NASCAR - Las Vegas

NASCAR - Las Vegas - Kobalt 400

NASCAR had three headlines for the race 1. "Keslowski Edges Dale Jr. to win at Vegas" Wrong!, 2. "Keslowski passes Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the final lap" Getting closer!!! 3. "Keslowski wins with last-lap pass as Junior goes dry" Got it Right!!! Dale Jr. took a gamble on fuel mileage and came up just a half lap short... running on fumes to sill secure a second place finish the gamble just didn't pay out big... 

Brad Keslowski swept the weekend, pulling out the win in the Nationwide Race yesterday. 

Kevin Harvick last weeks winner had some bad luck with his car, rendering him 41st and dropping him 10 positions to 14th, still well within the current chase rules... Now three drivers have their "Winner" sticker for their cars. Nothing exciting in the is race, 4 cautions 3 of them for debris. 

Paul Menard finished 3rd with a good run in the #27 RCR car.

Congratulations Brad Keslowski!!!

NASCAR - Phoeni

NASCAR - Phoenix - Flat tracks just do not have the excitement of Super Speedways and Daytona was definitely a hard act to follow... Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Brad Keslowski and Joey Lagano were by far the dominate cars on the track today, populating the the top 5 for about all of the race today... Lots of green flag racing and green flag pit stops. A couple of cautions towards the end. The only real racing was on the restarts at the end of the race, when Dale Jr,, Brad and Joey tried to get in front of Kevin. 20 cars finished on the lead lap and only 3 drivers did not finish the race running, Kurt Busch and Parker Klingerman both lost engines toward the end of the race and Morgan Shepherd had brake failure at the beginning.

Congratulations Kevin Harvick!!!
