1. Chevrolet, ole!
Chevy is seeing red right now. Look for Team Chevrolet and the General Motors Nation to work through the NASCAR Cup Series off-week to get more consistent speed into the new Camaro body. With a few exceptions, Chevrolets performance has been dreadful. It took seven-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson five starts before scoring his first top-10 finish. Each week we have been getting a little bit better, he said.
2. No, says Edwards
Every time Carl Edwards gets asked the question Are you planning to return as a Cup Series driver? the answer is always the same No. During a recent interview on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Edwards drove a stake through the heart of comeback rumors. I dont have any plans to come back, he said. Edwards did hint at a possible hard turn into politics. But theres nothing planned any time soon, he said.
3. No longer with us
OK, the header sounds ominous, but the subject matter is this: race drivers who have won at Texas over the last 10 years but who are no longer racing. So over the last 10 years, dating back to 2008, the drivers who won races at Texas and no longer drive are Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart and Greg Biffle. The next stop for these guys is the NASCAR Hall of Fame, most certainly.
