There may not be a larger misnomer in racing than Nashville Superspeedway.

Go Canada Racing will make its Nationwide Series debut this weekend at Nashville Superspeedway. Go Canada Racing is the only current NASCAR national series team with a Canadian owner, businessman Steve Meehan, and a Canadian driver, rising Canadian NASCAR star J.R. Fitzpatrick.

Officials of Rusty Wallace Racing announced Monday the team will field a third Toyota Camry in a partial 2011 Nationwide Series schedule.

Due to a lack of sponsorship, the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota and driver Joey Logano were not originally scheduled to run this weekend at Nashville Superspeedway. But with the addition of Harvest Investments, LLC & Harvest-Properties.com, Logano will drive the No. 20 in Saturday's race.

In a wild ending that had Mike Wallace's Chevrolet spinning upside down and landing on its roof, Kyle Busch won Saturday's Aaron's 312 Nationwide Series race at Talladega Superspeedway when a caution flag on Lap 124 froze the field.

Kevin Harvick Inc. continued its restrictor-plate mastery by sweeping the front row during qualifying for Saturday's running of the Aaron's 312 Nationwide Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.

Brian Scott doesn't want to make the same mistake twice.

Joe Gibbs Racing announced Thursday that Kelly Bires will drive two races for its No. 18 Nationwide Series team as part of a partnership with International Comfort Products.

Just because something is a cliché doesn't mean it's not true. Racing at Talladega is a gamble. It's a crap shoot. It's a roll of the dice.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Carl Edwards held off tenacious Brad Keselowski to win Friday night's O'Reilly Auto Parts 300 at Texas Motor Speedway.

Yes, that is Kenny Wallace sitting eighth in the Nationwide Series point standings as the series heads to Texas Motor Speedway for Friday night's O'Reilly Auto Parts 300.

Well, the college basketball season is over. I know all of you had UConn winning the whole thing in your brackets. My Michigan Wolverines took a big step toward getting back to their old winning ways by making it to the round of 32 this year. They have a long way to go to get back to the days of Glen Rice, but it's a start.

Since 1958, NASCAR has awarded top performing first-year drivers the distinction of rookie of the year. In 2011, there's a new twist in the race for the coveted rookie title as Sunoco steps up to fuel a new generation of young racing talent.

The No. 2 Kevin Harvick Inc. team has really been rolling the past two weeks. With two top-five finishes at Bristol and Fontana, I can't wait to get to one of my favorite tracks on the circuit this weekend, Texas Motor Speedway. It was nice to have an off weekend. As many of you know, I am a huge basketball fan. Even though my North Carolina Tar Heels were knocked out of the tournament early, I did get the chance to fly to Houston for the men's Final Four. It was an opportunity to see the best in men's college basketball compete and lucky for me, I was able to go and support a long time friend.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Pastrana-Waltrip Racing announced Thursday that David Reutimann will drive the No. 99 in the April 8 Nationwide race at Texas Motor Speedway while Ryan Truex recovers from wrist surgery.

FONTANA, Calif. -- Kyle Busch used pit strategy to keep a litany of streaks intact Saturday at Auto Club Speedway.

There was a time not too long ago Dale Earnhardt Jr. would have considered a top-10 a victory. The past two seasons, top-10 finishes were few and far between for NASCAR's most popular driver. But with three consecutive finishes of 11th or better, Earnhardt comes into the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway with a different mindset than his past few visits to the 2-mile track located near the base of the San Gabriel Mountains.

For Jason Leffler, it's always nice to come home to Southern California, but coming home as the Nationwide Series points leader puts a little more pep in his step.
