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 →

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 →

The big news out of Thursday’s test day at Texas Motor Speedway is that Chip Ganassi could be selling his Sprint Cup team to a Menard. That is John Menard, a long-time racer and supporter in the Sprint Cup Series.

It is no secret that Earnhardt Ganassi Racing has struggled in recent years. Juan Pablo Montoya’s top-ten last week at Martinsville was his first since June of last season at Michigan. Neither Jamie McMurray or JPM have battled for wins since 2010 when McMurray won the Daytona 500 and at Indianapolis. The last time an EGR team made the Chase was in 2009 with JPM. Continue reading →
