Interesting mixture of objectives in Cup garage

October 31 2009

After this weekend's showdown at Talladega Superspeedway, a track eyed cautiously by all involved in Sunday's Amp Energy 500, it will be interesting to see what happens with those teams that aren't contending for the championship - both those in the Chase For The Sprint Cup but deep in points and those immediately outside of it.

August 6 2009

July 28 2009

Kevin Harvick may or may not be talking about his future internally at Richard Childress Racing. He may or may not have unearthed something that is helping his team improve. But he indisputably is on target as a team owner.
