Kevin Swindell, shown here at the 2012 event, won his fourth consecutive Chili Bowl in Tulsa on Saturday...
The official name of the event is the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals, but there's a good reason to change that to the Kevin Swindell Charity race. Until Swindell won in 2010 and 2011, no driver had even won the prestigious indoor midget race two years in a row. Then Swindell won again in 2012, and Saturday night at...

  Former Roush Fenway Racing teammates Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle were fastest in Saturday's final two rounds of Sprint Cup testing at Daytona International Speedway. The three-day test was the first for NASCAR's new “Gen 6” cars at DIS, which will host the season-opening Daytona 500 on ...

  As the Dakar Rally enjoys its traditional rest day halfway through the action on Sunday, Mini X Raid driver Stephane Peterhansel continues to lead despite a day of chaos on Jan. 12 that ultimately led to the stage being cancelled. Peterhansel actually lost 12 minutes in the difficult conditions. ...

  Bryan Clauson, Jason Johnson and Donny Schatz were honored as drivers of the year by voters in the three respective North American Sprint Car polls.

  The Black Falcon Mercedes team of drivers Khaled Al Aubaisi, Sean Edwards, Bernd Schneider and Jeroen Bleekemolen came back from a test crash on Wednesday to put together a sold run of 600 laps to successfully defend its title at the Dubai 24 Hours. The winners won from the pole position. The...

  The government of Senegal has taken an aggressive stance against organizers of the Dakar Rally, insisting that the event should either return to western Africa after a six-year absence, or change its name. First run in 1979 as the Paris-Dakar, the event was relocated out of Senegal to South...

  If I had a dollar for every story I've heard about someone who didn't know what to expect upon attending his or her first NASCAR race, only to leave the race track afterward thoroughly hooked on the sport after the checkered flag falls, I'd be a millionaire. Face it, there is no other...

  Dale Earnhardt Jr. issued this dire warning on Friday afternoon at Daytona International Speedway: “You definitely gotta be more careful pushing people. The cars are really tail-happy and loose because of the downforce on the back. So they're a little more of a handful, especially in the...

  Nobody reached 200 miles per hour on Friday afternoon at Daytona International Speedway, but seven drivers topped 199 mph in Sprint Cup testing in warm and sunny conditions. After relatively manageable speeds in the mid-190s range in single-car runs on Thursday and Friday morning, drivers did an...
