There was the time he failed to make the event on speed. There was the time a long pit stop and a spin ruined what had been a second-place run. There was the epically bad weekend when he didn't get to qualify because his car failed inspection, took a penalty after the catch-can was left on during a pit stop, and had to be helped out by his crew after a hard hit ignited a fire under the hood.

    29 Dec 2011 | 9:11 am
    It was a spectacular NASCAR season on the track, and no less interesting off it. From an overhaul of the sport's points system in January to the closest Sprint Cup championship race ever in November, it was a year full of events that had everyone talking. Here are some of the best of those comments, in chronological order:

  • Championship race for the ages was story of 2011

    28 Dec 2011 | 10:49 am
    For Carl Edwards, it began with a runner-up finish at Daytona that would herald an onslaught of top-10s that would keep him at or near the top of the point standings all season. For Tony Stewart, it began with a mediocre result in the Great American Race that precipitated a year-long course in crisis management. As the 2011 Sprint Cup campaign unfolded, there were very few hints at the greater drama that would eventually ensnare both of these competitors at the end.

About once a month, he'd venture over to Myrtle Beach, S.C., and compete against regulars like Dale Earnhardt Jr. The two struck up a friendship, and when Little E made his first foray into what is now the Nationwide Series, he tried to convince his father to add Francis to the team.

  • Caraviello: When NASCAR's 'silly season' went crazy

    11 Jan 2012 | 10:24 am
    Eleven years ago, the NASCAR race team then known as Roush Racing made an announcement of a sponsor change on its flagship No. 6 car. Valvoline was leaving, and the Roush organization had struck a megabucks deal with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer to advertise a certain little blue pill on the hood of its vehicle beginning the following season. Jack Roush and Mark Martin revealed the new paint scheme in a splashy unveiling prior to the July race at Daytona International Speedway -- a full seven months before the car would take to the race track.

  • Shiplett named as crew chief for No. 38

    10 Jan 2012 | 2:54 pm
    Turner Motorsports announced Tuesday that Mike Shiplett has been added to the team's roster of veteran crew chiefs to lead the No. 38 Great Clips team with driver Kasey Kahne and up and comer Brad Sweet. It is a reunion of sorts for Shiplett and Kahne, who were paired together in the Nationwide Series during the 2007 season and put down impressive results including two victories.

    29 Dec 2011 | 9:11 am
    It was a spectacular NASCAR season on the track, and no less interesting off it. From an overhaul of the sport's points system in January to the closest Sprint Cup championship race ever in November, it was a year full of events that had everyone talking. Here are some of the best of those comments, in chronological order:

  • A little bit of Dodge City in Earnhardt Jr.'s back yard

    22 Jan 2012 | 10:28 am
    MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- There's a barbershop that advertises haircuts for a quarter, a jail with real locking cells, and a church with a steeple. There's a post office, a bank, and a hotel with bunk beds in the rooms upstairs. There's the Blazin Saddles Tack Shop and the Silverado Saloon, the latter of which features a pool table and genuine bottles of booze behind the long, polished bar.

  • Menzer: Thunder only whetted appetites for Speedweeks

    16 Jan 2012 | 10:17 am
    From a public relations standpoint, it appears three days of Sprint Cup testing at Daytona International Speedway at the end of last week could not have gone better for NASCAR.

  • New rules, team changes focus at Preseason Thunder

    11 Jan 2012 | 10:43 am
    DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Earnhardt Ganassi Racing suffered through a subpar 2011 Sprint Cup season as a group and after some major changes to EGR's structure, no one's readier for the 2012 season to begin than Jamie McMurray and his teammate, Juan Montoya.

  • From the Notebook: NASCAR has impact on Rolex 24

    26 Jan 2012 | 11:02 am
    DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The fact that this weekend's Rolex 24 at Daytona marks the 50th anniversary of one of the world's most renowned sports car races is a coincidence to 16 drivers with strong NASCAR ties -- including four full-time Sprint Cup Series drivers -- competing.

  • Top five moments: Veterans leave indelible marks on 2011 Truck Series season

    31 Dec 2011 | 10:27 am

  • From the Notebook: Watrip dabbles in sports cars; Bodine seeks new ride

    8 Dec 2011 | 12:32 pm
    Team owner Michael Waltrip continues to race stock cars, but he achieved a Daytona first Wednesday as he prepared for his first try at the Rolex 24 At Daytona. Waltrip used the second day of a two-day test at the World Center of Racing using a TRG Motorsports Porsche GT3 to get some laps in preparation for the 50th anniversary of the kickoff event of Daytona's Speedweeks on Jan. 28-29.

    24 Nov 2011 | 10:42 am
    Martin Truex Jr. might have just concluded his second season with Michael Waltrip Racing, but when Waltrip released David Reutimann with little more than a month remaining in the schedule, it was obvious MWR was pinning its future hopes on Truex's 31-year-old shoulders.

    Johnny Benson announced in September that he would make his long anticipated return to the Camping World Truck Series in 2012, driving the No. 66 Chevrolet Silverado for Turn One Racing with major sponsorship from his home state and Pure Michigan. Although Benson acknowledged that the deal was not quite done and full season sponsorship was lacking, it now appears that the agreement has fallen through.

    Greg Zipadelli, who won two Cup Series championships and 34 races in 13 years at Joe Gibbs Racing, in the last 48 hours negotiated a release from his JGR contract that allows him to join Stewart-Haas Racing as its competition director, a role that will include working as Danica Patrick's crew chief in her Sprint Cup Series debut in the 2012 Daytona 500.

  • Addington has degree from racing's old school

    23 Jan 2012 | 4:45 pm
    After he was released from Joe Gibbs Racing with three races remaining in the 2009 season, one of the first people Steve Addington met with was Tony Stewart. Stewart-Haas Racing was hoping to add a third car to join those of Stewart and Ryan Newman, and should it become reality, that vehicle would need a crew chief. The expansion didn't happen, and Addington wound up at Penske Racing instead. But he always stayed in touch with Stewart, and kept one wistful eye on that organization.

  • Notebook: Addington has good feeling about a title with SHR

    19 Jan 2012 | 9:48 am
    It took Tony Stewart just three years to figure out how to win a Cup Series championship as an owner/driver. And in the process, he's converted a couple of former teammates at Joe Gibbs Racing into believers of a calmer, but no less effective driver on the race track.

    12 Jan 2012 | 2:34 pm
    DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- To Danica Patrick, it felt like the first day at a new school. There were new classmates, the drivers on the Sprint Cup tour. There were new instructors, like car owner Tony Stewart and crew chief Greg Zipadelli. There were even new lunch routines, like Olive Garden versus the usual sandwich. And there was a new classroom, the Sprint Cup garage area, which at one point Patrick overran on pit road, forcing her to back up before pulling in.

  • WILL 'DINGER BE THE BREAKOUT DRIVER OF 2012?

    Jim McCoy
    24 Jan 2012 | 7:00 am
    With all the movement of the 2011 off-season, there’s ample opportunity for fresh starts in 2012. It may even pave the way for a breakout star in the mold of Brad Keselowski in 2011. Interestingly enough, 2012’s breakout racer may very well be his new teammate. He appears to have it all now: he’s got a racer’s name, a racer’s look, a pretty wife at his side, and an improving performance. All he needs now is to to start producing wins, the same way Keselowski did last summer. A.J. Allmendinger now stands in the best position he’s ever been in to have a…

    16 Jan 2012 | 7:00 am
    Daytona, how we’ve missed you. The 2012 season took its first visible steps with testing this past weekend. Normally, testing developments are minor…at best. But when there’s snow outside the yard, sunshine in Florida and a clock ticking down to the 500, it’s more than reasonable to examine three intriguing developments coming from this past weekend. read more

  • WHAT IS THE NASCAR NATIONWIDE SERIES?

    Jim McCoy
    10 Jan 2012 | 7:00 am
    It’s not the first time the question has been asked, but lacking a satisfactory answer, it seems worth another go. Yes, I know they race with a slightly different car, and there are some different drivers than what you see in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, and they even race on different tracks every once in a blue moon. Aside from that, it looks like it’s a hybrid test session/audition for the Cup series. Unless you’re just a hard core racing nut (after all, there are only so many hours in a weekend), it hardly seems worth the effort. For the sake of disclosure, they lost…
