He had crafted something of an empire for himself in the Nationwide Series, building a championship-caliber team, turning out race-winning cars on a regular basis, and getting to spend Sundays with his wife and two children. He enjoyed it. He loved it. He had found the perfect balance between home and the competitive arena that is NASCAR, and wasn't knocking on doors looking for a way back onto the Sprint Cup level.

Never in 16 previous full seasons had he failed to win at least one.

While the Sprint Cup tour has moved on from Talladega Superspeedway, the aftereffects of last weekend's accident involving Ryan Newman are still being felt. Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:26:19 EST
