3. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
NASCAR HEADLINES FUELING FANS THIS SEASON
• The 2015 Sprint Cup came down to the 36th and final race of the
NASCAR season at November’s Ford EcoBoost 400 in Homestead,
Florida. 30 year-old Kyle Busch edged Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, and
Martin Truex, Jr. to win the race and the Sprint Cup championship.
• 2014 Sprint Cup champion Kevin Harvick lost the title but made history
earlier in the 2015 season with eight consecutive top-2 finishes; that run
sits third all-time behind Richard Petty’s 11 straight top-2 finishes set
back in 1975.
• Jeff Gordon also came up just short in 2015, ending his quest for a
fairytale finish. At the start of the Sprint Cup, Gordon announced that
2015 would be his final season. He walks away from the sport with 4
Sprint Cup championships and 93 career wins, the most in NASCAR’s
modern era (1972-present).

In 2015 NASCAR said farewell to Jeff Gordon who took his final victory lap. We haven’t seen
the last of Jeff, however, as he moves into the booth to call the racing action. Taking over for
the famous 24 car will be 2014 Xfinity Series champion Chase Elliot. Elliot, son of famous
NASCAR driver Bill Elliot will battle 2015 Xfinity Series champion Chris Buescher for the
coveted Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year honor. Following in Jeff Gordon’s tire tracks we will
have yet another NASCAR legend racing off into the sunset as 3 time champion Tony Stewart
has decided to hang up his helmet at the end of 2016.

Consumers are upgrading and redecorating in 2014 and are going online for research and inspiration.
The latest Remodeling Market Index (RMI) numbers are out from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), and the fourth quarter of 2013 is at its highest reading since the first quarter of 2004—suggesting that the growth in home equity and home sales prompted home owners to undertake upgrades that they put off during tough times.
