Add another Penske driver to at least the next round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.  Joey Logano moved to the front 27 laps from the end, but had the best car and tires to survive a series of restarts and a green, white, checkered finish.  It...

Dale Earnhardt Jr. used to like restrictor-plate racing at Talladega, but after the big crash on Sunday he’s not especially thrilled about racing there anymore. After the race he said if they raced that way every week – he wouldn’t be doing it, he’d find another job.

Earlier in the week Denny Hamlin tweeted “We will win” and he backed it up with a dominating victory at New Hampshire in the second race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup. That was despite qualifying 32nd because his crew put the wrong air pressure in his tires. Pretty frustrating because he had the fastest car in both practice sessions.

The field is set for this year’s Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Clint Bowyer won Saturday night’s race at Richmond, but the bigger story was Jeff Gordon who drove himself into the final Chase wild card spot edging out Kyle Busch by three points.

Tony Stewart's first win of the season couldn't have come at a better time.  One day after rain washed out the scheduled Chase for the Nextel Cup opener at Chicagoland, Stewart ended a 32-race winless skid by conserving fuel over the final laps for his 40th career victory.  It ties...

For the first time since the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format began it’ll start at a track other than New Hampshire. The 10-week Chase begins this Sunday with a 400-mile race at the 1.5 mile Chicagoland Speedway.

The seedings are now set for the Chase for the Sprint Cup.  Kevin Harvick won Saturday night's 400 lap race at Richmond giving him four victories this season and that was good enough to put him into a tie with Kyle Busch atop the standings heading into the final 10 races of the season.  It was Harvick's first victory since May 29th at Charlotte and ended a nearly summer-long stretch of sub-par per
