The first race of the Chase – the Sylvania 300 – gets underway this weekend. And you thought we were all about baseball and football here at KFFL. Want more? Keep reading…

Joey Logano looks to conquer the Tricky Triangle.
This week the NASCAR Sprint Cup series returns to Pocono Raceway for the Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500. Each of Pocono’s three turns are modeled after three different popular tracks and thus banked differently, turn two is molded after Indianapolis Motor Speedway where last week’s race was held) Connecting the turns are three straight-aways which each differ in length creating the odd track configuration that has earned the nickname, “The Tricky Triangle.” Want more?

This week the NASCAR Sprint Cup series sets up shop at the original speedway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, for the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. This classic 2.5-mile, rectangular track is unlike any other on the schedule. It’s a flat, single groove race course which can make passing and side-by-side racing difficult. Last year, tire wear was a major issue and caused numerous cautions. Goodyear has conducted several tests since then and appears to have the problem solved for this Sunday. Want more? Keep reading…

This week the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series blows into Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill., for the LifeLock.com 400. Chicagoland is one of the cookie-cutter tracks, a 1.5-mile, D-shaped, tri-oval. It most closely resembles Kansas Speedway which is not on the schedule until the Chase. There are some similarities to Las Vegas Motor Speedway which had its first race in the third week of the season.
Greg Biffle | No. 16 3M Ford | Roush Fenway Racing
The steady improvement in Biffle’s performance at Chicagoland warrants him a good look in all fantasy formats. In his first two starts, Biffle finished in the 20th position each time. Biffle improved to 11th-place finishes in three straight races from 2005 to 2007. Last year, Biffle registered a career-best fourth-place finish and led 43 laps. Earlier in the year, Biffle finished seventh and led 40 laps at Las Vegas. Biffle has also performed well at Kansas with four top-three finishes in the last five years. Want more? Keep reading…

Is Joey Logano ready to start passing the competition?
After a rough start to his rookie season in NASCAR Sprint Cup, Joey Logano has started to make strides of improvement. He entered the season with massive expectations having filled the seat vacated by former champion Tony Stewart. He won nearly everything in his ride up to Cup, and it had to come as somewhat of a shock to his system when he realized he would have to fight for top-20 finishes in his new ride with Joe Gibbs Racing. Logano’s critics harped on his lack of experience while proponents said that his talent would overcome the deficit. The last eight races (including the Sprint Showdown and NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race) have seen a mighty turnaround from the young driver though. Want more? Keep reading…

Should more of the blame fall on Dale Earnhardt Jr.?
Dale Jr.’s crew chief, Tony Eury Jr., who is also his cousin, has been demoted by Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick after totaling just one win in 48 races. Earnhardt, try as he might, was unable to influence the boss to keep Eury on board for the rest of the year. Want more? Keep reading…

Mark Martin winning in Phoenix was no surprise. In fact, it could be just the first victory in what may become his best-ever season.
Many wrote Martin off after the first four races of the season. His average finish in that time was 31.8. He suffered two engine failures in that time, but rest of the Hendrick garage was struggling too. Jeff Gordon led the organization with an average finish of 5.8 in the first four races, but Jimmie Johnson was running along at an uncharacteristic clip of 18.3 and Earnhardt Jr. only managed an average finish of 21.8 in that same period.

Is this the week Hendrick Motorsports driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his No. 88 finally start to make some serious noise in the Sprint Cup Series?
Junior has WON JUST ONE RACE in the last 102 races. This season has also definitely not started off the way he would have liked. He has just one top-10 finish this season and has not recorded any victories or top-five finishes. Want more? Keep reading…
