Carl Edwards (No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Arris Toyota Camry) won the the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina Sunday night. The "throwback" event celebrating NASCAR's past turned into an endurance contest unfortunately, because of a track-record eighteen cautions. Brad Keselowski (No. 2 Team Penske Miller High Life Ford Fusion) finished second after leading the most laps, Denny Hamlin (No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Sport Clips Toyota Camry) was third and Joey Logano (No. 22 Team Penske Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion) came in fourth.

The famed Wood Brothers Racing team were clearly the best dressed for NASCAR's Darlington "throwback" weekend. The Woods showed up in old-school uniforms, with original team members Leonard and Delano Wood on pit road for the start of the race, holding the same pit boards the team used for most of its eight Darlington victories. Unfortunately the team's No. 21 Snap-on Ford Fusion - with its way-cool mosaic paint scheme made up of countless historic images - wound up 30th at the finish, as rookie Ryan Blaney who, after running around the top fifteen for much of the first 100 laps, earned his first Darlington stripe, which led to the team falling four laps behind the leaders.

Bugatti will present its virtual concept Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo at the 66th International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt. The Bugatti was developed in cooperation with Polyphony Digital Inc., creator of the Gran Turismo video game franchise, as a real show car. Bugatti says that the design of the virtual race car celebrates Bugatti’s racing history and is based on state-of-the-art motor sport technology. The project is the brand’s tribute to its great racing tradition of the 1920s and 1930s and its victories in Le Mans 24-hour races.
