With NASCAR's regular season coming to an end tonight at Richmond International Raceway we'll know the list of drivers who will be eligible to compete for this year's Championship.
I always look forward to NASCAR's visits to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway since it is one of the closest stops that the Sprint Cup Series makes to our area.
So far so good for Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Kentucky Speedway. Junior won the pole Friday evening by setting a new track record in qualifying for tonight's Quaker Oil 400 Sprint Cup Series race.
