NASCAR heads home to Charlotte, North Carolina this weekend for the running of the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series All-Star race. Twenty drivers know they will be in the race and two drivers will transfer through the Sprint Showdown with another will join by winning the fan vote. Camping World Truck Series drivers join the fun on All-Star Weekend in Charlotte.

First off this week, I want to take a second and mention the passing of American racing icon. Carroll Shelby. Mr. Shelby was a truly amazing man who says he wasn’t good at anything in particular, but certainly spearheaded some amazing cars and race cars. Rest in peace Mr. Shelby.

Jimmie Johnson found his way back to victory lane for the first time since last October after pulling away from Denny Hamlin in overtime to win the 2012 Bojangles Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway Saturday night.

Sprint Cup point leader Greg Biffle had the fast lap in Friday's qualifying session and will start on the pole at Darlington for the second time in his career in Saturday night's Bojangles Southern 500.
