Another NASCAR Owner Joins Roush In Calling For Spending Cap, Luxury Tax
NASCAR is in need of some fresh ideas, and one person up to the task. The 2017 season has been of uncharacteristic parody for the sport. Heading into Sunday’s race at Watkins Glenn International, 11 different drivers and nine different teams have entered victory lane. But this surely won’t last, and NASCAR must to something to level the playing field. The answer, according to one owner, could be a spending cap. “Every single league has a cap now these days, it creates a level playing field,” Richard Petty Motorsports co-owner Andrew Murstein recently told NBC Sports. “It’s salaries … it’s wind-tunnel time, its the whole kit and ca...

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Ready To Celebrate Daytona Win At July Fourth Cookout
Share this: Racing drivers always say their first win was the hardest, and they come easy after that. Well, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. sure made it seem that way when he picked up his second Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series win on Saturday. Stenhouse passed David Ragan for the lead with two laps remaining in the Coke Zero 400 Powered by Coca-Cola, and stayed there until the checkered flag flew. The win is his second Cup victory, and his first at Daytona Internationals Speedway, so Stenhouse was glad he already had a party planned. During his victory lane interview, Stenhouse told NBC Sports, “I already had a Fourth of July party planned, but I guess it just got bigger.” The 29-year-old Roush Fenway Racing driver
Vermont Governor’s Season Racing Debut Goes Off Track, Ends In Ditch
Share this: Phill Scott’s race for Vermont governor ended in victory lane. His season racing debut at Thunder Road International SpeedBowl, though, ended in a ditch. With just a few laps to go in the 55th Memorial Day Classic in Barre, Vt., Scott’s No. 14 Late Model stock car was bumped by another car, then scraped the wall and went off track, WCAX-TV reports.

Scott is the United States’ only sitting governor to race stock cars, according to WCAX-TV. More Stories Source link
NASCAR Fans Get ‘Rowdy,’ Rip Kyle Busch For Driving In Truck Series
NASCAR’s National series are intended to help young, up-and-coming drivers develop their skills with hopes of one day making the jump to the highest level. It might be hard these drivers to have success, though, if one of the top racers on the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series is always coming down to hog victory lane. We’re talking, of course, about Kyle Busch. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has no wins on the Cup level this season, but has taken a checkered flag in the both Xfinity Series and, after his performance at Kansas Speedway on Friday, the Camping World Truck Series. But Busch’s victory in the Toyota Tundra 250 didn’t exactly sit
Why Security Questioned Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s Dad After Son’s First Win
Share this: Ricky Stenhouse Sr. has a habit of climbing catch fences. The father of NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has taken that shortcut to victory lane before after his son’s racing wins in lower series, but when his scaling attempt was thwarted on Sunday, things got interesting for him at Talladega Superspeedway. And by “interesting” we mean he was temporarily detained while his son celebrated the No. 17 team’s victory in the GEICO 500. [embedded content] “Somebody stole his golf cart last night, I think, for one thing, so he was worried about that,” Stenhouse Jr. told reporters, laughing. “I told him we’ll get him another one. Then, I don’t have the full story, (but) he got escorted to victory lane, though, by troopers.” Roush
