Biffle finishes third; pole winner Newman drops to a 16th-place finish

With the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway being the second Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race this season, drivers had to kick it into gear to start seeing positive movement in points.

Greg Biffle led the Coca-Cola Racing Family with a third-place finish at New Hampshire, bumping him up six spots in the Chase standings to fifth.

Denny Hamlin almost saw the top 10 this week with a 12th-place finish after qualifying 14th.

Meanwhile, Joey Logano improved from Chicagoland, but still not enough for a top-10 finish. Starting in the sixth position, Logano couldn’t keep up and eventually finished 14th.

A roundup on the Coca-Cola Racing Family in order of how they finished at Richmond:

Greg Biffle (No. 16)

Roush Fenway Racing, Ford 

Recap: After struggling at Chicagoland and finishing 16th, Biffle knew he had to make an impact at New Hampshire to see positive movement in the Chase standings. Biffle made the most dramatic jump in the standings this week by finishing third at New Hampshire. Starting 10th in the field, Biffle eventually grabbed third from Kyle Busch at Lap 259 and managed to hold off a hounding Jimmie Johnson for the rest of the race. Biffle stood 11th in the Chase standings prior to the race, but after his third-place finish, he now holds fifth with 2,073 points.
Quotable: “It was a miracle. We didn’t pass anybody in the pits, we passed them all on the race track. I feel really good about how far the team has come. We had great pit stops, but we just got good at the end and our car really, really took off. We were able to drive by those guys and get up to third. We probably reeled in the 20 a full straightaway almost and the 18 — catching them — so it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time even though we finished third. It was about to be good. The 18 was gonna catch the 20 in the next few laps and I was probably gonna get to the 18s bumper, so it was a lot of fun. I just wish it was the 325, instead of the 300.”
His standing: Biffle is fifth in the standings with 2,073 points. 
Outlook: Going into the third Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Dover International Speedway, Biffle needs to hold onto this momentum while he can. Biffle already has earned two wins at Dover in 2005 and 2008, and if he keeps up the pace, perhaps 2013.

Denny Hamlin (No. 11)

Joe Gibbs Racing, Toyota 

Recap: This was one of Hamlin’s best races in a while. Coming off of Chicagoland with a 33rd-place finish, Hamlin stepped it up at New Hampshire and drove across the start/finish line 12th after starting in the 14th position.
Quotable: Hamlin was unavailable for comment.
His standing: Hamlin is 25th in the standings with 528 points.
Outlook: Although Hamlin is not in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, perhaps he still can hold onto this momentum going into Dover and find a top-10 finish. In his career, Hamlin has earned two top-five finishes and five top-10s at Dover. 

Joey Logano (No. 22)

Penske Racing, Ford

Recap: Anything could have been better for Logano this week after his disappointing 37th-place finish at Chicagoland. Logano’s finish this week might not have been as high as he would have liked, but at least it’s some positive movement compared to last week. Logano originally started sixth, but couldn’t keep up with the veterans and eventually slid back to 14th, right behind fellow Chase contender, Kurt Busch.
Quotable: “This is Loudon for me. It was nothing different. It’s just such a tricky race track to get around. At times we had a top-seven or eighth-place car, and I think we did even at the end of the race, but we took four there at the end because when we took two earlier we were really slow. So we thought we would be on the aggressive side instead of being on the defense side. Anytime you’re on defense you have the chance of getting wrecked and we’d rather be aggressive and passing cars. I didn’t have as good of a last restart as I needed. I got passed by a couple and passed about three instead, so you had to be in the right lane on that last restart to get a few more and we probably could have finished in the top 10 today. But it’s just so hard to pass. It is the hardest race track in the world to pass. It’s the most frustrating place I think I’ve ever been to, so I’m just glad to leave.”
His standing: Logano is 12th in the standings with 2,042 points.
Outlook: At the start of the Chase, the 23-year-old had as good a shot as anyone to win the championship, but after his not-so-hot past two finishes, Logano needs to step it up in Dover to prove that he belongs in the Chase. Logano has one top-five finish at Dover, and maybe he will gain another this coming race.

Ryan Newman (No. 39)

Stewart-Haas Racing, Chevrolet 

Recap: Coming out of Chicagoland finishing 10th, this week’s Coors Light Pole Award winner Newman was in the perfect position to win at New Hampshire, but only led for two laps. Kasey Kahne quickly gained the lead over Newman in the fourth turn of Lap 2 as Jeff Gordon followed. At Lap 214, Newman had faded all the way back to 26th running as the last car on the lead lap. Newman made up for some of his fall and eventually finished 16th. 
Quotable: “I still don’t understand what happened with the car. It just never drove the same after we won the pole on Friday afternoon. Even in practice on Saturday. Glad we got back up to 16th after the deal on pit road, but I don’t know. We’ll head to Dover and see what we can get.”
His standing: Newman is ninth in the standings with 2,064 points.
Outlook: Going into Dover, Newman should feel confident knowing that he’s already won three times at this track — twice in 2003 and once in 2004. He currently sits 47 points behind leader Matt Kenseth, so a win at Dover could bump Newman up to a more competitive playing field with other Chase contenders.

Danica Patrick (No. 10)

Stewart-Haas Racing, Chevrolet 

Recap: Patrick struggled at New Hampshire with a car that didn’t have the speed she needed to make an impact on the race. She finished 27th in her 38th career Sprint Cup start.
Quotable: “It’s disappointing. It’s something to learn from and put in the notebook for next time. The car just never felt ‘in’ the track today. It wasn’t for a lack of effort by Tony Gibson and the guys, but it just wasn’t quite where we needed it to be. We took two tires on the last stop, but that last restart hurt us and we lost a lot of spots. It’s disappointing, but we’ll move on.”
Her standing: Patrick is 27th in the standings with 514 points. 
Outlook: The best Patrick has finished at Dover was 24th earlier this season. Her constant 20-something finishes are holding her back from moving anywhere in the standings. A decent qualifying position at Dover could set her up nicely for the competition. 

Tony Stewart (No. 14)

Stewart-Haas Racing, Chevrolet 

Recap: Stewart missed his seventh consecutive race this past weekend and watched Mark Martin pilot his No. 14 Chevrolet to a 23rd-place finish. Stewart is still nursing his broken leg and won’t return in 2013.
His standing: Stewart is 23rd in the standings with 594 points.

Jimmy John’s will be the primary sponsor for the No. 4 team

Jimmy John’s will follow Kevin Harvick to Stewart-Haas Racing as a sponsor for the No. 4 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series beginning in 2014. 

The sandwich franchise will be the primary sponsor for 12 races, including the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and will be an associate sponsor for the remaining Cup races. It will also be an associate sponsor of the No. 14 Bass Pro Shops/Mobil 1 Chevrolet of SHR driver/owner Tony Stewart.

"We are fortunate to partner with Kevin for many more years in a very meaningful way," said Jimmy John Liautaud, CEO and founder of Jimmy John’s. "On and off the track, Kevin and (wife) DeLana Harvick are winners in all they do. And Tony’s reputation as a fierce competitor speaks for itself. Game on."

Jimmy John’s had been a Harvick sponsor for select races this season, the driver’s final slate with Richard Childress Racing. The company began sponsoring Harvick in 2009 in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

"I’ve known Jimmy since 2009 and I’ve personally seen how driven he is and how his work ethic is embraced by Jimmy John’s franchisees," said Harvick, winner of 21 Sprint Cup races, including the 2007 Daytona 500 and 2003 Brickyard 400. "He wants to be the best, period. And he’ll out-work everyone to be the best. That’s the same mindset we have in racing. I’m proud to continue this partnership with Jimmy John’s at Stewart-Haas Racing." 

Kurt Busch will also be a new addition to SHR in 2014. Busch and Harvick will comprise a four-driver team with Stewart and Danica Patrick.

Driver has 136 career starts in Nationwide Series, pair of runner-up finishes this year

NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Brian Scott will make his Sprint Cup Series debut next month at Charlotte Motor Speedway, according to Richard Childress Racing officials.

The 25-year-old will be behind of the No. 33 Chevrolet, which will carry sponsorship from Shore Lodge, when the Cup series returns to Charlotte for the Oct. 12 running of the Bank of America 500.

"It’s something I’ve dreamed about since I got into racing," Scott said in a release issued by the team. "I really like the track and it will be really cool to do that in front of the NASCAR home crowd."

Team owner Richard Childress said Scott had been "doing great" in his Nationwide Series efforts, "and it’s always good to see young talent coming up in our sport.

"He’s shown a good feel for how to race our cars and that he’s qualified to try his hand in the Sprint Cup Series," Childress said.

Scott drives the No. 2 Chevrolet for RCR in the Nationwide Series, and is seventh in points through 27 of this year’s 33 races. Winless in 136 career starts, he has finished second on two occasions this year — most recently at Richmond, where he led 239 laps in the 250-lap race.

The No. 33 Cup entry is fielded by Circle Sport Racing (owner Joe Falk), and has competed in all 28 Cup races this season. RCR driver Austin Dillon has made four starts in the car, with a best finish of 11th at Michigan.

Landon Cassill, Ron Fellows and Tony Raines have also driven for the team this year. The No. 33 entry is 37th in owner points.

Earnhardt Jr. is one of four Chase drivers without a win this season

MORE: Full coverage of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. has whittled points deficits down before. Just how much he can erase in the final eight races of this year’s Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup remains to be seen.
 
In a 10-race battle that has threatened to turn into a runaway for a handful of drivers after only two stops, Earnhardt Jr. finds himself 11th in points. He blew an engine in the opener two weeks ago, then rallied for a sixth-place finish Sunday at New Hampshire.
 
And he heads to Dover International Speedway, site of Sunday’s AAA 400, trailing points leader Matt Kenseth by 62.
 
Kenseth has opened the Chase with back-to-back wins; Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch has been second across the line on both occasions.
 
"Those guys might not have bad finishes," Earnhardt Jr. said Tuesday during an appearance at the NASCAR Hall of Fame."I know everybody expects that the guy that wins the championship is going to average a fifth-place finish or something ridiculous like that, but they could just as easily have trouble. Everybody could just as easily have trouble."

It’s not impossible, he said, that his Hendrick Motorsports team could "win a couple of races and get back in it."
 
But, he added, "As well as they’re running, it’s going to be hard to win races. But it can be done and we’re going to try to do it."
 
Wins would be vindication for where his team, led by crew chief Steve Letarte, stands at this juncture of the season, regardless of where the team winds up eight weeks from now.

"We’re due a win," he said. "And we’re a good enough team we should have won a race or two this year."
 
The wins haven’t come, however, and Earnhardt Jr. prepares to head north for this week’s stop 47 races removed from his last checkered flag in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series. He’s one of four drivers in the 13-driver field that is winless on the season, but he is also one of only four drivers that led the points at one point this year.
 
A strong start pushed him to the top after five weeks, but mistakes behind the wheel, miscues on pit road and mechanical maladies took their toll.
 
"When people ask me about the season, they say we’ve been consistent," he said, "but I don’t feel like we have. … We’ve had issues. It’s either been me making mistakes, calls that … didn’t go our way, engine failures, stuff like that that’s taken a really good car out of the race."
 

Dale Earnhardt Jr. answers a question at the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Tuesday, September 24, 2013.

It was an aggressive approach on the track and in the pits, he said, that put him in contention this past week. "Our strategy was as aggressive as it could have been.
 
"That was the best car I’ve had in practice all year," he said. "That’s what we need. When we don’t tune the car and improve the car on Saturday and when … practice is over and we don’t feel confident about the car, that’s when we’re in trouble. That’s when we can really get ourselves lost."
 
Without a capable car, such a plan of attack is isn’t just risky, it’s ill advised. A two-tire stop in a car "that’s not even competitive with four tires," Earnhardt Jr. said, "it’s going to be very difficult to hold that position and … hold that advantage until you can get four tires back on it. It’s definitely a challenge."
 
Although he finished 10th at Dover earlier this year, Earnhardt Jr. described the run as "not that great."
 
"We’ve had some fast cars there, I’ve had some fast cars there in my career and had some good runs," he said, "but in the last several trips we really just haven’t been able to find the magic.
 
"I think we ran a little bit better this last trip … and I think we’re a better team now than we were in the spring."

Late-race mistake costs No. 24 team in Chase’s Round 2

LOUDON, N.H. — This one’s on his shoulders.
 
Jeff Gordon‘s chances at victory and a shot at putting himself back in the thick of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup battle slid from his grasp just past the 200-lap mark in Sunday’s Sylvania 300.
 
"I’m highly disappointed in myself," Gordon said on the heels of a 15th-place finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

A week after a hard-fought sixth-place finish at Chicagoland Speedway propelled Gordon from dead last in the 13-car Chase field to a much more stable seventh, this miscue was costly. Twenty-four points behind red-hot Matt Kenseth (winner of both Chase races thus far) after last week, the 42-year-old now trails by 42.
 
"The team put me in a great position. We had a decent car and then track position made it into a great car. So it was obviously important to maintain that," he said.
 
Instead, the single slip took the four-time NASCAR Cup champion from first to 24th in the running order.
 
Pitting with the lead following the day’s fifth caution — this one for debris — Gordon drove too deep into his pit box, the front of his No. 24 Chevrolet barely crossing the front line. Seconds passed as his team pushed his car back into the box before it could begin service.
 
"I just came in and slid through. I hadn’t come close to sliding through all day and I guess just leading, I carried a little bit more speed in there and crossed the splitter over the line by an inch and that’s all it takes to make a difference between a chance at winning and finishing 15th," he said.
 
No argument ensued. The infraction was obvious. "I saw the (NASCAR) official react," Gordon said, "and I knew we were in trouble."
 
Although he led 36 laps on the 1.058-mile track before the stumble, Gordon was unable to race his way to the front following the setback. He slowly inched his way closer to the top 10, climbing as high as 13th at one point.
 
But track position proved too difficult to obtain and Kenseth proved too fast.
 
"If Kenseth keeps doing what he’s doing, it’s not going to matter what anybody else does," Gordon said of the Joe Gibbs Racing driver, now 2-for-2 in this year’s Chase.
 
The performances of his own cars and team have been more than up to par, he said, giving him hope that at least a top-five points finish is still attainable. Those in front of him aren’t exactly slugs, so the going won’t be easy. But only six points separate Gordon and fourth-place Carl Edwards.
 
"For us, we have to be realistic and look at our points position and outcome and right now we’re not that far out of fourth, so that’s a realistic goal for us. But anything is possible. We go to these next several races and go on a tear, who knows? But we’re higher in points than where we started this thing so we’ll just keep that going.
 
"I think we are very capable of doing it but the driver can’t make mistakes. … I made a crucial one and I can’t allow that to happen."
 
Gordon has one or more wins on all eight of the remaining tracks in the Chase. The last of his 87 career victories, however, came nearly a year ago, in the season-ending race at Homestead, Fla.
 
The series moves to Dover International Speedway this week. What took place at Loudon will be yesterday’s news soon enough, he said. He won’t dwell on what could have been.
 
"I’ve been doing this for 20-some years, man. It’s not like I’ve never made mistakes before but you just hate to make them at a crucial time like that," said Gordon. "So I’m very disappointed.
 
"And I’ll be disappointed until we get to Dover and start working on Dover."

FORT WORTH, Texas (Sept. 23, 2013) – Road improvements totaling more than $1.1 billion along Highway 114 will provide substantial advances to the ingress and egress of traffic flow for race fans visiting Texas Motor Speedway.

The improvements along Highway 114 – the speedway’s main thoroughfare for fans east of Texas Motor Speedway – have continued to take shape as some projects will reach completion by November’s AAA Texas 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series tripleheader weekend while the balance will be complete before the April 2014 NASCAR race weekend. The additional lanes along Highway 114 are expected to further improve the traffic flow during the AAA Texas 500 weekend and beyond. 

“That should put the old myth about traffic issues away forever,” Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage said. “Long lines of traffic are a thing of the past and the improved access along the speedway’s most important highway will certainly catch the attention of fans.”

The near completion of the DFW Connector project, one of the most complex construction projects in Dallas/Fort Worth history, has untangled an eight-mile stretch of highways 114 and 121 that run through nearby Grapevine. The construction project has made steady progress in alleviating traffic problems since it first began in October 2009.

The completion of the DFW Connector project in October also will provide improved traffic flow for fans traveling from Dallas and points west of Texas Motor Speedway.

“We used to tell our Dallas fans to take I-35E North to Denton and then take I-35W South to the speedway,” Gossage said. “We don’t have any hesitation to tell fans now to take 114 West from Dallas all the way to the speedway. The improvements have made it smooth sailing for fans.”

Road improvements also have continued to take shape closer to the speedway with the Highway 114 Construction Project and Highway 114/170 expansion project, which surpass a combined total of $53.3 billion.

The Highway 114 Construction Project targets the stretch of highway west of I-35W and covers the road east of FM 156, including a key segment in front of Texas Motor Speedway. The $18 million project will expand the two-lane road into a four-lane frontage road and is set to be completed at the end of next year.

The Highway114/170 expansion project will provide a revamped interchange to improve traffic flow and alleviate congestion at the intersection of 114 and Trophy Lake Dr. in Trophy Club. The project begins at the intersection of Business Highway 114 and continues west, just beyond Westlake Parkway and Trophy Club Drive. 

“We appreciate the hard work and ongoing efforts of the entire team at the Texas Department of Transportation,” Gossage said. “These projects go a long way in enhancing the fan experience.”

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Texas 500 Moving From Saturday Night Race To Sunday Afternoon April 6 Event During NCAA Final Four For Ultimate Sports Weekend

FORT WORTH, Texas (Sept. 23, 2013) – The 2014 motorsports schedule for Texas Motor Speedway will once again feature the eighth race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup with November’s AAA Texas 500, but also includes variations to its spring NASCAR doubleheader weekend and annual INDYCAR race.

The Texas 500 NASCAR doubleheader schedule will be modified to provide both local and visiting fans the ultimate sports weekend with the NCAA Final Four tournament semifinals also being staged that weekend in Arlington.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Texas 500 has been run Saturday evening the past three years, but will return to its traditional Sunday afternoon slot for only the 2014 season. The shift to Sunday, April 6, will avoid a head-to-head conflict with the college semifinal basketball games scheduled for Saturday, April 5, and also allow fans that are visiting the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex for the college basketball tournament the opportunity to enjoy some NASCAR racing, in particular the Texas 500 since there are no NCAA Final Four games that day.

Texas Motor Speedway also will tweak the traditional NASCAR race weekend schedule and run the O’Reilly Auto Parts 300 Nationwide Series race the evening of Friday, April 4, while The Dallas Morning News SportsDay Qualifying Day for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will take place the afternoon of Saturday, April 5. The on-track activity officially begins Thursday, April 3, with a pair of Nationwide Series practices and The Dallas Morning News SportsDay Qualifying Day for the Nationwide Series set for Friday, April 4.With the NCAA semifinals scheduled for Saturday, April 5, and the championship game for the evening of Monday, April 6, the race schedule changes provide a unique opportunity for a dynamic sports weekend in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

The INDYCAR/NASCAR doubleheader remains in its traditional slot – two weeks after the Indianapolis 500 on June 5-7 – but IndyCar Series race fans literally will get more mileage out of their visit next season. “America’s Original Nighttime IndyCar Race” will have an additional 50 kilometers of race action and be retitled the Firestone 600 to reflect the change in the race distance.

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will be paired with the IndyCar Series for the 18th consecutive season, dating to the speedway’s opening in 1997. The WinStar World Casino And Resort 400 will be held the evening of Friday, June 6, along with IndyCar Series qualifying.  The race week kicks off Thursday, June 5, with practice and qualifying for the WinStar World Casino And Resort 400. The weekend culminates with the Firestone 600 IndyCar Series race the evening of Saturday, June 7.

The Texas Motor Speedway season concludes once again with a NASCAR tripleheader spiced with playoff-type drama as the AAA Texas 500 race week is set for Oct. 30-Nov. 2. The weekend will feature the AAA Texas 500, the eighth race in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup since its debut in 2005, on Sunday, Nov. 2. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will be joined by its other top-tier series as the Camping World Truck Series WinStar World Casino And Resort 350 will be held the evening of Friday, Oct. 31, and the Nationwide Series O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge on Saturday, Nov. 1.

Pole qualifying for the NSCS AAA Texas 500 and NCWTS WinStar World Casino And Resort 350 will be held Friday, Oct. 31, while the NNS O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge qualifying will be held Saturday, Nov. 1. The race week officially begins Thursday, Oct. 30, with a pair of NCWTS practices.

Official start times and television partners for each event will be announced at a later date.

The 2014 season also will feature the debut of the world’s largest HD video board – Big Hoss TV – beginning with April’s Texas 500 race weekend. The video board, which will be built by Panasonic, will boast 20,666.64 square feet of 1080p HD display. The screen will be 218 feet wide by 94½ feet tall, but the actual height of the structure will rise to nearly 125 feet above ground level with its support structures. The 108-ton video board will be located in the center of the backstretch behind the grandstands. For a sneak preview of the Big Hoss TV promotional trailer, please visit https://www.texasmotorspeedway.com/at-track/speedway-facilities/big-hoss.

Season tickets, which consist of three race weekends and 16 events, begin as low as $270 for adults and $150 for children 12 and under and go on sale in conjunction with the schedule announcement. Season ticketholder benefits include best seat selection; discounts up to 29 percent (varies on seat location) over purchasing tickets individually; special discounts on concessions, merchandise, camping, parking and pit passes; access to the pre-race “No Limits” Garage Party presented by WinStar World Casino in April and November; and special offers on additional events held at the speedway. 

Current season ticket holders will have first chance at renewing their seats or relocating for the best site lines of Big Hoss TV, in conjunction with the schedule announcement.  The 2014 season ticket packages for new accounts will go on sale during the AAA Texas 500 race weekend of Oct. 31-Nov. 3.

Individual race tickets will go on sale Feb. 14. Due to expected ticket demand for the debut of Big Hoss TV, priority reservations will be given to 2013 season ticket holders, 2013 AAA Texas 500 4-Pack purchasers upgrading to 2014 season tickets, new 2014 season ticket purchasers, 4-Pack purchasers for the upcoming AAA Texas 500 and individual ticket purchasers for the AAA Texas 500, respectively.
