Rick Hendrick only got to watch the last 100 miles of the Southern 500. Turns out he saw the best part. Jimmie Johnson broke free on a restart three laps from the end Saturday night to give Hendrick Motorsports its 200th Sprint Cup victory.
With 638 horsepower, the Corvette ZR1 will be the most powerful production car ever to serve as the pace car during the Indianapolis 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials said.
The leader on the last lap isn't supposed to win at Talladega Superspeedway. Everybody knows that. Brad Keselowski disagrees, and he showed how to do it Sunday with a calculated plan that sent him to Victory Lane.
