By David Morgan, NASCAR Contributor After an off weekend for Father’s Day, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series gets back to business this weekend as they get set to take on the first of two road course races on the 2016 schedule. Before the focus turns to Sunday’s Toyota Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, we’ll take a step back in the past for this week’s “Throwback Thursday Theater” to the 1995 Save Mart Supermarkets 300 and the lone road course win for a legend.

By Joey Barnes, Editor-in-Chief Fernando Alonso senses the end of his Formula 1 career is near and believes that the next challenge could include the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Spaniard came into F1 at 20-years-old with Minardi in 2001 and has since enjoyed two championships, 32 wins and 97 podiums in 260 starts.

Hornish drove the No. 18 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing, after receiving a call to fill in for Matt Tifft who injured his back earlier in the week. Hornish started the American Ethanol E15 200 at Iowa Speedway in the thirdRead More
