Tony Stewart Notches Win #1 at Atlanta

Tony Stewart turned a dominating performance into his first win of the 2010 season in the Emory Healthcare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday night.  Although the racing was close most of the evening, he pulled away from Carl Edwards to finish 1.3 seconds ahead. Jimmie Johnson ran a clean race and finished third, Jeff Burton finished fourth, and Kyle Busch came in fifth. The top ten was rounded out by Kurt Busch, Clint Bowyer, Ryan Newman, Juan Montoya, and Marcos Ambrose.

Kyle Busch Enjoys Historic Three-Peat at Bristol

To say that Kyle Busch was dominant at Bristol would be an understatement. In fact, it seemed that every race was his to lose, but he ran mistake-free, and did something that no other driver has done in the history of NASCAR: he won all three races at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Harvick Clinches Spot in the Chase with Win at Michigan

Kevin Harvick held off Denny Hamlin and three Roush drivers to win at Michigan, and clinch a spot in the Chase.  The win was the 14th of his career – his 3rd this season -  and made Harvick a solid favorite to win the championship this year.

Montoya Ends Drought With a Win At The Glen

Juan Montoya has been frustrated. He felt that he had the best car in the last couple of races, only to have victory snatched from him in unfortunate incidents, mainly in the pits. All of that ended for him at Watkins Glen on Sunday.

Biffle Pulls Away for Victory at Pocono

After an eventful week, in which his car owner was involved in his second plane crash, and an eventful race, with hard crashes by Kurt Busch and Elliott Sadler, red flags, and rain delays, Greg Biffle pulled away from the field, and finished nearly 3.6 seconds ahead of Tony Stewart for the victory at Pocono Raceway. This was Biffle’s 15th win in the Cup series, but only his first victory since 2008.

McMurray Joins Legendary Group with Win at Indy

After qualifying, practice, and most of the race on Sunday, everyone thought it was Juan Montoya’s weekend. The Brickyard 400 was his to lose. In fact, as Jamie McMurray found himself consistently behind Montoya lap after lap, he had all but planned to settle for the runner-up cash. But that, as they say, is why they ‘play the game’.

Reutimann Conquers Chicagoland for Second Career Sprint Cup Win

This time, it didn’t rain. There were no drops on the windshield, and no one in the pits praying for the skies to open up and NASCAR officials to call the race. This time, it was a legitimate, full-race win for David Reutimann at Chicagoland Speedway.

Johnson Wins 5th Race at Loudon

In a day filled with late-race bumping and nudging, Jimmie Johnson moved Kurt Busch out of the way, took the lead a lap from the end, and won his 5th race of the season. The win ties him with Denny Hamlin for the most wins on the circuit this year.
