Kyle Busch scores dominating NASCAR XFINITY win at Richmond

September 9, 2016 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service RICHMOND, Va. – With one ferociously fast pit stop, Kyle Busch erased a lackluster qualifying effort and cruised to victory in Friday night’s Virginia529 College Savings 250 at Richmond International Raceway. A master at getting on and off pit road in minimal time, Busch entered the pits in fourth place under the first caution of the race after a tap from J.J. Yeley sent Justin Marks spinning into the frontstretch grass on Lap 48. Busch was first off pit road—decisively—and at that point it was game over, thanks for playing, and Busch was…

Richmond Preview: The Regular-Season Finale Has High Stakes

By Jared  Turner It’s all come down to this. With one race remaining until the 16-driver Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup is locked in, 12 drivers have already punched their respective ticket into the 10-race playoff. That leaves four spots potentially up for grabs in Saturday night’s Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway, host of the 26th and final race of the Sprint Cup Series’ regular season. Following are the drivers locked into the Chase, all by virtue of having one or more wins so far in 2016: Team Penske’s Brad Keselowski, Joe Gibbs Racing’s Carl Edwards, JGR’s Kyle…

Just Sayin’: Uncertainty Lingers Over Dale Jr.’s Future

By Jared Turner Appearing at a press conference Sunday afternoon at Darlington Raceway just two days after his team announced he would miss the rest of the season, Dale Earnhardt Jr. admitted to not being physically up to the task of competing in that night’s race. Junior, of course, has been out of action since mid-July due to the lingering effects of a concussion suffered at Michigan International Speedway in June and then re-aggravated at Daytona on July 4 weekend. If you listened to Junior speak on Sunday, it was obvious that NASCAR’s 13-time most popular driver wants to return to his…

Opportunistic Truex gets win in Bojangles’ Southern 500

September 4, 2016 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service DARLINGTON, S.C. – Martin Truex Jr.’s luck changed. Kevin Harvick’s didn’t. And that was the difference in Truex’s unexpected victory in Sunday night’s Bojangles’ Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. Truex led 28 laps, all after passing Ryan Newman for the top spot on Lap 339 of 367. Harvick led a race-high 214 laps, bringing his career total to 10,068. But where Truex’s much-maligned pit crew performed its finest stop when it counted most—under caution on Lap 351—Harvick’s crew experienced the sorts of problems that have become chronic this season. Where Truex’s over-the-wall gang…
