Last week when Jeff Gordon announced that this year would be his last season as a full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver, a replacement was not yet announced. This week we found out who will drive the No. 24 in 2016.
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.
It seems more and more tempers have been overheating more than the engines on the NASCAR tracks lately and time and time again, there seems to be one common denominator, Brad Keslowski.
If any of the eight drivers still eligible to win NASCAR's 2014 Sprint Cup Series Championship had won last week at Martinsville, he would have locked into the final four drivers who will battle for the title in the final race of the year. But it didn't happen.
Although he's not in contention for the championship this season, Jamie McMurray set a qualifying track record to capture the pole for Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia.
Not only did 18-year old Ryan Blaney battle in the Camping World Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway today - he is also doing 'Dega double duty.
Talladega is now behind us and four more teams have been eliminated from the "Chase" for the Championship. One of the drivers eliminated was Kyle Busch who was actually in very good shape going into today's race at the super speedway, all he had to do was avoid a crash, he didn't.
