Annual Media Vote Picks Johnson to Win it All in 2013

2013-Jimmie-Johnson-NASCAR-Sprint-Cup-Series-head-shotAustin Dillon, James Buescher Nab Most Votes In Their Respective Series

Better safe than sorry. That may have been the mindset of voters in the annual preseason NASCAR Media poll that tapped five-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson as the favorite to win the 2013 title.

Despite a two-year championship drought – an eternity for the El Cajon, Calif. native – Johnson has qualified for the “postseason” Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup in each of its nine seasons. His 22 Chase wins are more than any other driver.

So, as they say, you have to be in it to win it. Continue reading

A 360 degree turn-around occurred for Johnny Sauter at Daytona Friday night. Last year, Sauter was leading during after a restart and he was involved in a wreck. This year, Sauter pulled into victory lane after the race ended under caution due to a wreck. What a difference a year makes. Sauter celebrated in victory lane while many drivers will shake their heads and wonder what they could have, would have and should have done.

The Truck Series NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona started out pretty dicey when drivers attempted to make early moves. Luckily for the drivers, none of those early moves resulted in a wreck. Justin Lofton led the race early before being passed by Ty Dillon on lap seven. The first caution didn’t come out until the one-fourth mark of the race when debris was spotted on the track. The next caution came just after halfway and it was the big one. Continue reading

CE Falk was recently thrust into the spotlight this past week, but not in the way he anticipated while leading the Whelen All-American Series race as part of the UNOH Battle at the Beach on Monday night. With some hard racing in the final lap of the race, he was the recipient of a bump ‘n run move followed by a controversial spin by race winner Kyle Larson.

Following the race and despite the disappointing loss, CE Falk handled the incident well, but knew he had just cashed out the expense of a damaged car versus cashing in with another well-earned victory for him and his team. Continue reading
