I can watch video of the 2011 Daytona Gatorade Duel forever. My brother, Brian, and I raced together that day, one of the few times we’ve ever raced together. Brian was in a low budget, underfunded car — the No. 92 — and I was running in the Deuce. Before the race started, we talked [...]
At the end of last weekend’s race at New Hampshire, I was black flagged for jumping a restart, and the penalty cost me a shot at a win. Since then, a lot of people have asked me why I wasn’t angrier after the race, and the last thing I want people to think is that [...]
This past weekend at Darlington was a tremendous success. It was perhaps one of the most popular events of the season, and not only for the retro theme of the race, or nostalgia or the track itself. With a new rules package, the quality of the racing was fantastic — so great, in fact, that [...]
It’s a well known fact that nearly all Sprint Cup drivers use private planes to travel between races, and it’s something that tends to catch the attention of fans and the media from time to time, usually in a negative way.

What wins a race? Is it the car, or is it the driver? I’m asked this question all the time by fans, and as we approach the All-Star Race — and consider who the best drivers are in our sport — it seems like a pretty good time to take it on. I’m excited to [...]
Several recent events have made me step back and look at my career as a driver, and think about how amazed and humbled I am to be where I am. And at those times, I’ve been reminded just how many people it’s taken to get me to this point. There are so many of them. [...]
Just when it looked like the story of the day would be that of a Kurt Busch victory or a Kevin Harvick West Coast sweep, Brad barrelled his way in and stole this trophy out from under both the Stewart Haas drivers.
