Kyle Busch came to Martinsville Speedway this weekend with no grandfather clock trophies from the shortest and tightest of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series short tracks.

Joe Gibbs Racing’s Daniel Suárez is off to a strong start this season. He leads the NASCAR XFINITY Series championship standings by ten points over second-place Elliott Sadler after the first five races. Suárez’s start in the first five races, is better – and in most cases, far better – than those of the last five series title winners. Continue reading →
