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.

This week, NASCAR returns to Daytona International Speedway for the Coke Zero 400, one of the biggest races of the year on the Sprint Cup schedule. With Daytona being one of NASCAR’s two restrictor plate courses, the track has fallen under quite a bit of scrutiny over the years. While it’s still loved by many, there are still those that feel as though things tend to get a bit overhyped whenever the series heads down to Florida. But, whether you love it or you hate it, one thing cannot be denied, and that is …read more

Roger Penske has undoubtedly assembled one of the greatest and most consistent racing organizations in NASCAR in what has become known as the “modern era”, despite not having yet won himself a Cup Series championship. Originally formed back in 1972 on an interim part-time basis, Penske didn’t go full-time until 1976 with Bobby Allison, but soon exited the sport after running only 2 races in 1980 with Rusty Wallace behind the wheel.
Penske Racing returned to the Cup Series in 1991 with Rusty again driving for the team, this team with the #2 Miller Genuine Draft car. Rusty would remain with …read more
