Kentucky Speedway announces changes for 2016

Kentucky Speedway announced Tuesday that it will undertake a multiple-point renovation of its 1.5-mile track, including a full repave, increased banking in Turns 1 and 2 and more energy-absorbing SAFER barrier.

The repaving project will mark the first new asphalt for Kentucky Speedway since it opened with a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event in 2000.

Reflections From 2015: Lessons Learned

Kevin Harvick Will Do Whatever It Takes To Win We knew long before 2015 that Kevin Harvick – whose nickname is “The Closer” – was one of NASCAR’s most tenacious, talented and determined drivers. What we didn’t know was that Harvick will stop at literally nothing – including manipulating the outcome of a race – to keep his championship hopes alive. With his car’s engine going sour late in the Chase elimination race at Talladega, Harvick took matters into his own hands by wrecking Trevor Bayne and triggering a caution that was his only hope of making it to the next round.…

Year in Review: 5 Lessons Learned in 2015

5. Danica Knows How To Woo Sponsors When GoDaddy announced early in the 2015 season that it would not return as Danica Patrick’s primary sponsor in 2016, questions about the Stewart-Haas Racing driver’s future in NASCAR ratcheted up in a hurry. In the final year of a three-year contract with SHR and with no primary sponsor in place for beyond 2015, Patrick faced the real possibility of being out of a ride. But now with a new multi-year contract and three primary sponsors sharing the load, the Sprint Cup Series’ only female driver is secure not only for 2016 but for several…

Youth Movement: Teenager Erik Jones Wins Truck Series Championship

By Aaron Burns It’s easy to forget that Erik Jones doesn’t turn 20 until next May. Jones has been a part of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for three years, and he’s been a mainstay at the front. But Jones’ run to the Truck Series title did more than confirm his legitimacy as a top driver. Jones also became the youngest champion in the Truck Series’ 20-year history on Nov. 20. Five poles, three wins, 11 top-fives and an incredible 20 top-10 finishes in 23 races staked Jones’ claim to a historic championship. Consistency was what pushed Jones ahead of two-time…
