Darlington's Nextel Cup race on Saturday, May 7, will be called the Dodge Charger 500."

Tony Stewart was the winner of the two-day, 12-driver charity Texas Hold 'Em Poker tournament held at the Palms Casino as part of Michael Waltrip's "Operation Marathon" fund-raising efforts. Ryan Newman was second.

Ricky Craven's annual charity snowmobile ride in Maine raised $185,225 over the weekend, pushing the event past the $1 million mark in its eight-year history.

Actor Ashton Kutcher will serve as the honorary starter for this year's Daytona 500.
