Kyle Busch won his sixth race of the Sprint Cup season and picked up the second Cup restrictor plate win of his career, much to the dismay of the crowd on-hand at Daytona International Speedway for Saturday night’s Coke Zero 400. But, whether or not you like Kyle Busch is irrelevent – what you cannot deny is that the action at Daytona was exciting once again and should be considered another victory for the Car of Tomorrow.

The six Winston Cups that Dale Earnhardt brought to the famed #3 Chevy team owned by Richard Childress Racing from 1984 to 2000 without a doubt legitimized the Childress organization in ways that even Richard himself had never dreamed possible. That legendary status suddenly (and sadly) came to a screeching halt at the 2001 Daytona 500, however, and we all know the story behind that. After renumbering the #3 to the #29 and replacing the legend with a rookie, Kevin Harvick appeared as though he might continue that legacy for RCR by bursting onto the scene with 2 wins, a …read more

It’s hard to imagine that a team like Yates Racing would no longer be considered to be in NASCAR’s elite organizations, but the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of the course that this company has undergone over the past few seasons is the phrase, “My, how the mighty have fallen.” It wasn’t long ago that Robert Yates had the likes of the rising Elliot Saddler and racing legend Dale Jarrett driving the no. 38 M&M’s and no. 88 UPS Chevy Monte Carlo’s and both drivers were contending for championships. Fast forward to 2008, and Doug …read more
