*smooch*
won the Brickyard 400 at
Indy but that wasn’t the big story if you followed the crowds online. A late-race speeding ticket given to
Juan Pablo Montoya who had dominated the race up to that point ended his shot at a win.
That has a lot of people calling foul for some reason, including Kyle Petty. I don’t really see why though. Montoya was angry and swore he didn’t do it, but basically it’s his word versus two electronic scoring monitors. That wouldn’t overturn a speeding ticket in any court of law that I’m familiar with.

Flipper, faster than lightning...or at least a greased cheetah strapped to a bullet train.
wins the
Nationwide Series race at
O’Reilly Raceway Park, beating out
Kyle Busch towards the end, who ultimately finished second.
The race was punctuated by some unusual moments, like the pace car racing out, causing then-leader Trevor Bayne to have to check up rapidly and Steven Wallace to get into him, spinning him. Both drivers salvaged Top 10s, but were never back up at the front like that again.
Rounding out the Top 10 were Matt Kenseth, Brad Keselowski, Steve Wallace, Ron Hornaday, Trevor Bayne, Jason Leffler, Scott Wimmer and Kenny Wallace.
Full results after the jump.

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.

NASCAR's version of Fumé Blanc.
Kasey Kahne held off Tony Stewart to pick up an unexpected win at Infineon Raceway. How unexpected was it? It was Kahne’s first Top 10 at Sonoma, his first Top 20 at Sonoma, his first Top 10 at any road course in Cup Series and actually his first Top 10 at any road course at any level of NASCAR.
So, yeah, if you picked Kasey Kahne to win today, you either are crazy, clairvoyant or you couldn’t decide on a pick and you paid good money to hold a double-elimination tournament between 43 liquored-up lemurs and the lemur representing Kasey Kahne won.
I dunno. It’s late. Drunk lemurs are funny. No, I’m not drunk myself. Just tired.

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.

Five more of these and I'll be able to make some stylish curtains out of them.
is on the pole at
Infineon Raceway. Did you know that this is actually his
fourth pole position on the year? Doesn’t really seem like it, does it? If he picks up one more, he’ll actually have won more poles this season than he’s earned in his entire career up to this season. Go figure.
Kyle Busch sits on the outside of Row 1. He’s followed by Marcos Ambrose, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Martin Truex, Jr., Ryan Newman, Elliott Sadler, Boris Said and Matt Kenseth.
Overall, it’s an up-and-down day for Red Bull Racing. Vickers may have been on the pole, but Scott Speed ended up with his third DNQ on the year, putting him further out of reach of that elusive Top 35 in owners points. However, he may end up getting seat time in Joe Nemechek’s ride again (he obviously won’t pick up any owners points for that though). We’ll know more on that soon.
Full starting lineup after the jump.

Raise your hand if you're Ensure.
Nearly out of gas, Mark Martin won the LifeLock 400 at Michigan, making it to the end as other drivers fell away in the final laps. But Mark is hardly “running on empty,” picking up his third win over the age of 50, but unlike the song (back in ‘65, Mark was, well, seven, not seventeen), Mark seems to know exactly where he’s headed. Although the part about “I don’t know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels,” probably fits just fine.
We’ve joked about Martin in the past and about how he’s trying to be something of a second Harry Gant, but Martin looks to be serious about it. Gant had eight wins in his 50s and now Martin has three. The question we jokingly asked before, we ask once again more seriously: can Mark Martin beat Harry Gant’s record for wins over age 50?

Do you know how fast you were going? What do you mean you don't have a speedometer?
won the Meijer 300
Nationwide Series race at
Kentucky Speedway. However, the big story of the day was all the crazy speeding penalties. More than
half the field picked up a speeding penalty at one point or another—a total of 25 penalties in all for too fast exiting. An uncharacteristically-furious
Carl Edwards picked up three. NASCAR, and I know this will come as a
complete shock, is completely silent on the issue, but clearly something was screwed up. Whether the pace car was flooring it when teams were determining what their tachs needed to read to maintain pit speed limit, or something was faulty with the reading equipment, NASCAR screwed up somewhere…and then ducked ESPN who was looking for a post-race interview.
I’m sure they’ll be more on that later, but Kyle Busch (or is it “Pile Smush“) was the first loser (as he apparently considers it), followed by Brad Keselowski, Brendan Gaughan, Justin Allgaier, Jason Leffler, Michael Annett, Burney Lamar and Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. and Kelly Bires both had great Top 10 runs.
Full race results below:

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.
Full results below:
