Storylines
It’s still early in the NASCAR season, but we are already seeing some tight races develop, as well as some big storylines. Of course, there may not be a bigger story in NASCAR right now than the feud between Joey Logano and Kyle Busch that came to blows just a couple weeks ago. Both racers have a successful history at this track, so that will very likely come into play.
In terms of standings, fans are being treated to a very good match up at the top. Brad Keselowski and Jimmy Johnson have both secured a pair of early wins this year. Many would expect the five-time champion Jimmy Johnson to hold the edge there. However, it is Keselowski who has been dominating the field this year.
