NASCAR Cup

Thanks to a brief but wild Kansas spring storm and the long delay it produced, Jimmie Johnson on Sunday became the first Sprint Cup driver to win a race on Mother’s Day since 2007.

So, when is 95 miles per hour scarier than 200 mph? For Clint Bowyer it was when a very, very hard baseball came at him at 95 as he stood in a batter’s box at Kauffman Stadium earlier this week.

Joey Logano strengthened his standing as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series’ 2015 Qualifying Meister on Friday night as he won the Coors Light Pole Award for Saturday night’s SpongeBob SquarePants 400 at Kansas Speedway.

Before he began trading paint in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, Clint Bowyer was a 23-year-old body shop worker at Emporia Motors in his hometown of Emporia, Kansas.

With the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series ready to head to Kansas Speedway this weekend, it's time to take one more look in the rearview mirror at the weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. raced to his first Talladega victory since 2004 and punched his ticket into the field for the Chase for the Sprint Cup in a commanding performance in Sunday’s Geico 500.

David Ragan’s tenure in the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota comes to an end with the GEICO 500 and he’ll be moving onto his third team in 11 races—“a little weird, for sure,” he acknowledged—when the Sprint Cup schedule resumes at Kansas Speedway on May 9.

Change the rules, change the format – but they can’t change history.

Saturday’s Coors Light Pole qualifying for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series GEICO 500 is the unveiling of still another new format for Talladega Superspeedway, and it meets with wide approval among drivers.

For a period of time, the words “Dale Earnhardt, Jr.,” “Talladega Superspeedway” and “Victory Lane” were synonymous.
