August 31 - Executing their final trade sessions of the season, Griffin Motorsports CEO Lincoln Griffin announced today that he would move Kevin Harvick to alternate status and activate Greg Biffle. Biffle is having a stellar year, with 5 wins and 13 top-10 finishes coming into this weekend's race at California. No changes were made to the FBG Racing roster. 

August 27 - Breaking a losing streak that has lasted since Las Vegas last March, FBG Racing's Matt Kenseth dominated the field to win the Sharpie 500 at Bristol from the pole. Kenseth led 415 of 500 laps, and the 17 team is now in contention for the Chase after struggling through much of the year. This is Matt's first win at Bristol Motor Speedway. 

August 14th - Continuing his red-hot streak, FBG Racing captain Tony Stewart completely dominated the Sirius At The Glen in New York, posting his 5th win in the last 7 races. With qualifying rained out, Tony was able to start at the front of the line as the current points leader, and from the green flag put distance between himself and the rest of the field. A broken alternator gave the Home Depot crew some cause for concern, but after switching batteries and turning off all cooling systems in the car, Tony was able to take the green-white-checkered in stride, and bring home another victory. 

August 7 - FBG Racing captain Tony Stewart made history and fulfilled a boyhood dream when he won the Brickyard 400 (Allstate) at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday. Tony and fellow teammate Kasey Kahne battled for over 30 as the race closed to an end, and crossed the finish line 1-2. This is Stewart's 4th win in 6 races, allowing him to take the Nextel points lead.
