Nothing like being a driver of a top NASCAR Sprint Cup Team; nothing like being an owner of top NASCAR Sprint Cup teams, teams that are expected to compete at the highest level and win races. Nothing like being all of that but not competing at the highest level or winning races. That is the [...]
Despite the continuing buzz surrounding NASCAR Sprint Cup Series superstar and marketing machine Danica Patrick, the running joke has always been and will continue to be that her results will never match her hype. However, today at Martinsville Speedway Patrick had her second impressive run of the season, once again amid conditions that put a [...]
When the green flag drops on Sunday for the STP Gas Booster 500, fan favorite Tony Stewart will be starting 26th after struggling to find speed all weekend.
