By Jared Turner In a city world-famous for gambling and gamblers, don’t be surprised if some NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams roll the dice in this weekend’s Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Nothing would be more appropriate. Moreover, it wouldn’t be the first time. After locking up a berth in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup last season with a victory in the Daytona 500, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports team rolled into Vegas with literally nothing to lose.

Matt Crafton annihilates the field in Atlanta truck win

Feb. 28, 2015 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service HAMPTON, Ga.—There's no letup in Matt Crafton.

At the end of a 74-lap green flag run—the longest in NCWTS history at Atlanta—Crafton crossed the finish line 8.752 seconds ahead of runner-up Ty Dillon. Keystone Light Polesitter Ben Kennedy came home third, a distant 10.275 seconds behind the race winner. Daniel Suarez finished fourth, followed by…
