Austin Dillon and the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing team were having a great day Sunday at Daytona. The 29-year old had won Stage 2 of the race and he was battling for the lead in the final Stage when all hell broke loose. Dillon made an arrant block of Clint Bowyer which triggered a massive pileup and ended the No. 3 car’s day.

What looked to be a good points day at the very least and a potential victory, turned into a 33rd-place finish.

It’s been the story of the season for a team that has produced all year long on qualifying day (three poles), but has failed to back it up on race day (three top-10s in 18 starts). After this latest poor finish, Dillon sits 22nd in the championship standings and he is fading fast from mathematical contention of making the Playoffs on points.

Dillon’s crew chief made an appearance on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio’s Morning Drive, and the outspoken leader of the team didn’t mince words about his team’s current situation. Continue reading “For Austin Dillon’s Crew Chief Danny Stockman Jr. It’s All About Wins Now”

As you can expect, a ton of passionate Kurt Busch fans were rather peeved after their favorite driver pitted from the lead in Sunday’s Coke Zero Sugar 400, only to see the race end a lap later due to weather.

Busch and his crew chief Matt McCall mutually decided on the pit stop as NASCAR had given the one lap to green signal.

Then, a lightning strike halted the race. It never restarted. Continue reading “Funny Video: Matt McCall Responds to Criticism For Pitting Kurt Busch at Daytona”
