Kyle Busch wins at Phoenix, as Championship 4 XFINITY field is set

Nov. 12, 2016 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service AVONDALE, Ariz. – It was just another routine Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway for Kyle Busch. But nothing else in the Ticket Galaxy 200 was at all ordinary. All the drama unfolded behind Busch, as eight drivers scrambled for four positions in the NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase’s Championship 4 Round at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Busch led 190 of 200 laps on the way to his 10th NASCAR XFINITY Series victory of the season, his 10th at the one-mile track and the 86th of his career, extending his own series record.

Daniel Suarez wins first Camping World Truck Series race as Chase final is set

Nov. 11, 2016 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service AVONDALE, Ariz. – William Byron’s bitter disappointment proved a boon for two of his Kyle Busch Motorsports teammates in Friday night’s Lucas Oil 150 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Phoenix International Raceway. When the engine in Byron’s No. 9 Toyota expired on Lap 141 of 150 – ending the championship run for the series’ most prolific winner this year – Kyle Busch Motorsports teammate Daniel Suarez took over the race lead and went on to score the first NCWTS victory of his career. Byron’s elimination from the inaugural Camping World Truck…

My First Ride: Matt DiBenedetto’s First Car Was a 2006 Ford Mustang

By Ben White Matt DiBenedetto, driver of the No. 93 BK Racing Toyota, needed a little help to get his first ride in 2007. When he turned 16 in July of 1991, he had just started a new part-time job and needed wheels to get to work. “I got a 2006 Ford Mustang," DiBenedetto said. "It was a just a regular old car. It looked cool but it was only a six-cylinder. It was black with silver stripes and I actually found it online. It looked cool partly because it was lowered. It had 19-inch wheels. It was actually a special package…

Milestone Moment: Jimmie Johnson’s 2007 Phoenix Win Led to a Championship

By Keith Waltz Jimmie Johnson took firm hold of his second consecutive NASCAR Cup Series championship on Nov. 11, 2007, by winning the Checker Auto Parts 500 at Phoenix International Raceway. The victory was Johnson’s fourth straight and 10th of the season, the most in both categories since Jeff Gordon won four in a row and notched 13 wins during his 1998 title season. Johnson needed only an 18th-place finish in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway to clinch the championship regardless of where title-rival Gordon ended up. “I’m just trying to keep it simple and not get caught up in things,” Johnson…

Phoenix Preview: Four of NASCAR’s Biggest Stars Will Have Dreams Dashed

By Jared Turner The deck is half full. With only this Sunday’s Chase elimination race at Phoenix International Raceway left to set the Championship 4, two drivers have already punched their proverbial tickets to be among the quartet of championship-eligible drivers in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. While Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards can catch their breath this weekend as a result of their wins at Martinsville and Phoenix the past two weekends, respectively, the six remaining Chase drivers will fight it out in one race for the two remaining slots in the winner-take-all finale in South Florida. Of the six…

Just Sayin’: The Feud Between Harvick and Dillon Is Gaining Steam

By Jared Turner The bad blood that has long existed between Kevin Harvick and the Dillon brothers lingers on. Remember the run-in between Harvick and Ty Dillon three years ago that prompted Harvick to level a “silver spoon” accusation against both Dillon boys – Ty and older brother Austin, the grandsons of legendary team owner Richard Childress? At the time, Harvick was a lame-duck driver at Richard Childress Racing and took issue with Childress grooming his grandsons to eventually become full-time Sprint Cup drivers for the organization (Austin is currently in his third year as a full-time Cup driver for RCR; Ty…
