NASCAR Cup

Never mind that Kurt Busch has three Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series victories at New Hampshire – and none at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Brad Keselowski blew the first and second corners on his money lap in Friday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series qualifying at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Then he blew away the rest of the field.

Already a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion, Kurt Busch added NASCAR's next piece of prestigious hardware to his trophy case when he won the Daytona 500 two weeks ago.

Speedway Motorsports President and CEO Marcus Smith announced Wednesday that Las Vegas Motor Speedway will host a second Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race in the fall beginning in 2018.

Chase Elliott spent much of Sunday’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 running in Kevin Harvick’s shadow. Elliott had a fast Chevrolet, as he proved conclusively after incurring a pit road speeding penalty on lap 212.

Brad Keselowski overcame a pair of setbacks on Sunday to score the victory in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

As Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series races played out at Atlanta Motor Speedway, there was one thing that became painfully obvious. The outside line is not the place to be on a restart.

It’s been almost a week since Chase Elliott had a near miss on his first career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series win in the Daytona 500, but that doesn’t mean the disappointment has faded.

Kevin Harvick saved the best for last. The 2014 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion turned in the fastest lap in the final round of qualifying, nabbing the pole for Sunday’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Georgia has been “peachy” to Hendrick Motorsports in recent memory. The four-car outfit owned by Rick Hendrick has won the last three races at Atlanta Motor Speedway behind the efforts of Kasey Kahne (2014) and Jimmie Johnson (2015-16).
