Greg Biffle, yes the points leader, enters Darlington with two career wins and five Top 5′s to his name. Greg has appeared in 11 races at the 1.366 mile round track, picking up wins in the May races in 2005 and 2006. Actually, the lone time Greg started on the pole at Darlington, he winded [...]
What a race. A great one at that, but it’s a damn shame so many competitive drivers had to wreck there at the end. Who am I kidding, that was Talladega racing boys! In the end, the driver of the #2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger delivered when it counted. The victory for Brad was his second at [...]
It has been awhile for #24. Jeff Gordon last won a race at Atlanta in September of last year. In 38 races (Yeah, he’s old) at ‘Dega, Gordon has 6 wins, 4 of which have come in the Spring race. Coincidentally, Jeff’s last pole came here, April 17th, 2011 at Talledega. Gordon would go on to [...]
At the age of 27, Kyle Busch has 105 combined wins in NASCAR’s top three series (24 in the Spring cup series, 51 in the Nationwide Series, and 30 in the Camping World Truck Series) . The best part, it leads all active drivers. Just incredible. The next closest: Martin with 96, and Harvick with 69. [...]

Okay, so let’s fast forward to 15 laps to go. Tony Stewart, defending Series Champ, driver of the 14 Mobile 1 car, is leading the race. He’s just cruising along, making his way through lap-traffic, basically just having some fun and waiting for the checkers to drop. When we get down to 12 laps to go, [...]
Exactly 31 years after his first career pole at Richmond, Martin collects his fifth at Richmond. You know you are old when you have 53 career poles, or maybe just a great driver. Well, in this case, Mark Martin is pretty much both. The #55 Aaron’s Dream Machine Toyota Camry for Michael Waltrip Racing has averaged a [...]
1: Greg Biffle Let’s face it, Biffle is off to his best start ever. He has been the exquisite definition of consistency, racking up an eye-popping 5 Top 5′s through the first 8 races, including his win at Texas Motor Speedway. No. 16 continues to dominate on paper as well as on the track, as he STILL leads in [...]
