Next Weekend's Race

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to yet another short track and then we head to the huge Talladega Superspeedway. Another Short track could be good for teams like BK Racing, Circle Sport Leavine Family Racing, Front Row Motorsports, along with a few other Underfunded teams who have so far ran very well at the Short Tracks and Superspeedways. Kurt Busch is still winless going into the race he won in 2015. Can Kurt take another win at Richmond?
