By Reid Spencer, NASCAR Wire Service SPARTA, Ky. – As Kyle Busch spun his No. 18 Toyota wildly during his celebratory burnout at Kentucky Speedway, the right rear tire exploded with an audible pop after it hit the drain below the apron.

In the final practice, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver slipped to 16th on the charts. In qualifying, Poole made it to round three, ending up 11th on the starting grid for the Hisense 4KRead More

By David Morgan, NASCAR Editor As is the case anytime NASCAR visits the restrictor plate tracks of Daytona and Talladega, the chance of a multi-car crash is high and in Saturday’s Sparks Energy 300 at Talladega, the first multi-car crash of the day struck early, sweeping several contenders up in the melee. Heading down the backstretch on lap 20, last year’s runner-up at Talladega, Brennan Poole, who had already sustained some front-end damage earlier in the race, tried to move into the outside lane, but there was no room toRead More

By Toby Christie, NASCAR Editor HOMESTEAD, Fla. — It wasn’t any easy night for Daniel Hemric in the Ford EcoBoost 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, but the 25-year old scratched, clawed and fought his way to a solid finish to finish out his career with Brad Keselowski Racing.
