For the eleventh time this season, Kyle Busch went to Victory Lane in the No.54 Monster Energy Toyota.

During the Dollar General 300 last night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, many were hoping that a Nationwide Series regular would make it to the top. Well…they were close.

In Victory Lane, Busch announced that he and wife Samantha were donating all the race winnings to the Pretty in Pink Foundation to combat breast cancer.

“I didn’t think we were going to win the thing, but somehow I got to the top (of the track) and started making time and was able to get back up there (to the lead),” Busch said. “I certainly want to do this tomorrow night also (in the Sprint Cup race).”

Austin Dillon and Sam Hornish Jr battled hard to get past the pole-sitter in the closing laps of the race but finished 2nd and 3rd behind Busch. Dillon now leads the championship points standings by eight over Hornish.

“We had three guys fighting it out there till the end with everything we had,” Dillon said. “It was a heck of a race. I told Sam it was the best race I felt like I was a part of all year, slicing and dicing out there.”

There were a lot of fast cars on the track this weekend as the Camping World Truck Series, Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup Series all compete this weekend at Chicagoland.

After a set of practices on Friday, Austin Dillon and Kyle Larson split the honors at the top of the board. Larson, a Rookie in the series this year, topped the leaderboard in first practice with a speed of 177.055mph. Larson is currently sits 9th in series points and will be taking over the No.42 Earnhardt Ganassi Racing Chevrolet in the Sprint Cup Series in 2014.

Topping the leaderboard after the checkered flag waved for second practice was Austin Dillon. The cool evening track and air temperatures allowed him to run a lap much quicker than Larson’s at 179.748pmh. Dillon is also scheduled to make the move up to the Cup Series, driving for his grandfather Richard Childress.

A number of Sprint Cup Series regulars will be in the field this Saturday: Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Joey Logano, Matt Kenseth and Kevin Harvick.

Also, there could possibly be two women in the field this weekend at Johanna Long and Maryeve Dufault attempt to qualify for the field. Long, driving for ML Motorsports, is a regular in the series while Dufault is just starting to come through the ranks in stock cars.

Coors Light Pole Qualifying is scheduled Saturday at 12:05 p.m. ET., with the series’ 26th of 33 races this season set for a 3:30 p.m. ET start.

Jimmie Johnson likes to make history. His biggest history making accomplishment thus far has been winning five straight Sprint Cup Series Championships. Saturday in Daytona, Johnson added one more major accomplishment to his resume, a Daytona sweep.

After taking the win in the Great American Race to kick off the season, Johnson came back to the track for the second time this season and showed the racing world just what he was made of. Johnson’s victory in the Coke Zero 400 made him the first driver in more than 30 years to sweep the Daytona races in more than 30 years.

The last driver to accomplish such a feat was legendary driver Bobby Allison back in 1982; 31 years ago.

“I don’t think I made a bad move tonight. I’m pretty proud of that,” Johnson said after the race. “Gosh, growing up in Southern California and watching Bobby Allison … to do anything Bobby has done is pretty special.”

Johnson’s win in Daytona kept him on top of the points standings and also tied him with Matt Kenseth with the most wins this season;  four. Johnson has spent all but two weeks at the top of the standings this season. To say he has dominated this season would be an understatement.

After two seasons of missing out on the coveted Championship trophy, Johnson is more determined than ever to return to the top where he belongs. Mr. Five-Time, as his fans have dubbed him, is on a quest to be the best driver NASCAR has ever had. If he can win two more championships before he retires, he will tie the legendary Dale Earnhardt and the King Richard Petty. But that isn’t what Johnson wants; he wants more.

Johnson’s goal before he hangs up the fire suit is simple, eight Championships, something that no driver has ever accomplished before. Johnson is well on his way to getting his six-pack, and no, I’m not talking about his fitness level. If Johnson and the rest of the No.48 crew from Hendrick Motorsports keep on the path that they have been on this season, being on the top of the standings after the checkered flag flies in Homestead won’t be too far of a reach.

Only four other drivers have accomplished what Johnson did on Saturday night and him adding his name to that list something that Johnson fans and race fans alike will remember for a long time. Johnson and his team show no signs of slowing down and don’t look for this to be the last time he makes history this season.

Tuesday is going to be a tough day for more than 30 different cars across two of NASCARs top series when it comes to penalties and sanctions. During tech inspection on Thursday in preparation for the Coke Zero 400, NASCAR officials found 16 different Sprint Cup Series teams to have modified roof flap spacers on their cars.

The following Sprint Cup teams were found with the modified Jamie McMurray, Casey Mears, Aric Almirola, Marcos Ambrose, Greg Biffle, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Carl Edwards, Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, Trevor Bayne, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, Clint Bowyer, Michael Waltrip and Martin Truex Jr.

Along with the 16 Sprint Cup teams, the violations led NASCAR to check the rook flaps of the Nationwide Series teams too.

Bayne, Busch, Brian Vickers, Cole Whitt, Jeffrey Earnhardt, Landon Cassill, Kenseth, Blake Koch, Mike Bliss, Michael Annett, Travis Pastrana, Reed Sorenson, Robert Richardson, Jason White and Dexter Stacey.

According to NASCAR, “the roof flaps are built to deploy and allow air to escape from inside the cockpit of the car if the car is spun, lessening the chance it would become airborne.”

The roof flap spacers confiscated from the various teams weren’t all modified the same way. Some had holes drilled in them, others were the wrong size.

Sanctions and penalties for these modified parts will likely be handed down on Tuesday from NASCAR.

Sunday was a shocker to all when Tony Stewart seemingly came out of nowhere to take home the victory at Dover International Speedway. This season has been a bit of a slump thus far for Stewart-Haas Racing but after a good showing at the Coca-Cola 600 and then a win at Dover, could their season finally be looking up?

Stewart may have slayed the monster that is Dover but is this the start of the Stewart we all know and love? Stewart was off to one of the worst starts of his career, only logging two top-10s in the first 12 races. Stewart is usually at his best once the hot summer months roll around so seeing him win at Dover was right up his alley.

Looking at the beginning of 2013, many have thought that Stewart would miss the Chase this season, but with his win, he is eligible for a wild card spot if he does not make it into the top-10 by Chicago. His average finish this season is 20th and the first 10 races saw him sitting below 20th in points. He is currently sitting 16th in points with one win, holding on to the second wild card spot. I wouldn’t count Stewart out of the Chase just yet. He is just starting to hit his stride in the season and could easily make it into the top-10 in points before the Chase begins.

Stewart’s teammate Ryan Newman has seemed to be fairing the best this season at Stewart-Haas Racing. With six top-10 finishes, he leads the SHR Trio with the highest finishing average. Newman also leads the trio in DNF’s as well. His up-and-down season may not be the most consistent but it kept him in the top-20 in points all season. After the wreck at Dover left him with a 36th place finish, Newman dropped to 20th in the standings but he won’t be there for long.

Newman is said to be leaving Stewart-Haas Racing at the end of the season although where he will be going is still up in the air. Having a good final season in the 39 will be key in him landing a great ride for 2014.

Stewart-Haas Racing’s third driver may be one of the most popular in the circuit but what people have to remember, she is also a Rookie in the Sprint Cup Series. Since taking the world by storm in the season opening Daytona 500, Danica Patrick has been less than stellar, but she hasn’t been awful either. She finished an impressive 12th in her first appearance at Martinsville Speedway that garnished the attention of some of the best drivers in the field. Other than her 12th place and 8th place finish at Daytona, Patrick has finished outside the top-20 every time.

With an average start of 26th, Patrick hasn’t been too far from her boss Stewart. In fact, she has been him in a few races already this season. As a Rookie Driver, and looking at the performance of her two teammates, Patrick has done well to kick off her first full Sprint Cup Season. As the series heads back to some of these tracks for a second time, look for Patrick to improve from her first time there. There are also two more plate track races and a few road courses coming up and they will play well into Patrick’s skill set.

Looking at Stewart-Haas Racing as an organization so far this season, they have definitely had their struggles and hard races but they seem to be tuning over a new leaf. Don’t count Stewart-Haas Racing out just yet, their three drivers are just warming up.
