2010 NASCAR Racing Sprint Cup Schedule

Here’s how the 2010 NASCAR Racing Sprint Cup Schedule will go down:

After a day full of practice and qualifying rounds, the first big race of the weekend will be the NASCAR Nationwide Series Royal Purple 200, consisting of 147 laps around the track, totalling 200.8 miles.

• In the past two years of this race, the track had to be extended at the last minute due to a green white checker finish, first in 2008 with Tony Stewart prevailing and then last year with Matt Kenseth edging out that win. Prior to that, both the 2007 and 2006 Royal Purple 200 winner was Denny Hamlin.

The following evening, the Johnny Mantz SHOWTIME Southern 500 trophy will be contested once again at the SHOWTIME Southern 500, this time 367 laps around the track for a total 501.322 mile race course.

• The reigning champion in this race is Mark Martin, who’s become quite a familiar face in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series winners circle, after winning the Royal Purple 200 in 1994 and ’96, and most recently in 2000.

Drivers that are looking sharp for the NASCAR Racing Sprint Cup Races are Jimmie Johnson, the active leader at Darlington, though he has failed to win there since ’04, Jeff Gordon, the active wins leader there, and any of the Childress crew of Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, and Jeff Burton, the latter of which has 2 wins already on this track in his career.
