He Just Wins
Some people just love to hate Jimmie Johnson. Well, the five-time Sprint Cup champ -- who won his record fourth All-Star Race -- has a message for his critics: Whatever.
You Can Dream
What would you do if you were NASCAR czar for one day? Our guy knows exactly what he'd do. He'd shake up the Cup schedule (Iowa, anyone?) and the Chase.
Brothers' Bond
It has been nearly a month since Hendrick Motorsports employee Andrew Collier lost his brother, slain MIT police officer Sean Collier. The hurt is still there. But so are so many fond memories.
Power Rankings
Matt Kenseth is the season's first three-time winner in the Sprint Cup Series. Oh, he's also the driver to beat in our weekly Power Rankings.
