NASCAR Nationwide:Scott Wimmer to Drive No.7 for JRM at Bristol Motor Speedway
- By Patti Rodisch
- March 15th, 2010
On Monday, JR Motorsports announced plans to run a second car full time in the NASCAR Nationwide series.
JRM already runs the No.
88 full time with Kelly Bires.
It would be the No.7 car with Scott Wimmer.
He is entered for this weekend’s race at Bristol Motor Speedway and the April 3rd event at Nashville.
Danica Patrick will drive the car for the 13 races already planned this season, with crew chief Tony Eury, Jr.
on top of the box.
"This is something we've been considering for awhile now, and the bottom line is the No.
7 car is too good not to be at the race track," Eury said.
Sponsorship has been an issue for JRM this season.
The organization is still working on sponsorship for Bires.
"Our goal at JR Motorsports has always been to have...
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series: The Top Stories From Daytona To Atlanta-Part 2
- By Dustin Parks

A lot of times the Daytona 500 is often it's own entity, it's own race, and much like the Super Bowl, has it's own place during a season. But, unlike football, NASCAR's version of the Super Bowl happens at the beginning of the season. When the series leaves the "World's Center of Speed," many teams consider the following week the real start to the season. No more restrictor plates and no more drafting, instead it's traded for wide turns and 200+ mph speeds at the Auto Club Speedway. What a week in Hollywood it was. Despite overcast skies and a bleak outlook, it was the Auto Club 500 that would begin setting the tone for the 2010 season. Right away, and not surprisingly, one of the top stories was the crowd. It's...
On The Throttle: Was Probation for Carl Edwards the Right Punishment?
- By Amanda DiPaolo
- March 12th, 2010
Written by Amanda DiPaolo, Patti Rodisch and Dustin Parks. This week, the NASCAR writers give their take on the Carl Edwards-Brad Keselowski incident. Plus, they discuss who needs the off week most, the new rule on the "start and park" drivers, and the status of Robby Gordon in the sport. On Sunday, we saw Carl Edwards do some retaliation on Brad Keselowski for an incident earlier in the race. NASCAR has since placed Edwards on probation for the next three NSCS race weekends, with the probation spanning across all three series. What is your take on the wreck, and does the punishment fit? Also, would NASCAR have done something different had Keselowski not gone airborne? Amanda DiPaolo: Carl Edwards is lucky he didn't get kicked out of...
Hendrick Motorsports to Run "Honoring Our Soldiers" Cars at Charlotte

The Memorial Day weekend festivities at Charlotte Motor Speedway are all about supporting the men and women in the United States Armed Forces. This year, Hendrick Motorsports will continue that tradition. Dale Earnhardt Jr, Jeff Gordon Jimmie Johnson and Mark Martin will all run special red, white and blue paint schemes with a special "Honoring Our Soldiers" logo in the 51st running of the Coca-Cola 600. The logo is a shield with the American flag in the background and a bald eagle soaring at full wingspan in the foreground. Each car has a unique take on the colors of the American flag. Martin will run a metallic blue car with the red and white stripes across the bottom. The eagle logo is placed behind the number in a...
Nascar Nationwide:Playoff Could Amp Up the Drama
- By Amanda DiPaolo
- March 12th, 2010
If you look at the NASCAR Nationwide standings you will see two things. First, Kyle Busch has a commanding lead in the standings and almost has this championship wrapped up. Second, the series could use a change, preferably one that does not cost struggling organizations more than they are paying now. The Nationwide series needs a Chase format. It’s not perfect in the Sprint Cup series, but it works and it does add some drama to what used to be a dull final stretch of a long season. Right now we have two Sprint Cup regulars leading the Nationwide standings. We have leader Kyle Busch, and following behind him, Carl Edwards. Brad Keselowski is the only Nationwide regular within reach of the Championship, but even he has raced competitively in the Sprint Cup...
Ricky Rudd's toughness and endurance showed through in Martinsville

When a driver climbs into a race car, many things must happen before they start the motor. He or she goes through a check list, making sure the belts are tight , strapping on the helmet, checking radios, and putting the steering wheel in place. Possibly one of the most important pieces that drivers hook up before starting the engine has to be their cool-air system. The temperatures inside the car can get extremely warm and uncomfortable. In 1998, at the Martinsville Speedway, that fact became a severe reality for one driver. On race day, Virginia was seeing some very warm temperatures in September. The weather was beautiful with the sun shining down, but the heat was noticeable. In the midst of seeing two of baseball's biggest hitters chase a home run record,...
