It was quite a weekend for the Busch brothers at Richmond International Speedway.   Kurt Busch won Friday night's Nationwide race driving a car owned by his younger brother Kyle, then on Saturday night Kyle beat Tony Stewart out of the pits during a late caution to win the spring Sprint Cup race at Richmond for the fourth straight year and his first win this season.

Tony Stewart chalked up his second victory of the season when rain brought Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Auto Club Speedway in California to an early end. Stewart passed Kyle Busch on the 85th lap, and he led when rain finally stopped the race that up to that point hadn’t had a single caution period.

Defending Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart had the best car and he proved it on a restart with 30 laps left when he took the lead by dipping past the front row leaders from the second row and held off Jimmy Johnson on 3 more restarts to win yesterday’s race at Las Vegas.  It’s Ste...

All three of NASCAR’s national touring series championships  will be  decided this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway.   And there’s none closer than the Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday.  Just three points separate Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart. Edwards and Stewart are the only drivers s...

Just three points separates Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart entering the final two races in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. After finishing seventh at Talladega and then winning at Martinsville and Texas, Stewart has gained 21 points on Edwards in the last three races. And Stewart will be looking to continue the momentum Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway.

Two races left in the Chase for the Sprint Cup and it look's like it might go down to the final lap of the final race.  Tony Stewart won again yesterday at Texas Motor Speedway giving him four victories in the eight races so far in the Chase.  St...

It’s a triple-header weekend at Texas Motor Speedway including the eighth race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. The trucks run tonight, Nationwide goes tomorrow and the Sprint Cup race is on Sunday and it’s looking like it’ll be a two-man battle for the title. Tony Stewart has won three of the first seven races in the Chase so far including last week at Martinsville. Combined with

Seven races down in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship and Tony Stewart has won three of them.  Five-time defending Cup champion Jimmie Johnson was in the lead with 3 laps to go yesterday at Martinville, but Stewart passed Johnson on a restart and held on during the final lap to move up two spots in the Chase standings to second place with three races left. Johnson settled for second and sh

It’s been a long time coming but Jimmie Johnson is back in the win column after holding off Kasey Kahne in a green, white, checkered finish at Kansas Speedway.  Johnson dominated the race leading 197 laps for his 55th career victory.  But it came down to those final two laps after Jeff Gordon’s engine blew up.  Johnson stayed on the track with old tires and was still able to hold off Kahne and Bra

After 3 races, the Chase for the Sprint Cup is tight as the series moves to the heartland of America for the fourth race in the Chase.  Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards share the points lead, with the next seven drivers all within 19 points of the lead heading to Kansas Speedway.

Can he make it three in a row? After going winless in the first 26 races of the season, Tony Stewart has started the Chase for the Sprint Cup with back to back victories. Just a month ago there was some doubt whether Tony would even make the 12-driver field for the championship. He even wrote himself off after an awful race at Bristol August 27th, but boy he's been on fire since then with top-seve

When it matters the most, Tony Stewart is two for two.  After going winless up until last week's Chase for the Sprint Cup opener at Chicagoland Speedway, Stewart won for the second week in a row, this time at New Hampshire.  Stewart took the lead when Clint Bowyer ran out of gas with two laps to go.  It was almost the exact reverse of what happened last year when Stewart ran out of gas with one la
