Last spring, Joey Logano wrangled in the competition at Texas Motor Speedway and two-stepped into Victory Lane.
The 24-year-old Team Penske driver will attempt to repeat his spring Lone Star Statement, a feat no driver has ever accomplished, in Sunday’s Duck Commander 500. Continue reading →

After Sunday’s Auto Club 400, there may be a warrant issued for Brad Keselowski.
After all, the driver of the No. 2 Team Penske Ford committed his own version of “Grand Theft Auto” at Auto Club Speedway—he stole an entire race.
Benefitting from a four-tire call on the last lap of regulation and two opportune cautions that extended the event nine laps beyond its scheduled distance, Keselowski passed polesitter Kurt Busch on the final lap (209) and pulled away to win his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race of the season.
Here are my picks for the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway, on March 22, at 3:30 pm ET on FOX
Contenders
Kurt Busch– Jamie McMurray said it best on twitter in saying,
“The 41 and 4 are in another league right now”.
After a strong showing last week Kurt is on the right track and has been fast all weekend. Look for him and teammate Kevin Harvick to battle it out this weekend.
Kyle Larson– Larson is a guy who can find speed by being able to race two grooves and adjust throughout the race. Winning is first Xfinity series race here last year, wouldn’t it be something to see him pull his first Sprint Cup race a year later?
Ryan Reed and Chris Buescher’s performance on NASCAR’s biggest stage was incomparable. Their 1-2 finish puts the spotlight squarely on the young Roush Fenway Racing drivers as the series heads to Atlanta Motor Speedway.
At 21 years of age, Reed not only has all the attributes of a young superstar, but also the qualities to be an inspiration for young people with health challenges all over the world. Four years ago Reed was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and was told by doctors he would never race again. Through perseverance and a very stringent diet and lifestyle he was able to work his way back to competition and ultimately win at Daytona International Speedway. Continue reading →
