Thuder Valley.
The very name of Bristol Motor Speedway is reminiscent of danger, excitement and drama. The finishes are some of NASCAR's most used highlights and the winners go on to become the sport's most prominent champions.
Wallace, Earnhardt, Gordon and Busch have all tamed Bristol and followed it up with Cup Series Championships. Who joins them on the winner's list of NASCAR's hardest ticket?

NASCAR Sprint Cup Car Fax 400 | Michigan Internation Speedway Open Race Thread

The final race to the Chase starts at Michigan and today's Carfax 400.
I've been away from the blog all week and have yet to look at the numbers but I don't require a statistical advance to tell me that Jimmie Johnson is really good here. Despite always contending, the four-time champion has actually gone winless at MIS.
After qualifying on the outside pole on Friday and leading happy hour on Saturday, Johnson could end his recent slump this afternoon. But that will mean getting past pole-sitter and future Hendrick teammate Kasey Kahne, who smoked the field on Friday after clearing up his contract situation over the past week.
Pre-race coverage will be provided by ESPN Countdown (12ET) and SPEED Raceday (10ET). Live race coverage will air on ESPN starting at 1 p.m./ET. Green flag is set for 1:35 with Marty Reid, Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree providing the call.
News, notes and a starting lineup can be found after the jump!
NASCAR Sprint Cup Helluva Good! Dips at the Glen | Watkins Glen International Open Race Thread

And Now for Something Completely Different.
With 11 twisting turns, Watkins Glen is NASCAR's flying circus. The Glen is the last of two road courses. It's also the last before the Chase cutoff, making it a wild card of sorts for those trying to secure a playoff berth.
Several teams have a new driver for The Glen and Scott Pruett could easily drive the Hendrick no. 24 should Jeff Gordon's latest addition arrive on Sunday. News, notes and a starting lineup can be found after the jump!

Ambrose kicks butt and takes the pole. He'll be hard to beat!
I'd personally like to see an all Canadian top 3 at the end of it (Fellows, Fitzpatrick, & Villeneuve), but I think Ambrose and Said will have something to say about that.
Starting line-up after the jump, see you there.
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Pennsylvania 500 | Pocono Raceway Open Race Thread

Updated - 1:37pm ET - Rain has delayed the start of the Pennsylvania 500. The green flag will now drop at 1:50 ET.
Updated - 6:07am ET - Rain may delay the start of Sunday's Pennsylvania 500. Current forecasts predict thunderstorms with a 60% chance of rain. Pocono Raceway does not have lights and we could be looking at a Monday start.
With just six races left before the Chase for the Championship, Pocono could be the deciding race for many in 2010.
There are currently five drivers who are within 156 points of the Chase cutoff and each of them are digging deep to find victory lane today in Long Pond. The best bet of this group has to be Jamie McMurray who is coming off his second win of 2010 at Indianapolis and is riding a season-high wave of momentum.
Mark Martin is currently 13th in points, just 62 markers out of the Chase, and after winning six races in 2009, the #5 is due.
Dale Earnhardt Jr (-93), Ryan Newman (-147) and Kasey Khane (-156) round out the Playoff hopefuls.

Hey there. Kind of late getting this out, I've had some serious technological difficulties these past few days.
Anyway, the starting line-up is after the jump.
Do you think Carl and Brad will 'accidently' meet each other on the track? It certainly would be interesting to see what NASCAR would do if they did.
See you on the other side.

Sooo Ryan Truex qualified, I guess the NASCAR RnR pre-race photo jinx isn't true.
Missed the truck race today, but I should be around for this one tonight.
Starting line-up is on the other side, see you there.

Hey there. Another evening race is upon us.
Based on yesterday's performance I think Kyle Busch might be the one to pick, although I picked Jimmie Johnson to win in Charlie's expert pool. Oh well, I at least hope that he places well.
See you on the other side.
