CONCORD, N.C. -- Danica Patrick made it official Friday afternoon here at Charlotte Motor Speedway that she will again run a partial NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule along with her full-time job competing in the IZOD IndyCar Series.

While all the specifics have yet to be worked out, she could run up to 14 Nationwide Series races that wouldn't conflict with the IndyCar schedule or other contractual obligations.

Her JR Motorsports team did confirm she will compete in first four races of the 2011 season -- at Daytona, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Bristol, Tenn., where she will compete for the first time on the challenging half-mile track.

Until the IndyCar Series confirms its final race of the season, JR Motorsports team isn't ready to release her exact stock car schedule in the No. 7 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet.

"It's a very similar framework to this year based on my contract and what's available (on the schedule),'' Patrick said before heading out to the 1.5-mile Charlotte oval to qualify for Friday night's Nationwide race.

"I'm really excited.''

CONCORD, N.C. -- With trash on his radiator grille and four worn tires, Brad Keselowski ran away from the field in the final laps of the Dollar General 300 Friday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The Nationwide Series points leader padded his lead as he took his fifth victory of the year and his 11th career win. It was his first checkered flag at the 1.5-mile Charlotte track.

Keselowski now leads Carl Edwards in the Nationwide championship points race by an almost-insurmountable 450 points with four races remaining. Edwards finished 13th.

Keselowski led 46 laps, including the final 35 laps, and won by about 10 car lengths, or 1.137 seconds, over Martin Truex Jr. Finishing third was Justin Allgaier, followed by Joey Logano and Clint Bowyer.

"I'm so mentally exhausted after this race," Keselowski said. "I thought that was the best race I've ever seen in my life. That was awesome."

I have three pictures MODIF suzuki shogun 125 sp which is roughly the image when the motor modification in the title contest. The best picture is the number three. because I see a modification of the bike is very unique and beautiful clean look to the eye and have a high selling value. because the price of the modification of the motor is more expensive than the original motor from the factory.

After a seemingly endless holdout, and countless rumors of an imminent signing, Aprilia have finally announced a new deal with 2010 World Superbike champion Max Biaggi. The deal had been long anticipated, and the announcement was expected to come at Aprilia's special championship celebration, which took place at Noale on Saturday, but was delayed until after the weekend so as not to get snowed under in a deluge of news from this weekend's MotoGP round at Phillip Island. And so the announcement finally came on Monday.

The deal sees Biaggi remain with Aprilia for the next two season, meaning that the Roman Emperor intends to be racing until he the age of 41. There had been some speculation that Biaggi had decided to retire, but the most important factor behind his decision to renew is the fact that Aprilia are keeping the team together, which is based around the team that helped the Roman to his four 250cc World Championships. If Biaggi wins the title again in 2011, it would make him the oldest World Superbike champion ever, taking that honor from Troy Bayliss.

Below is the text of the press release from Aprilia:

It appears the decision the world has been waiting for has finally been taken: According to MCN's Matt Birt, Valentino Rossi will be allowed to test the Ducati at Valencia. It appears that Rossi was told by Masao Furusawa on Saturday night that he would be allowed to test after the final MotoGP round of the year.

The decision had been almost inevitable, but Yamaha had been holding off on announcing for as long as possible. It has long been customary for factories to allow their departing riders to test for their new teams after the final race, the only exception in recent history being Valentino Rossi, after he left Honda to join Yamaha. Ducati had already set an example by releasing Casey Stoner early to test for Honda, the team he joins for 2011, and Rossi had expected Yamaha to do the same. Yamaha, however, had been playing their cards close to their chest, in part as this was the only leverage they had over Rossi to ensure he did not hinder his teammate Jorge Lorenzo's bid for the 2010 championship.

The three flyaway races at Motegi, Sepang and Phillip Island on three consecutive weekends have taken their toll on the grid, with Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa missing all three races after fracturing a collarbone at Motegi, and Rizla Suzuki's Loris Capirossi ruled out of the Phillip Island MotoGP race due to a torn muscle suffered during qualifying, adding to a fractured foot and ankle from a crash at Sepang. Pedrosa is almost certain to rejoin the grid at Estoril in 10 days' time, but Loris Capirossi is now looking doubtful for the Portuguese Grand Prix.

Reports from Italy are saying that further injuries have been discovered in Capirossi's injured ankle. The Italian veteran underwent a medical examination on his return home to Monaco, where an MRI scan revealed a fracture in his heel as well as microfracture in the 4th metatarsal bone in his foot. Though Capirossi is said to be determined to do whatever it takes to race in Portugal, the injuries are such that racing that soon could be impossible. Capirossi will undergo another examination by the medical staff of the Estoril circuit, who will decide whether Capirossi is fit to race or not.

Filed under: Tony Stewart, NASCAR Sponsors, NASCAR

NASCAR owner-driver Tony Stewart announced Tuesday that his No. 14 Chevrolet will begin carrying Mobil 1 as a co-primary sponsor in the 2011 Sprint Cup Series season.

The multi-year deal will put Mobil 1 on the hood of the two-time Cup champ Stewart's Chevy for 11 races and it will serve as associate sponsor for the other 25 races that co-sponsor Office Depot will headline for the team.

ExxonMobil will also provide engineering support to Stewart-Haas Racing and Mobil 1 will be an associate sponsor on the team's second car, the No. 39 Chevy driven by Ryan Newman.

"As a team owner, I'm absolutely thrilled to add such a respected technology partner to our race team,'' Stewart said two days after collecting his second win of the Sprint Cup season in Fontana, Calif.

"And as a driver, it's exciting to partner with a brand that has such an incredible racing pedigree.''

Mobil 1 is completing the last year of its sponsorship on Penske Racing's No. 77 Dodge driven by former Indy 500 winner Sam Hornish Jr. It is the "Official Motor Oil of NASCAR.'' It replaces longtime Stewart sponsor Old Spice, which announced earlier this season it would not be renewing its sponsor contract.
