I've grown up watching racing of some sort from midgets to Stock Cars since I was a child. I run the FB page Everything NASCAR but really want to explore my love of writing and racing together. I love both things so I decided to try combining them.
Paul Menard was in the right place at the right time Saturday afternoon and captured the win in the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet 250 at Michigan International Speedway. Menard took the lead with only four laps to go after race leader Joey Logano was forced to pit due to a cut tire. It was his second victory in the Nationwide Series, his first since June of 2006 when he won at Milwaukee.
Larson brought home the win in only his third start in the series. He became the 34th different driver to win at Pocono and the 17th different driver to win in the last 17 races. He is also the 5th different winner in the ARCA series this season.
This is the year of change in the NASCAR World. This year the No. 3 came back and fans have been, and still are, very vocal about that. We have the change to "The Chase" again with much talk and disagreement as to if it is a good thing or bad thing.
It was a great day for qualifying as several drivers broke the existing track record with Kevin Harvick taking home the bragging rights for beating them all as he picked up the Coors Light Pole Award for the Bojangles Southern 500.
Today is April 1st, a day that for many is a fun and prank filled day with friends. For some it is a sign that spring is right around the corner. However, for some long time NASCAR fans it’s bittersweet, as we remember a Champion, a friend and someone who we lost too soon, Alan Kulwicki.
When qualifying was all done, Kyle Busch scored his 14th Coors Light Pole Award with a lap of 18.998 seconds, 99.674 mph. It also marks the third straight pole for Joe Gibbs Racing.
Ask any fan what their favorite NASCAR track is and usually you will get multiple answers however, almost always, Bristol is on that list. Fans flock to Bristol, those that have been there cannot wait to get back, and for those that have never been there it's usually on their "bucket list".
Brennan Newberry's story started very similar to a lot of drivers, but Brennan himself wasn't the typical young aspiring driver. They lived in Bakersfield, California where his father drove late models, so Newberry as a young boy was around racing from the very start but at first he wasn't thinking about driving, he was more into showing off the car in the garage to his friends.
Matt Kenseth would win the first Budweiser Duel in a crazy three-wide dash to the finish, while Denny Hamlin won the second Budweiser Duel in a crash-filled finish.
Sunday afternoon most of us waited for one thing and one thing only and it wasn't about winning the pole for the Daytona 500. We waited with bated breath for the one thing fans have argued about for a while, the return of the No. 3.
