PEAK Stock Car Dream Challenge winner Patrick Staropoli continues ‘living the dream’ as his great début performance last season in NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series West continues with a five race deal for 2014.

Sunoco Rookie of the Year Hopeful Shines in First NASCAR Sprint Cup Test of 2014

Richard Childress Racing is hitting the road running fast at Daytona to start off their 2014 season. Austin Dillon is bringing the No. 3 back to the Sprint Cup Series as he contends for Rookie of the Year honors.  He knows the pressure that comes along with racing the No. 3 car made famous by seven-time champion Dale Earnhardt.
