We saw a first at Kentucky, a Rookie taking the checkered flag. The last 30 laps were arguably some of the most exciting laps this season - with 4 different leaders, 2 restarts and a last lap pass by the surprising winner. It was the NASCAR equivalent of the Run for the Roses.  As NASCAR prepares for their All Star Race in Thunder Valley, this week’s 6 Degrees of NASCAR Tony will connect the...

The NASCAR Cup Series raced this 4th of July Weekend at the historic Brickyard (Indianapolis Motor Speedway - July 5th). Until a late caution, it seemed like this race would end up, as a replay of last week's Pocono race, with Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick finishing 1 and 2. Unfortunately for Denny, he’ll have to wait another year for a chance at winning at the famed track.  Seems like every...
