For an update on the week, read on...

But that doesn't mean his role in adding to the legacy of the longest running team in Nascar history is diminished. A few months before this awesome throwback livery graced the banks of Darlington, Blaney would secure his first career win, and the 99th overall for WBR. This car, no matter how magnificent would still represent a sour note on the season, for more, read on...

A 36th place finish in a wreck-filled, rained shortened summer time race isn't the only thing that this 2014 Chevy SS represents. This one-off paint scheme designed for the Nascar Salutes July 4th weekend was one of several special liveries that were on display for the Coke Zero 400.
