Driver departures mean changes for NASCAR

Goodbye Dale Jarrett. Hello Juan Pablo Montoya.

NASCAR’s old guard is fast disappearing, making way for a cadre of hot, young driving stars.

Bill Elliott and Mark Martin are only racing part time these days. Dale Jarrett plans to retire after the first five races, and Sterling Marlin might be forced to find a rocking chair if he can’t find a full-time ride.

Longtime fan favorite Darrell Waltrip retired after the 2000 season, and Rusty Wallace, Terry Labonte and Ricky Rudd have since followed.

Hendrick, Gibbs face engine problems at Daytona

Those powerful, seemingly unbeatable Hendrick Motorsports cars had major engine problems Wednesday during practice for the Daytona 500.

Two-time defending NASCAR champion and pole-sitter Jimmie Johnson, four-time series champ Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Casey Mears all were forced to change engines because of a lifter problem likely caused by a bad batch of coating.

Scott Riggs, driving for Haas CNC Racing and using Hendrick power, also swapped engines.
