I’m Just Sayin’: Kudos to Busch For Being Good Teammate

By Jared Turner After getting knocked out of the way by teammate Carl Edwards on the last lap of Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400, Kyle Busch had every reason to be miffed and even downright mad. But if Busch was ticked at his teammate, he did a really good job of hiding it. Asked about the last-lap contact, the reigning Sprint Cup Series champion all but avoided the question, instead praising his team and the speed in his No. 18 Toyota. It was classy move for a driver who as recently as a few weeks ago threw an all-out temper tantrum and even…

Edwards bumps teammate Kyle Busch to win at Richmond

April 24, 2016 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service RICHMOND, Va. – The honeymoon at Joe Gibbs Racing may be over. Yes, on Sunday at Richmond International Raceway, Carl Edwards won his second straight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in the Toyota Owners 400 and the fourth in a row for JGR, but he did so with a last-lap bump-and-run on teammate Kyle Busch, who was seeking his third victory in four events. “We did everything right – be smart,” Busch was told on his radio, after Edwards moved the No. 18 Toyota up the track in Turns 3 and 4 and…

Richmond Preview: Joe Gibbs Racing Is Dominating

By Jared Turner As the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Richmond International Raceway for Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400, there’s one lingering question on just about everybody’s mind: Can Joe Gibbs Racing be stopped? With Carl Edwards’ dominant victory last Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway, JGR drivers have reeled off three consecutive wins and gone to Victory Lane in four of the season’s first eight Sprint Cup races. In addition, JGR drivers have won four of the season’s eight poles and hold down three of the top nine positions in the standings. RIR, a three-quarter mile D-shaped facility, is arguably JGR’s best…

I’m Just Sayin’: Richmond Should Scrap Night Racing

By Jared Turner Although Richmond’s spring race was pushed back from Saturday night to Sunday afternoon last year because of rain, this weekend will mark the first time in many years that the three-quarter mile short track is scheduled to host a Sprint Cup event on a Sunday afternoon. So is the change in schedule a good one or a bad one? Fans and drivers love Saturday night racing because it harkens back to NASCAR’s short-track roots on bullrings around the Southeast. Drivers also love Saturday night racing because it gives them a rare Sunday at home. Even though naysayers argue that…
