CONCORD, N.C. - Kasey Kahne powered to victory in the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night, winning NASCAR's longest race for the third time for his first win with Hendrick Motorsports.
YOU'RE A NASCAR fan who has attended races at Pocono and Dover. Oval racing is your passion. Why then should you be interested in the Grand-Am Rolex series races at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville this weekend?
PERHAPS Tony Stewart should change his nickname from "Smoke" to "Sizzle."
Stewart has won two of the season's first five Sprint Cup races. Combine his five victories in the 10 Chase races last year and he has seven W's in his last 15 races. That's sizzling! So much for concerns about his adjusting to new crew chief Steve Addington.
WHEN I HEARD yesterday that Dr. Joseph Mattioli had died at age 86, I started thinking about our relationship. I began covering races at Pocono Raceway in the early 1970s. Back then Indy cars were the big show at Pocono, with Mario Andretti, A.J. Foyt and the Unser brothers attracting crowds of almost 100,000.
TWO RACERS, separated by only three points, going all out in the season finale for the NASCAR Chase championship. It's Game 7 with the two best teams facing off.
