NASCAR - Kansas

 

NASCAR - Kansas - Hollywood Casino 400 - good racing, something we haven't seen in a while with NASCAR. It may look like Kevin Harvick dominated the race, with the pole, most laps lead and the win, but he had to fight his way back after being caught a lap down from making green flag pit stop. Between good pit strategy and hard driving the #29 driver made it back to the front and ran away.
There was racing everywhere around the track, good racing enjoyed all the different leaders, and the different pit strategies Kyle Busch and Ryan Newman to of the chasers that took hard hits today, both in the race and the points. Finishing 34th and 35th respectfully, Kyle lost 2 positions to 5th and Ryan dropped 5 positions to 11th, the biggest loser this week.

Congratulations Kevin Harvick!!!
