(AP) -- Jimmie Johnson will go for a record fourth consecutive NASCAR title from the pole in the season-ending Ford 400 this weekend.Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:36:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tom_bowles/08/20/2010_Chase/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tom_bowles/08/20/2010_Chase/index.htmlWith the race for the Chase heating up, media attention has understandably shifted to the 15 or so men fighting for a dozen playoff spots. But before the playoff push overwhelms the rest of the field, there are a handful of others we need to salute. They may not be competing for this season-ending trophy, but by this time next year, they could be in the thick of the Chase hunt.Thu, 20 Aug 2009 18:24:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tim_tuttle/08/05/Team_US/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tim_tuttle/08/05/Team_US/index.htmlTeam US F1 mobilized this week for the 2010 Formula One World Championship. Announced in late February, the team founded by Ken Anderson and Peter Windsor finally completed the lengthy F1 approval process with the signing of the Concorde Agreement.Thu, 06 Aug 2009 18:58:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tom_bowles/07/21/Silly_season_grades/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tom_bowles/07/21/Silly_season_grades/index.htmlWith midsummer already upon us, there's a lot of talk about what's going to happen to drivers, teams, and owners for 2010 and beyond. But in a sport in which news and rumors are now a 24/7 business, we often forget to stop and think about how the changes made during last Silly Season panned out.Tue, 21 Jul 2009 22:11:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/mark_beech/07/03/Racing_Fan/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/mark_beech/07/03/Racing_Fan/index.htmlI first caught Scott Speed's act last January, when I was in Charlotte for NASCAR's annual preseason media tour. It was an evening Red Bull event, and Speed addressed the press from a comfy couch, wearing shades and a button-down shirt open to about mid-torso. The California native, who was coming off of a two-year stint on the F1 circuit (where he went winless in 28 starts), seemed very conscious of projecting a laid-back vibe, greeting the media with, "What up, dog?"Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:09:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tom_bowles/07/02/Mayfield/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tom_bowles/07/02/Mayfield/index.htmlIn reading over the decision yesterday to grant a temporary injunction allowing Jeremy Mayfield to race, the song that came to mind was REM's "Everybody Hurts."Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:56:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tom_bowles/04/17/Hot_Seat/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tom_bowles/04/17/Hot_Seat/index.htmlNASCAR's Silly Season starts earlier and earlier these days, and don't expect 2009 to be an exception to the rule. Remember, we're nearing the one-year anniversary of Tony Stewart's departure from Joe Gibbs Racing, which caused a long chain reaction of free agent dominoes falling before the 36-race regular season was even halfway complete.Fri, 17 Apr 2009 19:25:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tom_bowles/03/12/rookies/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tom_bowles/03/12/rookies/index.htmlAs Joey Logano tore through NASCAR's lower divisions last year, he picked up the nickname Sliced Bread. But as Logano transitioned to NASCAR's top division, that bread turned stale.Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:13:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/bruce_martin/02/02/inside.racing/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/bruce_martin/02/02/inside.racing/index.htmlMOORESVILLE, N.C. -- Another offseason has vanished, seemingly as quickly as a qualification lap at Daytona International Speedway. By the end of this week there will be Sprint Cup cars at Daytona as a new season officially gets underway with Saturday night's Budweiser Shootout and Sunday's run for the Daytona 500 pole.Mon, 02 Feb 2009 21:29:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/racing/11/20/5.minute.guide/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/racing/11/20/5.minute.guide/index.htmlOf course, seasons can be made or broken on any given lap of every race, but even before the first engines fire for the new season, a handful of races loom as key moments. Mark your calendars for these five.Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:21:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/bruce_martin/11/10/weekend.wrapup/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/bruce_martin/11/10/weekend.wrapup/index.htmlAVONDALE, Ariz. -- One of the greatest combinations in NASCAR Sprint Cup history will come to an end this weekend when Tony Stewart competes in his final race for Joe Gibbs Racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway.Mon, 10 Nov 2008 20:09:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/tom_bowles/10/09/future/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/tom_bowles/10/09/future/index.htmlRegan Smith's near-miss and Patrick Carpentier's firing this week illustrated just how tough a year it's been for Cup rookies. As I wrote toward the end of the summer, the 2008 freshman class is headed for the worst performance in NASCAR's 60-year history. After being stripped of a win at Talladega, Smith's penalty added insult to injury, negating what would have been the first top 10 finish by a full-time rookie this season (he wound up 18th).Thu, 09 Oct 2008 20:47:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/tom_bowles/09/25/free.agents/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/tom_bowles/09/25/free.agents/index.htmlAs summer turns to fall, NASCAR's Silly Season is a little bit like a department store going out of business. All merchandise needs to be cleared out at bargain basement prices; and by the time you get to its final days, there's next to nothing left to shop for.Thu, 25 Sep 2008 19:51:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/tim_tuttle/09/23/inside.nascar/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/tim_tuttle/09/23/inside.nascar/index.htmlSitting in the Bill Davis Racing transporter Saturday afternoon, two hours before driving in NASCAR's Craftsman Truck Series race at Las Vegas, Scott Speed reiterated that he's in no rush to get into Sprint Cup.Tue, 23 Sep 2008 18:53:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/brant_james/07/30/inside.racing/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/brant_james/07/30/inside.racing/index.htmlThe promiscuous business of wooing and retaining drivers for the 2009 season and beyond will underpin much of the current Sprint Cup season, even with 16 weeks remaining. This so-called "Silly Season" process, a summer rite that has bloomed in spring the past two years, needs little embellishment, but here are a few plausible scenarios that could make things pretty interesting in the near- and far-terms.Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:00:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/brant_james/07/16/racing/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/brant_james/07/16/racing/index.htmlIt once seemed like America in microcosm, a high-banked land of opportunity where a hard-worker with a gleam in his eye and lead in his foot could make something of himself, where money and fame flowed like high-octane gasoline.Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:07:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/bruce_martin/06/02/dover/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/bruce_martin/06/02/dover/index.htmlKOONTZ LAKE, Ind. -- It appears that Kyle Busch is getting the last laugh after he was dismissed from Hendrick Motorsports last June to make room for Dale Earnhardt Jr.Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:01:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/brant_james/03/05/scott.speed/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/brant_james/03/05/scott.speed/index.htmlScott Speed is too continental for an American, too American for Europeans.Wed, 05 Mar 2008 22:42:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/tim_tuttle/12/20/long/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/tim_tuttle/12/20/long/index.htmlPorsche has employed, through its sponsored teams or directly, a who's who of drivers in its more than 50 years racing in the U.S. The Americans who were factory drivers for the German manufacturer comprise an exclusive club.

Speed, who was pushed out after a run-in with team management at the European Grand Prix last month, will begin his comeback effort this weekend at Michigan, where he and agent Glen Hinshaw will meet with several NASCAR teams.Thu, 16 Aug 2007 04:04:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/tim_tuttle/06/14/speed/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/tim_tuttle/06/14/speed/index.htmlScott Speed was a participant in the original Red Bull Driver Search of 2002, one of 25 considered for a program to bring an American to Formula One.
