We all know Kyle Busch 's team is running with a new crew chief. Seemed the perfect time to make the swap, considering the old one, Steve Addington, had just won the Wypall Crew Chief of the Week Award by helping Kyle come from 41st to finish fourth at Martinsville. So who's the new kid in ...

We're inside 48 hours from the final race of the season, and with the drama all but squeezed out of the Chase for the Sprint Cup, we're forced to look elsewhere for our storylines of interest. So thank you, Kasey Kahne , for giftwrapping this one for us. Kahne, as you know, is one of the most ...

We're back with a brand-spankin' new Chrome Horn podcast, this time featuring owner Richard Childress. He joins us for a quick visit to talk his team's disappointing seasons, his wine, his history with NASCAR and -- because these things often have a price -- his involvement with the Dial 811 ...

Quick-hitter here -- we're going to give something a try that could be a lot of fun, or could crash and burn totally. Or both at once. As you (hopefully) know, we don't shut the doors here when the season ends, and one thing we'll be doing throughout the offseason is our podcasts . We'll have ...

We're getting within sight of
the end of the season, and so it's time to begin our look back. In a
feature shamelessly ripped from Puck Daddy's Death Watch and Big League Stew's Walk Toward The Light , we'll
be counting down each and every car that fell short of the Sprint Cup

The Sprint Cup championship is all but sewn up for Jimmie Johnson , but there's still an outside chance Mark Martin could win. With a single race left, Mark Martin is 108 points behind Johnson. Using this points system as a guide , we break it down. If Johnson finishes 25th or better, the ...

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is under more scrutiny than anybody in NASCAR, but interestingly, he doesn't run from the spotlight -- he stands up and takes the tough questions, week after week, time after time. USA Today's Nate Ryan has a fine, long Q&A with Junior today in which he puts a bow on his ...

This is how silly season ends, not with a bang but with a long-expected and finally-confirmed move: Jamie McMurray will be driving the #1 car for Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing in 2010. McMurray, of course, was the odd man out when NASCAR laid down a four-car maximum rule for team owners. Earlier ...

So Jimmie Johnson , Jeff Gordon , Kurt Busch and Mark Martin are dueling for the Cup championship. Tony Stewart is right there behind them. And Dale Earnhardt Jr. is sitting in the top 5, on the cusp of a possible championship run. What? I'm talking about this day in 2004 , not 2009. ...

At some point, you've got to start feeling a little bad for Dale Earnhardt Jr. This has been the most wretched season imaginable for NASCAR's most famous driver. On Sunday, he added to his litany of unfortunate 2009 races as he got loose in Turn 4 at Phoenix and collected some big names in the ...

One of the most inexplicable elements of this entire 2009 season has been the sudden, precipitous drop of Richard Childress Racing from near the summit of NASCAR to ... well, not the bottom ... maybe a low-level base camp? Yeah, that works. Anyway, by now you know the deal. Three guys -- Kevin ...
