The NASCAR history books will have to be re-written after Saturday’s Toyota Tundra 200 held on the iconic pavement of NASCAR’s Nashville venue outside of Gladeville, Tennessee. Ron Hornaday pulled up along side some famous company in the record books after his win on this sunny Saturday afternoon. This win makes him the third racer in NASCAR history to drive to victory in five consecutive competitions in the national series and the first to accomplish this feat in 38 years of continuous racing on the race tracks of North America.
Hornaday is standing front grill to front grill with Richard Petty …read more

The start flag will drop Sunday on a race track that owner Richard Petty is the current title holder for the most wins, the Goody’s Fast Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway. A record that could be in jeopardy if Rick Hendrick continues its record of running hard and fast on the oval of Martinsville Speedway. Rick Hendrick and drivers, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon, have won nine of the last twelve races at Martinsville, and the owner is second only to the king, Richard Petty, who has a total of 17 wins at the Paperclip. Jimmie Johnson has earned …read more

The tides of change reached the shores of motorsports this week as Anheuser-Busch announced that Budweiser will no longer serve as the official beer of the Anheuser-Busch series and that its thirty years of support for Kenny Bernstein Racing’s NHRA team has been put on the blocks.  According to Anheuser-Busch this ends a historic association that over-takes STP’s 28 year sponsorship of NASCAR’s Richard “The King” Petty as the longest run between a racer and a sponsor.
Anheuser-Busch hasn’t announced who they’re going to throw their sponsorship behind for 2009. They may go with Kasey Kahne, who they sponsored in 2008, …read more

We’re coming off a pretty big weekend in NASCAR, and it’s given us plenty to talk about throughout the week despite a bit a slower week as it relates to the news itself. Right here at Do You NASCAR, we’re going to rehash a bit of the same. With Joey Logano …read more

They are all the all-time leader in NASCAR for wins as an organization, they have 7 Cup championships to their credit, and they’ve been in operation since 1949. So, why is it that only a few months into the 2008 season, Petty Enterprises had looked as though they might be on the verge of crumbling? Maybe it’s because they haven’t visited Victory Lane since 1998. Perhaps it’s the fact that General Mills, the team’s #1 sponsor for a very, very long time, has already announced their departure from Petty to put their name on a new RCR car. It might …read more

We all know that Joe Gibbs Racing has established themselves as the powerhouse of the field at this point in time. We know that Roush-Fenway Racing has come a long way in figuring out this new car and that Hendrick Motorsports seems to have lost the edge that they had on everyone else last year. We’ve analyzed potential contractual signings every which way we could, and still found ourselves locked in a guessing game. Been there, done that, but perhaps one of the stories that we haven’t talked nearly enough about are two teams that are holding out hope of …read more

Richard Childress Racing won the fifth race of the season prior in Bristol prior to the Sprint Cup Series’ off-week, and after last week’s run in Martinsville, they’re now in control of the top two spots in the Sprint Cup points standings. But, that’s not what’s got them in the headlines this week. For a few years now Richard Childress has expressed interest in fielding a fourth race team in the Cup Series, and on Tuesday afternoon, they made that …read more
