Updated Oct 5, 2011 12:23 AM ET AVONDALE, Ariz. The track is cured and the tires are chosen, but who will win when NASCAR returns to Phoenix International Raceway for the penultimate race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup on Nov. 13? For the 12 teams in the Chase, the key will be figuring out the intricacies of the 1-mile track, which now includes progressive banking through Turns 1 and 2, the end of the dogleg and Turns 3 and 4. “No one knows what to expect; this is the wild card,” Kyle Busch said Tuesday during testing at the [...]

Stewart’s good fortune in 2011 is a stark contrast to his team’s performance in last year’s NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup. Last year, when the Chase kicked off with the Sylvania 300, Stewart led 51 laps before running out of fuel with two laps remaining. He relinquished the lead to Clint [...]
