Austin Dillon, grandson of Richard Childress and driver of the famed no. 3 car in the Camping World East Series, currently sits in first place in the points standings. In just his first year in the series, after four starts, Austin has already accumulated a win, 2 top-five’s, and 3 top-ten finishes. His lone victory came in the opening race at Greenville Pickens Speedway back in April, and he also finished 2nd at South Boston Speedway in May.

For those of you that have had yourselves so engrossed with the notion of Austin Dillon one day making it to the Cup Series level to run the Richard Childress Racing number 3 car that was formerly run by racing great, Dale Earnhardt, you may be unaware that yet another relative of a long-time car owner at the Cup Series level has embarked on his journey to future stardome through the ARCA/Re Maxx Series.

This week, I’ve decided to compile a list of the top-ten future potential stars in NASCAR. The basis for this list isn’t based purely on driving skill, but also on other aspects that can contribute to their future success such as their organization, or even gender.

8. Brad Keselowski – 24 years-old, …read more

Peyton Sellers won the season-opening Camping World East Series event this past weekend at Greenville-Pickens Speedway in Easley, SC for Andy Santerre Motorsports. Following the race, however, NASCAR officials found that the 16-year-old’s car was in possession of an illegal shock, and NASCAR in turn stripped him of his victory. This is the first time in recent memory that I believe NASCAR has stripped a driver in any series of a win for any rules infraction, but the team definitely feels like they’re being made an example of.
Santerre said to reporters, “Needless to say we are shocked and disappointed. We …read more

A few months ago, I told you all to keep your eyes out for the possible re-emergence of the no. 3 car in NASCAR, and it seems as though that day may be sooner than expected. As any racing fan already knows, the no. 3 car was retired from Richard Childress Racing following the untimely death of Dale Earnhardt Sr. back in 2001, and that car number has resurfaced on only a handful of occasions. Dale Earnhardt Jr. ran the number for a few races in the [then] Busch Series back in 2002 and 2003, and the Intimidator’s …read more
