Jeb Burton qualified on the pole for the trucks.

Sprint Cup qualifying was rained out so Aric Afterburner got the pole since he was the fastest car in practice. Jeff Burton is on outside pole.

Truck race was orderly overall as Matt Crafton said his strategy was to ride around until the last 20 laps then go racing and that’s pretty much what happened. There were a few wrecks, including a 12-truck crash on the last lap that took out most of the front of the field. Johnny Sauter emerged victorious.

The best part of this weekend was having Darrell Waltrip in the booth instead of Petty Kyle. Unfortunately that trend did not continue through Race Day.

WooooHoooo Friday afternoon. Time for NASCAR coverage! Finally. I really miss the old days of Speed when we would have the pleasure of Truck or Nationwide coverage on Thursday.

NASCAR reviewed the actions that took place Saturday night during the final race of the regular season at Richmond and handed down penalties today. Clint Bowyer spun out after some weird radio chatter resulting in a restart which changed the complexion of the race. Martin Truex Jr. got into the Chase in a tiebreaker at the end of the event. After the penalties levelled tonight he was removed from the Chase and Ryan Newman is now in the Chase. Continue reading “NASCAR Sprint Cup Michael Waltrip Racing Penalties Post Richmond Race”
