This weekend NASCAR visits one of two road courses on the Sprint Cup Series circuit.

This weekend is all about road racing for NASCAR. The Sprint Cup Series and the Nationwide Series are both at road courses. And if you want to learn more about road racing, Sunday's local Road Racing 101 presentation at the Saratoga Automobile Museum is for you.

We are down to two drivers in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship - Brad Keselowski and Jimmie Johnson.  Everyone else has been eliminated from contention.  But will happen after last week's intentional wrecking, fighting in the pits, blown tire racing melee at Phoenix?

The 2012 NASCAR season is rapidly coming to a close.  There are just two races left in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Series Championship.  This weekend the teams have headed west to Phoenix International Raceway.  In Friday's qualifying, a new track record was set.

By gaining maximum points last week at Martinsville Jimmie Johnson has taken the points lead in the chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship.  On Friday he won the pole starting spot for the second week in a row.  Now Johnson and Lowes team are in position to control their own destiny over the final three races of the season.

Mr. "5-Time" Jimmie Johnson won the pole starting position in qualifying for tonight's Quaker State 400 NASCAR race at Kentucky Speedway.
