KERRY THARP:  We will roll into our post race for today's 18th running of the Brickyard 400.  Finishing third in today's race is Regan Smith.  Not only was this an outstanding showing by Regan today, third in the Brickyard, let's take a look at some of the things he's done in 2011. Coming into 2011, he had had no prior top 10s.  This year alone he's won the Southern 500, he finished thi... more.

KERRY THARP:  Well go ahead and start.  We have our team owner Richard Childress and crew chief Slugger Labbe.  Winner of today's 18th annual Brickyard 400 is Paul Menard. Slugger, just talk about the ebb and flow of this race.  A lot of strategy towards the end.  Heck of a Brickyard today that we witnessed.  Talk about getting that 27 car to Victory Lane here.

Years ago, as a garage rat at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Paul Menard dreamed of winning a race at the vaunted Brickyard. On Sunday, the dream came true. In a season full of improbable first-time winners in NASCAR’s foremost races, Menard, 30, stretched his fuel mileage and held off charging Jeff Gordon to win the Brickyard 400 at the 2.5-mile track. The victory was Menard’s first as a Spri... more.

Calm, droning racing wasn’t getting it done for Brad Keselowski in Saturday night’s Kroger 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Lucas Oil Raceway. The defending series champion needed a bit of mayhem, and when he got that late in the race, it resulted in his second victory of the season. Keselowski, a non-factor through the middle portion of an atypically unremarkable race at the .686-mile ... more.
