The 58th Daytona 500 belonged to Toyota with Joe Gibbs Racing and now teams are heading to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the Folds of Honor Quik Trip 500 on Sunday.

Drivers competing with the Chevrolet bow tie showed some promise up front early at Daytona with four of their drivers finishing in the top-ten. The blue Ford oval put one driver in the top-ten and that was now former Daytona 500 champion, Joey Logano.

Ruling the World Center of Racing at Daytona was Toyota as the most successful manufacturer with three drivers from Joe Gibbs Racing finishing in the top-five. So, with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams heading into Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend, it makes sense that JGR drivers dominate the hottest drivers to watch list. Continue reading

Wasn’t it just yesterday that Jeff Gordon ran his last race at Homestead-Miami Speedway?

Last season we were watching Jeff Gordon as one of the last four drivers eligible to race for the Sprint Cup Series championship – many were hopeful he might finally win his fifth title. But, then the checkered flag waved and as the newly crowned champion, Kyle Busch celebrated his first title, Gordon and his family quietly left the track, closing the door on his drive for five, and moving on to a new horizon.

Gordon has been busy planning the next chapter of his career in the FOX broadcast booth and we were anxious for the season to begin to see him in his new role – off the track. The wait is over and we were ready for Gordon’s broadcast debut at Daytona International Speedway during Speedweeks.  Continue reading
