When the Kansas Speedway reconfigured their track surface, before last October’s race, they created a track that could feature some action-packed and intense racing. Drivers attempted to figure-out their way around the new surface of the mile-and-a-half track last October, and left with some knowledge and mainly torn up sheet-metal. The race featured multiple incidents and  went down in the history books as one of the most exciting races in the history of the Kansas Speedway. Fans are hoping for a repeat performance when NASCAR’s Generation Six cars take to the track this weekend and they likely won’t be disappointed. Continue reading →

A fast, new and wide surface at the Kansas Speedway will be put to the test as the Camping World Truck Series take to the reconfigured track for the first time, this weekend.

Last October in the Sprint Cup event, we saw action-packed racing during their first time on the reconfigured surface and this Saturday afternoon will be the trucks turn to take to the mile-and-a-half track. The teams’ notebooks will essentially be thrown out the window while they prepare for the race since this surface is a whole new animal. Continue reading →

To say Kyle Larson had a good day would be the biggest understatement so far this year. Larson had a phenomenal day where he led over half of the laps in the race and was able to hold off various drivers for the lead throughout the afternoon. He had never raced a lap in a truck at the Rockingham Speedway until this weekend; and by the end of a race, he looked like he had raced at the Rock all of his life. Besides this win being Larson’s first Truck win, this was his first victory in any of the top levels of NASCAR. Kyle Larson put on a pure dominant performance at the Rock. Continue reading →

The hot-start Kyle Busch is off to this season just keeps getting better. The season isn’t even two months old and Busch has six wins combined, in NASCAR’s top-three series’.

Busch returned to victory lane on Saturday Night when he dominated the race and remained up front throughout the night. A late restart allowed Busch’s crew to get him back out front and then he held off Martin Truex Jr. and cruised to the finish. If it wasn’t for the last caution with 21 laps to go, Martin Truex Jr. would have likely ended up in victory lane since he dominated most of the second half of the race. Determined to win his 300th Sprint Cup start, Busch  knew he couldn’t let that happen. Continue reading →

In another impressive Nationwide Series performance, Kyle Busch is back in victory lane for the third straight race. Busch has been on a roll so far this season and four wins in six races isn’t too bad. He managed to stay out front all night and was there to take the checkered flag when it fell. Although lots of big-time Cup Drivers were in the race, Kyle  Busch was the best of all and that put him in victory lane at the end of the night. Continue reading →
