Joey Logano held off a fast-closing Kevin Harvick to win Saturday’s Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

He’ll start 40th tomorrow, and given the nature of the half-mile Bristol circuit, he could be a lap down well before the end of the first stint. Hamlin has had inconsistent Bristol performances over his career, but he is a one-time victor at the Tennessee short track. On...

A five-time victor at Sonoma and four-time victor at Watkins Glen global, Gordon is NASCAR’s leader in road course wins heading into Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at The Glen.

AJ Allmendinger drives during qualifying for today’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen global in Watkins Glen, New York Allmendinger won the pole position.

He is also referred to as the “Rushville Rocket”, “Tony the Tiger”, “The Columbus Comet” and “Big Orange”. There was no comment from Stewart, who was with his crew in the garage before a final practice Friday afternoon. He would do...

The fact of the matter is if Kevin Ward Jr. didn’t come down on the track that was active, Kevin Ward Jr. would be racing a sprint vehicle tomorrow night and Tony Stewart wouldn’t be replaying that tragedy everyday.
