Older Dominion
has won the pole for this weekend’s Cup race at
Indy, continuing the surprising resurgence of over 50 drivers in the sport this year. This, of course, comes on the heels of
Ron Hornaday’s
fourth win in a row in the
Camping World Truck Series last night.
And on top of Mark Martin qualifying on the pole, Bill Elliott, 53, turned in a great performance qualifying fourth.
It’s an old man’s game this year.
Behind Martin, Juan Pablo Montoya, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Bill Elliott, David Reutimann, Brian Vickers, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Reed Sorenson and Clint Bowyer rounded out the Top 10.
Full starting lineup after the jump.

Go 4 it! Connect Four!
Ron Hornaday, a month removed from his 51st birthday, continued the resurgence of the over 50 crowd in NASCAR this season, winning his fourth Truck Series race in a row at ORP. It helped to extend his points lead to 174 over Mike Skinner now, who finished 2nd. If you’re keeping score, that’s two AARP-eligible drivers atop the Truck points standings now. I thought this was supposed to be a developmental series?
Aric Almirola, Dennis Setzer, Colin Braun, James Buescher, Tayler Malsam, Stacy Compton, David Starr and Kyle Busch rounded out the top 10.
Full results after the jump.

The return of links!
- Orlando Sentinel: Mayfield lawyer: No meth in independent test on NASCAR’s driver
Even though I haven’t been able to write recently, I have been following the Jeremy Mayfield story. Personally, I’m sick to death of the whole ridiculous saga, but it’s still popular and ongoing. The Orlando Sentinel, which is an actual, serious journalistic organization (unlike this ADD site, which is easily distracted by shiny things), has the latest regarding the saga of his “independent” test.
- Motorsports Fanhouse: Goodyear Looks to Rebound After Last Year’s ‘Debacle’ at the Brickyard
I don’t know why everyone keeps putting quotes around the world “debacle” with regards to last year’s race at Indy. It was a debacle in every sense of the word (except the “breaking up of ice in a river” sense, I guess). The tests from earlier this season makes it look like Goodyear actually should have a handle on NASCAR tires at the Brickyard this year, but anything better than last season will be a significant improvement.
- Full Throttle: Caitlin Shaw to Pilot the #1 Tundra at O’Reilly Raceway Park
Full Throttle has the story of 19-year-old Caitlin Shaw who will be debuting in the Truck Series for Red Horse Racing this weekend.
- The NASCAR Insiders: Ask The Insiders Wednesday 33
And finally, the NASCAR Insiders have their weekly question and answer segment. A bit abbreviated from the off weekend, but always good. Check that out.

For the first time all year, a race that left Carl Edwards feeling upside-down. Well, other than Talladega, of course... (AP Photo/Darren Hauck)
wins the
Nationwide Series race at
the Milwaukee Mile.
Kyle Busch led most of the way, only to finish second again. Of course, second to Kyle is “first loser,” which, ironically, is in line with the opinion of a great many NASCAR fans, 88 on their arms or otherwise.
It was a good day for Roush Fenway all around, with all three cars in the Top 5. Ricky Stenhouse led as many laps as Carl did and finished 5th. Erik Darnell ended up with a 4th-place finish, battling Kyle and then Brad Keselowski for the end of the race.
Steven Wallace, Mike Bliss, Stephen Leicht, birthday boy Ron Hornaday, who won earlier in the Truck Series race, and Jason Leffler rounded out the Top 10.
Full results after the jump.

It's just what I wanted!
Ron Hornaday didn’t get want he wanted for his birthday today apparently, so he went out and got himself exactly what he wanted: a win in the Truck Series at the Milwaukee Mile. Hornaday dominated the race, leading 180 of 200 laps. No one had anything for him.
Rounding out the Top 10 were Dennis Setzer, Brian Scott, Todd Bodine, James Buescher, Stacy Compton, Tayler Malsam, Colin Braun, David Starr and Terry Cook.
Full results after the jump.

Glad to hear he's okay.
is in serious but stable condition after a fiery wreck racing an ISMA Supermodified car at
Berlin Raceway. On the first lap, Johnny Benson’s car collided with another driver, where he went driver’s-side first into the outside retaining wall, and then came back down the track, where the car burst into flames. Benson, who was just released from his
Red Horse Racing Truck Series ride, had raced in a late model race at Berlin on Wednesday as well. As of this morning, a
note on Benson’s fan site said:
As of this morning, JB is awake and alert in a Grand Rapids hospital with at least one broken rib. He is being kept for observation. There is no release time as yet.
And finally, here is video of Benson’s crash from WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids.

Wait. Prototype for what? Do I dare ask?
is on the pole for the
Nationwide Series race at
Kentucky Speedway. Interestingly, he was a mere 0.004 seconds faster than his teammate
Kyle Busch, who had to race to his car for qualifying after flying in from Michigan following his
second place finish in the
Truck Series race at
MIS.
So, after the Gibbs front row, you have two full rows of rookies with Justin Allgaier, Michael Annett, Erik Darnell and Brendan Gaughan. Then Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. in 7th, driving the 16 car for Roush, Trevor Bayne in 8th, driving the 99 car for MWR, Brad Keselowski and Carl Edwards round out the rest of the Top 10.
Quick notes: Brian Keselowski wrecked his only car in practice yesterday, and qualified 41st in a borrowed car (he wasn’t making a serious run) and will probably end up starting-and-parking. Stanton Barrett wrecked his car during the second lap of qualifying (even though he already made the field), so they’re hoping to at least he able to get it fixed up enough to get it out there.

Doing Texas proud.
wins the Michigan 200
Truck Series race at
Michigan.
Kyle Busch dominated much of the race, but clean air was the key and when Kyle Busch got caught behind a lead-lap car towards the end, that was enough to let Colin Braun get around him to pick up the win.
This is Braun’s first win in NASCAR, Ford’s first win in the Truck Series this season (and first since Erik Darnell won this race last year) and the first Texan to win in the Truck Series since David Starr back in 2006.
Behind Braun and Busch, you had Brian Ickler in third, Matt Crafton in fourth and Mike Skinner in fifth.
Click through for the full results.

Goodbye Money
Another fun announcement, right on the heels of Cup drivers’ trip to
Michigan, Chevrolet is cutting factory support in both the
Nationwide and
Camping World Truck Series. The Truck Series is just getting hit left and right. This drops official manufacturer support in the Truck Series down to one: Toyota, with Ford and Dodge having pulled out before the season began. Overall, this is going to seriously affect some of the bigger Nationwide and Truck teams like
KHI and
JR Motorsports. It’s not the end of the world yet, but things are not looking good for NASCAR’s minor-league system right now.
