There are some days when a driver dominates and then there are some when a driver annihilates the field. Kevin Harvick had a stellar day in the desert on Sunday. Once he got out front early in the event, he didn’t look back for a second. He was able to control the race and at the end of the day, that put him in victory lane for the third time in the last four Phoenix races. His sponsor Jimmy John’s has the catch phrase “freaky-fast” which describes their service, but in this race it was describing the man behind the wheel. Continue reading →

TeamPenske

Following a very strong 2012 came a rather disappointing 2013 for Team Penske. Brad Keselowski wasn’t able to back his championship up as he didn’t even qualify for the Chase. Joey Logano came in and was most successful for the team, but he wasn’t able to save the championship from falling out of Team Penske’s hands. With 2013 behind Team Penske, they now have their eyes set on returning to winning ways in 2014. The opportunities are endless for the team as their young gun duo has the ability to be incredibly successful this season. Continue reading →

Looking back on 2013, NASCAR had a remarkable year. From storylines galore to scandals that challenged the sport’s credibility, NASCAR never stayed quiet.

Whatever went into this season, it made for one exciting year. The lesson learned throughout 2013 was to expect the unexpected because the year in NASCAR featured truly unexpected events.

A monster of a performance left Joey Logano in victory lane Saturday afternoon at Dover. Pit strategy filled the air throughout the day and Logano’s turned out to be the winning one.

Logano started on the pole and led until Kyle Busch took over the top spot on lap 19. A Brian Scott spin on lap 26 started the strategy frenzy. Most cars stayed out while some pitted under the yellow, but another caution less than ten laps later brought in most of the cars. Logano pitted under the second caution while Kyle Busch stayed out and remained the leader. Continue reading →
