And they're off! Maxing out at a whopping 20 mph (or so) it's the most balls-out police chase you'll ever encounter... kinda.
On Sunday at Talladega, defending NASCAR Sprint Cup champ Tony Stewart set off a 25-car wreck, which somehow Matt Kenseth avoided, allowing him to come away with the win under caution. Fortunately this huge pile-up didn't lead to any infield confrontations, but quite often they do.
The NASCAR circuit has produced its fair share of high-profile feuds over the years (many involving Stewart). Most of the time, these disputes are settled with a few choice words and some mild jostling. On the other hand, it's never a huge surprise when two drivers come to blows after trading paint. Here's a look at a few of NASCAR's most memorable confrontations:
From 1959 to 1992, NASCAR legend Richard Petty won 200 races, setting a career record that is pretty much unmatchable for active drivers. Still, today’s Sprint Cup racers compose arguably the strongest field of competition that the sport has ever known.
While stars such as Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson may never reach Petty’s incredible peak, they have managed to accomplish feats that eluded even The King. Let’s take a look at the five winningest drivers on today’s Sprint Cup circuit:
In a desperate situation where a man is faced with the decision to either seek out immediate medical attention or watch his pregnant girlfriend give birth in the backseat of his car, the only available option is to -- you guessed it -- pull into a NASCAR Speedway.
Get ready! The Outlaw Monster Trucks are coming to the Lawton Rangers Rodeo Arena this weekend on Saturday, September 22nd (09-22-12) for one night only! All the high flying, car crushing, mud slinging insane action you've seen on T.V. but you'll be seeing it live in person. It'll be a night to remember!
And week one in the Chase for the Sprint Cup goes to ... Brad Keselowski, kicking off the 10-week contest to determine NASCAR's 2012 champion.
After winning the Food City 500 at the Bristol Motor Speedway NASCAR's social media monster Brad Keselowski took to his twitter account to share his win with his tweeter followers. He twitted a serious of pictures of his car and himself during the event. Last night, Keselwski proved to the rest of us that he is not just a master of the hash-tag but also the ultimate winner at the Food City 500.
Tony Stewart won at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway over the weekend. He said, “I'm not sure we had the dominant car today, but we had an awful fast Chevy,” he continued, “I m just glad to finally get one at Vegas."
After last weeks rain soaked Daytona 500, the beautiful weather in Phoenix was a welcome change as the boys of NASCAR took to the Phoenix International Speedway and when all was said and done Denny Hamlin took the number 11 Fed Ex car to victory lane as he won the second NASCAR Sprint Cup race of the 2012 season.
It took three days to get in "The Great American Race" finished and like James Taylor sang " I've seen fire and I've seen rain" but when it all was said and done Matt Kenseth was the champion of the 2012 Daytona 500.
The field is now set for the 54th running of the "Great American Race" the Daytona 500 on Sunday. As I told you in an earlier post this week the front row for the Daytona 500 was set on Sunday with Carl Edwards taking the top spot and Greg Biffle getting the number 2 spot in the race.
