When Kurt Busch and Penske Racing mutually agreed to part ways following the incidents at Homestead many noticed there was a lack of quality replacements. The trio of drivers believed to be at the top of Penske?s list included David Ragan, Brian Vickers and David Reutimann however none may be as good as the driver that Busch eventually replaces.
David Ragan broke into the win column this year with a win at Daytona in July but missed the Sprint Cup Chase again and had his tenure at Roush Fenway Racing summed up as a disappointment by team owner Jack Roush.
Brian Vickers 2011 season wound up as a highlight of angst against other drivers and he vowed to be the sheriff of the NASCAR garage. Ultimately the law found himself out of a ride when his team closed up shop after failing to find a perspective owner.
Then there is the case of David Reutimann who was virtually invisible all season. Reutimann had won a race in each of the past two years but managed a lone top-5 on the year an...

Biffle goes to the dogs for parade
Greg Biffle (photo courtesy of NASCAR Media)Fans of NASCAR driver Greg Biffle won?t have to wait until the 2012 race season gets underway to get a glimpse of their favorite driver on television. Biffle plans to ride on the Natural Balance Pet Foods float during the Rose Parade on Jan. 2 in Pasadena, Calif. ?I can?t wait to see the float,? Biffle said. ?I?ve heard a lot about this year?s float, and I?ve seen video of the floats from the last couple of years. Biffle will be joined on the 116 ft.-long float by surfing dogs, including Tillman, the World?s Fastest Skateboarding Bulldog. ?Tillman came to our shop at Roush Fenway Racing last month, and we got to see him skateboard. I heard he?ll be surfing on the float this year, so I can?t wait to see that,? Biffle said. Biffle?s charitable foundation, the Greg Biffle Foundation, was created to raise awareness and serve as an advocate for improving the well-being of animals and one of the foundation?s top fundraisers is its annual NASCAR ...

Our cameras tagged along Wednesday as members of the Clippers organization participated in a community out-reach program teaching exercises at Forty-second Street Elementary School before visiting with the soldiers at Los Angeles Air Force Base.

Below is raw footage of Jordan and Griffin finding out about the Paul deal and the group's ensuing celebration:

Kurt Busch in Richard Petty's Ride?
I must say, I've followed NASCAR for decades, but this has certainly been the most bizarre of silly seasons. I mean, the dominoes are still falling nearly month after the 2011 Sprint Cup season ended. This Kurt Busch situation has dominated the NASCAR off-season headlines. Who won the title again? Just kidding Tony Stewart fans, as I've mentioned that his championship run was reminiscent to a Dale Earnhardt moment. Anyway, the fact that a driver such as Kurt Busch is a free agent at this point in the year is an extremely rare occurrence. Of course, he only has himself to blame. However, if the rumblings coming from Sirius radio are accurate, his talent and proven resume will put him in a solid ride before Christmas Eve. Richard Petty Motorsports co-owner Andrew Murstein and Chief Operating Officer Robbie Loomis both admitted that they would love to put the 2004 champion in the legendary No. 43 Ford. "I think he's a great competitor who just needs to take a s...
