Does Kyle Larson have inside information on future plans for the No. 77 Furniture Row Racing Toyota?
With Erik Jones moving from Furniture Row Racing to Joe Gibbs Racing next season, the No. 77 is currently without a driver. And team owner Barney Visser has said the fate of the No. 77 is still to be determined, pending funding. Continue reading →
Joey Logano is a firm believer that his No. 22 Team Penske outfit is at its best with backs against the wall.

Kyle Busch can take a lot of positives from the Overton’s 301 at New Hampshire.
He led 95 laps, second only to Martin Truex Jr.’s 137. He won the second stage, earning his fifth playoff point of the season.

“I messed up a couple of times with getting the speeding penalties, and it pretty much cost us a chance for the win today,” Busch said. “It’s disappointing, but we’ll look forward to getting to Indianapolis next week.”
Next Sunday’s race at the Brickyard may be just the remedy Busch needs. He’s the two-time defending winner at the vaunted 2.5-mile track.
