Brad Keselowski has found himself in a slump that stretches even further than Kyle Busch’s current rough patch. While the comparison doesn’t lie in wins — Keselowski did notch a victory last year, unlike Busch — his trademark speed has been missing in action. This season, in particular, has been a dry spell. Despite narrowly missing the top ten with an 11th-place finish at Las Vegas, the 2012 Cup champion remains winless, without a single top-five, top-10, pole, or lap led so far.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s driver, Sammy Smith, who got into a big controversy after the Martinsville race, where he initiated last-lap chaos, managed to turn the tide at Rockingham Raceway last week. Though he initially crossed the line in second, Jesse Love, the first to the checkered flag, was stripped of his win after his car failed post-race inspection due to a rear suspension violation. The twist handed the victory to Sammy Smith.

Kyle and Samantha Busch have survived a storm many couples know all too well — infertility.

With the help of IVF and surrogacy, however, they turned the tide. Today, they are proud parents to Brexton and Lennix. More importantly, they have channeled their past pain into a purpose in life.

Every NASCAR driver has a track type that plays to their strengths. Consider drivers such as Shane van Gisbergen, Chase Elliott, and Martin Truex Jr., who often lean toward road courses. But someone like a Denny Hamlin tends to favor intermediate or short oval tracks. On the other hand, Bubba Wallace — given his consistent showings at Daytona — would likely tip the scales in favor of superspeedways. However, their spouses may or may not always share the same enthusiasm.

At 44, Katherine Legge is dipping her toes into NASCAR — first with the Cup Series and more recently, this past weekend, in the Xfinity Series. In her Cup appearance, she tangled with Josh Berry, which spun her into the middle of the track, just as Daniel Suarez charged down the same lane — an incident that threw a wrench into his race. Legge’s Xfinity run at Rockingham fared no better; after a run-in with William Sawalich, she ended the day in 36th, logging only 50 laps.
