Kyle Busch may not win any popularity contests, but he wins races, and swept the weekend at Texas Motor Speedway with victories in both the Nationwide O'reilly 300 on Friday, and the Sprint Cup NRA 500 Saturday night.

Jimmie Johnson and Brad Keselowski are in an epic points battle running one and two in points for the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup. At the end of the AAA Texas 500 it was Jimmie Johnson getting the checkered flag only .808 seconds in front of Keselowski.

Clint Bowyer ran out of fuel Saturday night, but not until after he crossed the finish line to win the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and was in the middle of his victory burnout.

It was Jimmie Johnson that took the checkered flag to win the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Speedway Saturday night.  The win marks the 200th NASCAR Sprint Cup Victory for car owner Rick Hendrick and his team Hendrick Motorsports.

With a restart, and only 8 laps to the checkered flag, everybody was hoping it would be Earnhardt Jr., but Kyle Busch was able to pull away from him to get the win, his fourth straight at Richmond International Raceway.

When Greg Biffle showed up at Texas Motor Speedway he was the points leader.  He started the Samsung Mobile 500 as points leader, and after a victory Saturday night, he left Texas as the Sprint Cup points leader, and Roush Fenway Racing had swept the weekend in Ft. Worth with wins in both the Nationwide Series Friday, and Biffle's win in the Sprint Cup Race.

Not only are we super excited about the night racing scheduled for Texas Motor Speedway this Friday April 13th, and Saturday April 14th, but there's a huge list of events around DFW all week, leading up to the main event with the Samsung Mobile 500 racing under the lights.

In a re-start with only 4 laps to the checkered flag, it was Tony Stewart beating out Jimmie Johnson for the win Sunday in the Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This is Stewart's first victory at the track, and he won in grand fashion having the most dominant car of the day.

At the track that took his hopes for a Championship in 2010, Denny Hamlin tasted sweet victory in the Subway Fresh Fit 500 Sunday at Pheonix International Raceway.  In only his second race with 2011 Championship crew-chief Darian Grubb, Hamlin held off Kevin Harvick for the last 53 laps to win the race, and claim the top spot in points.
