We won't know who will be the NASCAR Sprint Cup champion until after Sunday's race but one thing is certain - the champ will be someone who has never won the title before.
NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series comes closer to our area this weekend with the running of the Pocono 400 at the track known as the tricky triangle in Pennsylvania.
This week the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams head out to Fontana, California to the Auto Club Speedway which was the scene of one of last year's best races. Unfortunately, it was also one of the worst for Denny Hamlin as a last lap crash sidelined him for four weeks ruining his season.
Rain impacted the running of this year's Daytona 500 and it could happen again Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee as another winter storm is expected to come in from the Midwest to the Middle Atlantic states.
Defending NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Brad Keselowski probably would like to forget the month of May. After several disappointing performances over the last few weeks, he heads into Sunday's FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks at Dover International Speedway looking for a big rebound.
Driver Denny Hamlin will miss at least six weeks of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series circuit after suffering fractured vertebra in a crash on the last lap of Sunday's race at Fontana, California.
Nascar has definitely been making a statement both on and off the track this year. If you have been following the races so far, you have no doubt also been seeing the commercials stating that "anything can happen , and usually does". The latest commercials touting "Rivals" and as of late Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin definitely fall into that category.
