Sanchez Steals Spotlight After Heim’s Charlotte Truck Blunder

Nick Sanchez capitalized on fresh tires and a timely pit stop to charge from 10th to the lead in the final nine laps and capture his second career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory in Friday night’s North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

“It’s awesome – my No. 2 Gainbridge Chevrolet,” said Sanchez, who also collected a $50,000 bonus as the winner of the first Triple Truck Challenge event. “We started off bad. It didn’t affect us. We went to work and put ourselves in position when it mattered most.” Continue reading Sanchez Steals Spotlight After Heim’s Charlotte Truck Blunder

NASCAR Race Hub to End After 14 Years

After over 14 years on the air, the daily NASCAR news/analysis program NASCAR Race Hub will broadcast its final episode on Fox Sports 1 next month. The one-hour weekday show, which debuted in 2009 on the Speed Channel before moving to FS1 in 2013, is being canceled, with the last edition set to air on June 11th.
