Richmond – Who’s Hot and Who’s Not

Richmond produced a wild finish this time last year. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was on a 71 race drought and within just 3 laps of a victory when he slammed into the wall in turn 3 after Kyle Busch slid up the track into his No. 88 as they both battled for the lead on lap [...]

In search of GO… 25 Hours of GO

The BFGoodrich® g-Force™ R1™ is a purpose-built track tire, designed for street-legal racing classes. Watch as teams push the R1 in North America’s longest endurance race – the 25 Hours of Thunderhill.

Drivers Shrug Off Pressure When Heading Home

This weekend, Denny Hamlin will try to break an 0-for-6 streak at Richmond International Raceway. A win at RIR is one the native of nearby Chesterfield, Va. wants more than any other – and he has come very close in the past.

Sims revisited: One step back is two steps forward at ‘Dega short track

Time flies when you are having fun. At the Talladega Short Track one year ago, the two-man crew of Mark Sims Racing, driver/son Mark and father/sponsor Charlie, had been within a couple of months of making their Crate Late Model debut. A lack of experience and funding, combined with the presence of NASCAR-affiliated race teams [...]
