Roush Fenway Racing has signed Matt Kenseth to a multi-year contract extension. Kenseth, the 2003 Cup Series champion, has been with Roush Fenway since 1998 and has 16 wins in 328 starts.

A season that started off with so much promise ended a little too quietly for 23-year-old Kyle Busch.

Most drivers are looking forward to getting some rest now that the 2008 season is over. Robby Gordon isn't among them.

Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards opened the 2008 season intent on knocking Jimmie Johnson from the top of NASCAR.

U.S. Auto Club driver Cameron Dodson has been critically injured in a crash along a rural Hancock County road.

Petty Enterprises, The Wood Brothers, Bill Davis Racing and Ernie Elliott's engine shop all reduced their staffs in the two days since Sunday's season finale.

Hall of Fame Racing, the NASCAR team owned by Arizona Diamondbacks executives, will cut its staff even if it secures sponsorship to run a full 2009 season.

If veteran crew chief Larry Carter earned his "master builder's certificate" for what he engineered in the second half of the 2008 Sprint Cup season with Jamie McMurray at Roush Fenway Racing, he has an even more ambitious project ahead of him.

On Lap 208 of Sunday night's Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, crew chief Steve Letarte ordered up a gas-only pit stop for the No. 24 Chevrolet driven by Jeff Gordon.

He conserved the fuel. He won the race. He did the backflip. He took home the trophy. If Carl Edwards had a list of things to do on his dashboard during Sunday's Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, he completed the checklist by the end of 267 laps.
