sleeper picks. Both are Chase drivers who have not won this season and both run well at Phoenix.

Dickies 500 race results

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 15:17:58 GMT

Carl Edwards won the Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway by driving 69 laps on his last tank of gas. Its not like Edwards was lucky to win, he dominated the race but he did gamble on fuel at the end to grab his eighth win of the season. Jeff Gordon who also gambled on fuel finished second followed by Jamie McMurray, Clint Bowyer and Greg Biffle. Jimmie Johnson finished 15th and his points lead was cut to 106 with two races remaining.

Carl Edwards' Championship hopes not out of gas yet

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 15:07:22 GMT

Carl Edwards dominated the Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway and coasted to victory on fumes. Edwards led 212 of the 334 laps and went 69 laps on his last tank of gas to win. The win was Edwards' 15th of his career and his eighth this season. With the win Edwards cut Jimmie Johnson's point lead to 106 with two races left in the chase.

Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway race preview

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 17:35:29 GMT

The eighth race of the chase is the Dickies 500 at the Texas Motor Speedway. Both Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards run well at Texas so even if Carl wins I don't think he can make a dent in Jimmie Johnson's point lead. Other drivers to look for at Texas are Matt Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton.

Atlanta Motor Speedway race results

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 14:22:05 GMT
