    Today in Nascar History September 25th:

    Winners on this date: Red Byron, Rex White, Fred Lorenzen, Cale Yarborough, Ricky Rudd, Darrell Waltrip, Rusty Wallace, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, and Kevin Harvick.

    September 25th, 1966: Fred Lorenzen wins the Old Dominion 500 at Martinsville but has his win taken away by Nascar after it is discovered that his fuel cell held 23.1 gallons of gas, 1.1 over the limit for the fuel tank. Nascar however, overturns their choice and declares Lorenzen the winner 3 days later.





    September 25th, 2011: In an odd coincidence of role reversal Tony Stewart passes Clint Bowyer with 2 laps to go as he runs out of fuel to take the lead and the victory at New Hampshire.

    September 25th, 2016: Kevin Harvick passes Matt Kenseth on a late race restart to take the victory at New Hampshire locking himself into the 2nd round of the chase. The win is the 34th of Harvick's career passing Fireball Roberts on the all-time wins list.

    Today in Nascar History September 27th:

    Winners on this date: Rex White, Fred Lorenzen, Darrell Waltrip (2 times), Ricky Rudd, Jimmie Johnson, and Matt Kenseth.

    September 27th, 1987: Terry Labonte and Dale Earnhardt crash while battling for the lead on the last lap at Martinsville, allowing Darrell Waltrip to get by and take the victory, his first for Hendrick Motorsports.





    September 27th, 1998: Ricky Rudd cements his place in Nascar history as one of the toughest to ever climb in a racecar by winning at Martinsville. Rudd's cooling system goes out early in the race with the temperature nearly 100 degrees in Virginia. The crew's attempts to pour water on Rudd during a pit stop fail as the water gets down onto the seat and boils. Rudd suffers burns and dehydration but stays in the car and holds on for the win. In victory lane, Rudd takes an IV and does his winner's interview lying on the ground.





    September 27th, 2009: Jimmie Johnson dominates at Dover and completes the season sweep at the Monster Mile for 2009. Rookie Joey Logano survives a wild accident in which his car gets upside down and tumbles down the banking early on in the event.

    Today in Nascar History September 28th:

    Winners on this date: Herb Thomas, Joe Eubanks, Richard Petty, Dave Marcis, Dale Earnhardt, Darrell Waltrip, Geoff Bodine, Jeff Burton, Michael Waltrip, and Jimmie Johnson.

    September 28th, 1952: Herb Thomas wins the 100 mile race at Wilson, NC. The race takes nearly 3 hours to run and has an average speed of 35.398 mph. It is the slowest average speed in Nascar Cup Series history (and probably always will be).



    September 28th 1958: Joe Eubanks, who recently came out of retirement, scores his first ever career Grand National (Cup) series victory by winning at Orange Speedway.



    September 28th, 1975: Popular driver Dave Marcis takes his first career Cup Series victory by winning the Old Dominion 500 at Martinsville.



    September 28th, 1980: Dale Earnhardt takes his 5th career Nascar Cup series victory by winning the Old Dominion 500 at Martinsville. The race is slowed by 17 caution flags, and Earnhardt averages less than 70 mph for the race.



    September 28th, 2003: Michael Waltrip holds off teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the field on a late race restart to win a wild race at Talladega. After the checkers a wreck ensues in turn 1. Also, Elliott Sadler survives one of the scariest looking wrecks in Nascar history as he becomes airborne and spins through the Alabama air before tumbling onto the pavement.






    September 28th, 2008: Jimmie Johnson holds off a charging Carl Edwards to win at Kansas. Edwards runs down Johnson with a few laps to go, then tries a banzai move on the last lap by driving into turn 3 and momentarily passing Johnson before smashing into the wall. Edwards said that was the plan but he didn’t think the wall would slow him down as much as it did.

    September 30th, 2007: In one of the more odd and drawn out races in Nascar history, Greg Biffle takes the win at Kansas as the race ends under caution due to darkness. Biffle coasts across the line on fumes and finishers behind him argue that Biffle didn’t maintain pace speed and shouldn’t have been given the win.

When the race resumes a big crash on the restart hurts Stewart's fender and he eventually crashes as a result.





    September 30th, 2012: Brad Keselowski uses some good fuel mileage to take 1st place late in the going from the dominant cars of the day in Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson, and Denny Hamlin to score his first win at Dover and his 2nd in the chase's first 3 events of 2012.



    September 30th, 2015: Tony Stewart announces that he will retire from the Nascar Sprint Cup Series after the 2016 season. Clint Bowyer is announced as the 3 time champion's replacement.
