NASCAR Cup

Martin Truex, Jr. has been the surprise of the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.

After a series of just misses, Martin Truex, Jr. finally broke back into victory lane in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa.

Now that he’s all but locked into NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup for the first time, Martin Truex, Jr. feels pretty good about his championship chances.

Martin Truex, Jr. knew that his third career victory would come – eventually.

Reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champ Kevin Harvick is winless in 28 career starts at Pocono Raceway.

Jimmie Johnson said the NASCAR’s rules package remains the “hot topic” for the Drivers Council that met with NASCAR officials for the first time last weekend at Dover.

NASCAR Sprint Cup qualifying can be fraught with twists, turns and unexpected bumps in the road.

Drenched in sweat after completing 400 miles at Pocono Raceway on a sizzling hot summer day last August, an ecstatic Dale Earnhardt Jr. raised a push broom over his head in triumph to celebrate his season sweep of the two races at the track known as the “Tricky Triangle.”

While several drivers and teams are now breathing a sigh of relief having escaped the “Monster Mile” at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del., others felt cursed by their bad luck – or perhaps at some aggressive driving on another driver's part.

How bad was the handling of Aric Almirola’s car early in Sunday’s Sprint Cup race? So bad that he twice went a lap down early in the race.
