Austin Dillon saves fuel, wins XFINITY race at Fontana

March 19, 2016 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service FONTANA, Calif. – Seconds after crossing the finish line .715 seconds ahead of runner-up Kyle Busch, Austin Dillon summed up Saturday’s TreatMyClot.com 300 by Janssen in one short sentence. “I’d rather be lucky than good,” Dillon chortled on his team radio after ending evading Busch’s last-ditch attempt to pinch the winning No. 2 Chevrolet into the outside wall at Auto Club Speedway.

By Jared Turner The JGR train continues While Joe Gibbs Racing’s Carl Edwards losing to Kevin Harvick by a margin of just .01 seconds at the finish line was a tough defeat for JGR to swallow in the Good Sam 500, it was still a terrific day overall for the organization at Phoenix International Raceway as JGR’s Edwards, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch finished 2-3-4, respectively. With four races in the books this season, JGR has three drivers in the top six in Sprint Cup Series points.

Harvick holds off Edwards at Phoenix — by inches

Mar. 13, 2016 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service AVONDALE, Ariz. – In recent years, Kevin Harvick has exercised his dominance at Phoenix International Raceway by crushing the competition. In Sunday’s Good Sam 500 at the one-mile track in the Sonoran Desert, he maintained his mastery by a matter of inches, banging fenders with Carl Edwards in a side-by side overtime battle on the way to the finish line. After the drivers traded shots on the way to the stripe, Harvick pulled ahead to win the fourth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race of the season by .010 seconds (roughly four inches), the…
