Both Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Hendrick Motorsports agree that if a crew chief change is coming for the No. 88, it will be in the offseason. Does another change need to be made, and if it does, who is the right guy to right Earnhardt’s ship?
Kansas City was a lot of fun. I went out there knowing that our mile-and-a-half program is a little hard on us. It was an action packed weekend for me. I was able to run my dirt car at Lakeside Speedway on Friday night and Saturday night also. We went out there like we always …
Off the racetrack, Kenny Wallace couldn’t be better, one of the sport’s leading analysts that keeps us all informed each weekend on SPEED’s NASCAR RaceDay. But on the track… it’s getting tougher and tougher for this 47-year-old to survive in a world where sponsorship is scarce. Now, his underdog Jay Robinson Racing team – who’s …
For all the tire strategy that made Saturday night’s Great Clips 300 both interesting and confusing (at one point Kevin Harvick had the entire field lapped after taking new tires under yellow while the rest of the leaders stayed out), it didn’t pave the way to victory lane.

Road America was a beautiful, beautiful racetrack. It was very well groomed, all the grass was cut and there was standing room only. I couldn’t believe how many people were all around that four-mile road course! I had never raced a 4-mile road course, and it was funny, because it took forever to get around. …
NASCAR’s policy of allowing unlimited bump drafting and letting drivers police themselves was put to the test at Daytona. Did it pass or fail based on the racing it produced?
Here we are in June already. So far this month, we raced at Nashville and Kentucky. At Nashville, it was cool because we had the same sponsor as the race on the car. Federated Auto Parts sponsored the race and our team. There were a lot of folks there from Federated and it was a …
ESPN’s David Newton reported Wednesday that Brian Vickers will be out of the No. 83 Red Bull Toyota for at least three months, with Casey Mears resuming driving duties again this weekend in the All-Star Race.
