Cup Series

Maybe it’s not always the best idea to take your weekend inspiration from the company name of your sponsor. Daniel Suarez‘s No. 41 Ford Mustang was sponsored by Ruckus Networks this weekend, and Suarez certainly raised a ruckus at ISM Raceway during the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series’ TicketGuardian 500. …

ISM Raceway brought additional power and higher speeds (as compared to normal). It also brought yet another Kyle Busch sweep.  It was noted on FOX’s broadcast Sunday that this is the 12th time that Busch has swept a weekend (two of those being three-race sweeps).  It seems like more than …

Discussion as to whether last week’s Vegas Cup race was a good one or a poor one did something that the race itself failed to do. It evoked passion. As we discussed last week the hype about the (one of the new) race packages might have had some of our …

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series closes out the West Coast Swing this Sunday (March 17) at Auto Club Speedway. 38 machines will take the green flag this Sunday. Joey Gase will pull double duty this weekend and drive the MBM Motorsports No. 66 with the same backing he had …

Who… should you be talking about after the race? Kyle Busch had the best car in the field when he really needed it and was finally able to capitalize on that in 2019, winning his first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race of the season after running down Ryan Blaney in …

The Headline(s): After a protracted green flag run, Kyle Busch’s four tires proved better over a long run than Ryan Blaney’s two, allowing the No. 18 to take the lead for good on lap 296 and drive off into the Arizona sunset at ISM Raceway. Congratulations to Cup driver Kyle …

Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series: Championship 4 Right On Course This weekend was all about Kyle Busch. Last weekend was reigning Cup champion Joey Logano’s time to shine. Nine-time ISM Raceway winner Kevin Harvick ran ninth at the track; his worst finish there in six years, that’s how good he’s …

Kyle Busch is one win away from making history. Busch captured his 199th race in NASCAR’s top three series, finishing off a weekend sweep with a 1.2-second win in Sunday’s (March 10) TicketGuardian 500. Busch took control during the final stretch at ISM Raceway, passing Ryan Blaney with 17 laps …
