Lessons Learned in 2015: RCR Is Missing a Step

By Jared Turner Job Security Is A Precious Commodity When Michael Waltrip Racing announced in August that it would suspend operations of its Sprint Cup Series teams at the end of the season, the decision meant more than 200 employees would be out of jobs and forced to find work for 2016. It also meant that MWR’s two drivers – Clint Bowyer and David Ragan – would have to move on. While Bowyer has landed with HScott Motorsports for 2016 and will replace Tony Stewart at Stewart-Haas Racing in 2017, Ragan’s plans had yet to be announced as of press time. Others…

Kyle Busch Wins 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship

Overcomes Injury, Celebrates Walk-Off Win in Miami DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 22, 2015) – Only nine months removed from suffering a broken right leg and left foot in an accident at Daytona, Kyle Busch won at Homestead-Miami Speedway to capture the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship.

After long journey to XFINITY title, Buescher gets to celebrate

Nov. 21, 2015 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service HOMESTEAD, Fla. – As it turned out, the final step in Chris Buescher’s march to the NASCAR XFINITY Series championship was almost pedestrian. None of his closest pursuers could mount a serious challenge for the victory in Saturday’s Ford EcoBoost 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. In fact, Buescher, title runner-up Chase Elliott and fellow contenders Ty Dillon and Regan Smith all went a lap down to race winner Kyle Larson during a long green-flag run in the middle of the race. Ultimately, Buescher got a free pass back to the lead lap and finished…

Erik Jones continues rapid climb with Camping World Truck Series championship

Nov. 20, 2015 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service HOMESTEAD, Fla. – With the 2015 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series title now in Erik Jones’ rear-view mirror, the immediate question becomes “What’s next for the 19-year-old prodigy?” With a relatively nondescript, problem-free sixth-place finish in Friday night’s Ford EcoBoost 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Jones secured the series driver’s championship, as well as the owner’s title for Kyle Busch Motorsports. Discovered by Busch when he beat his future car owner as a 16-year-old in the Snowball Derby for Super Late Models, Jones delivered the championship after running two part-time seasons for KBM. “I…

Homestead Preview: A Champ Will Be Crowned

By Jared Turner It’s all come down to this. For just the second time in NASCAR history, a winner-take-all finale will decide the season champion for the Sprint Cup Series. As the four lone survivors from the original 16 Chase drivers, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. will do battle for all the marbles on Sunday afternoon at Homestead-Miami Speedway in South Florida. With the Chase standings now reset, no bonus points available at Homestead, and all four finalists entering the race with equal points, the first driver to cross the finish line will be the 2015 champion.…
