NASCAR SPRINT CUP
Kobalt Tools 500
Site: Hampton, Ga. Schedule: Friday, qualifying (Speed Channel, 3:30 p.m.); Sunday, race (FOX, 10:30 a.m.). Track: Atlanta Motor Speedway (quad-oval, 1.54 miles, 24 degrees banking in turns) Race distance: 500.5 miles, 325 laps. Last race: Carl Edwards’ second consecutive victory was short-lived: His winning Ford Fusion failed a post-race inspection at Las Vegas that could lead to severe penalties for his team. NASCAR officials discovered the lid was not on the oil tank box of his car. Last year: Jimmie Johnson used a late-race charge to catch and pass Tony Stewart three laps from the end and drive away with a victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Fast facts: Johnson will try to become the first driver to win three straight races at Atlanta. He has posted eight top-five finishes and nine top-10 placings in 13 career starts at the track. Last week, Johnson was denied a fourth straight victory at Las Vegas. … Stewart bruised his foot 108 laps into last week’s race when his right front tire failed and he hit the wall. … Ryan Newman is tied with Buddy Baker for most poles at Atlanta with seven, but has not carried any of those into a win. … Edwards swept both Atlanta events in 2005. … Mike Skinner will replace AJ Allmendinger at Red Bull Racing for this weekend’s race. Allmendinger failed to qualify for last week’s race at Las Vegas, making him 0-for-3 on the season. Brian Vickers has made all three races in the other Red Bull car. Next race: Food City 500, March 16, Bristol, Tenn.
