Charlotte Fits the Core Curriculum
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – That “curriculum” stems from the Latin word for “race course” is appropriate considering that the core curriculum of the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup is 1.5-mile ovals.

Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill., kicked off the Chase, and its 1.5-mile D-shaped layout is a near … Read entire article »

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Just when it appeared that Ryan Newman was going to make one of his patented late-race charges, the U.S. Army driver found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time as he was a victim of a three-car accident.

Newman didn’t get any breaks in the driver point standings either, he dropped three positions from seventh to 10th. “We really wanted to go out there tonight and showcase the Army Chevrolet on Memorial Day weekend,” said Newman. “We fought hard like our Soldiers and never quit, but we just had too much car damage to overcome.” After starting NASCAR’s longest race of the season from the 12th position, Newman … Read entire article »

Stewart Salvages Top-20 in Coke 600 at Charlotte
At four hours, 33 minutes and 16 seconds, the 52nd annual Coca-Cola 600 lived up to its billing as the longest race in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet Impala for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), seemed poised to grab a solid top-10 finish in the marathon event, but engine woes dropped him to a 17th-place finish. Despite radioing to crew chief Darian Grubb that something was amiss in his engine with less than 20 laps to go, Stewart found himself in ninth place just before a green-white-checkered finish would decide the race two laps past its scheduled 400-lap distance. But when the green flag waved, Stewart’s engine sputtered, either from whatever was happening inside the engine to the fact that Stewart’s fuel … Read entire article »
