Kvapil fails to qualify at Bristol

Sunday, he didn’t allow anyone more than a sniff of a chance. Led race-high 184 laps in spring race.

“We want to honor Jeff for his contribution to our sport, and we look forward to his continued presence in the industry”, said Caldwell.

Over the years, Earnhardt feels lucky to have formed friendships with some of the greatest drivers of that earlier era.

Kevin Harvick had the sixth fastest lap (129.334) in the final practice and seventh fastest in the early session. Today’s race has a prime-time starting time and airs on a TV channel that some fans may not be able to locate on the dial, but is also being made available as a live stream online option. He also took the checkered flag there in 2007 and 2010, and swept the track in 2009. Then Dillon tried a couple times to move in front on the inside, but Kenseth was able to hold on.

Kenseth won the April race to give him four for his career. Kenseth ran nearly the flawless race. You can keep an eye on what they’re doing to get better.

I’m not going to recommend a wager on Ricky Stenhouse Jr.at 100-to-1 odds, but I couldn’t fault anyone for taking a shot with him in match-ups or the daily fantasy stuff. “I wish we could have done that for about 20 more”. Honestly, the toughest one was with [Dillon].

Drivers contended with heat on the hot day at Michigan.

Gordon is driving a rainbow paint scheme very similar to the iconic one he drove in the 1990s. Gordon was 17th. Gordon’s gaudy loop statistics at BMS include the second-highest average running position (9.954) and driver rating (100.3) at the track. I just try not to get so far out there that I can’t come back. When Logano returned this April, he started sixth, but finished 42nd after colliding with teammate Brad Keselowski on Lap 19. Bad days happen, and Johnson has his multiple wins. Harvick hasn’t won at Bristol since 2005 under the old single-groove layout, but the chassis he’s using this week has great pedigree. Harvick, who ran out of fuel while trying to stretch his mileage and was in 12th place with 80 laps to go, proved that it was possible to advance through the pack and make some passes with the high downforce package.

Jimmie Johnson: Uncharacteristic mistakes (missing pit stall, spin in Turn 4) led to 39th-place finish at Michigan.
