NASCAR takes weekend off

All three of NASCAR's major circuits are off for Easter weekend.

Next Sprint Cup race: Toyota Owners 400, April 26, Richmond International Raceway, Richmond, Va., 7 p.m.; TV: Fox; last year's winner: Kevin Harvick.

Track facts: Despite a series-leading two wins, Kevin Harvick is still 22nd in points. As long as Harvick stays in the top 30 in points, he'll make the Chase. He's down in the standings because four of his finishes were from 36th to 42nd (mechanical problems in his No. 4 Chevrolet) . . . Matt Kenseth's two top-five finishes and two top-10s in his last four races put him one point behind leader Jeff Gordon . . . Paul Menard plummeted to 18th in points from 10th after his 41st-place finish at Darlington last Saturday night . . . Four of Travis Kvapil's seven finishes this season have been 33rd.

Wins: Kevin Harvick, 2; Dale Earnhardt Jr., Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Joey Logano, 1 each.
