We’ve all seen the headlines of the past few weeks. Richard Petty Motorsports recently laid-off 9 or so employees, the checks have stopped coming from Dodge, err Fiat-Dodge and lately all the talk is about Kasey Kahne turning “Japanese.” Kahne’s win at Infineon is about the only good news of late and it was indeed good news.

As he grew older, Sorenson recalls all the effort Brad and his mother Becky put into his career. Their son started racing at the age of six and worked his way up through the feeder series and now drives the No. 43 Valvoline Dodge for Richard Petty Motorsports. Sorenson hopes a strong run at this weekend’s race at Infineon Raceway wil

Some things you should know: – Clint Bowyer will appear on the March 24th episode of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser.” Isn’t it interesting that the guy that is sponsored by Hamburger Helper is guest starring on a non-reality-reality weight-loss game show?
