The Associated Press provides a sprint cup schedule listing races from May through July across venues including Richmond, Darlington, Dover, Concord, Kansas City, Long Pond, Brooklyn, Sonoma, Daytona Beach, Sparta, and Loudon. Events include the Showdown, All-Star, Coca-Cola 600, and various 400s and 500s.
Standings list three series with drivers across the top and middle of the pack. Carl Edwards leads with 295 points, followed by Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. The lines show multiple groups and ties including NASCAR veterans and new entrants. The entry ends with a fragment mentioning the southern region.
Kevin Harvick, now with Budweiser sponsorship and a more relaxed approach, says he has shed Earnhardt’s shadow and grown into his own identity. Since stepping into Earnhardt’s seat a decade ago, he has learned to handle fame, media attention, and a tougher public profile while delivering race wins and forming a stronger team relationship.
Denny Hamlin prepares to grow his annual charity race by moving the Short Track Showdown from Southside Speedway to Richmond International Raceway. The 250 lap event benefits the Denny Hamlin Foundation supporting Children’s Hospital Richmond St Jude and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with proceeds, and will be televised on SPEED, widening its reach beyond the prior crowd of several thousand.
Comino UP presents a Richmond International Raceway event with practice Friday 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 to 6 p.m. qualifying, followed by a Saturday night 6:30 p.m. race on FOX. The 300 mile, 400 lap race notes Denny Hamlin’s track success and Jimmie Johnson’s past Richmond dominance alongside Petty’s record wins. The next race is Darlington’s Southern 500 on May 7.
Nationwide Bubba Burger 250 schedule lists practice qualifying and race times and notes the 187.5 mile, 250 lap distance. Last year Brad Keselowski netted his second 2010 win en route to the title while Carl Edwards won at Nashville and Texas earlier this year. Kyle Busch leads this season with four wins in eight races and 47 career NASCAR Nationwide wins, two behind Mark Martin. Next events at Darlington and Dover.
