*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.

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.

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?

To 'eBay?' That sure is a popular name today.
Brian Vickers is on the pole for the LifeLock 400 at Michigan International Speedway. It’s been a big week for Vickers, as he also just signed a new contract to stay at Red Bull Racing (not to mention a pit stop in Times Square). Michigan is a good track for Vickers and I think he’s a solid Top 10 pick.
Behind Vickers, you have Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson, David Reutimann, Kurt Busch, A.J. Allmendinger with a solid run in 6th, Juan Pablo Montoya, Kasey Kahne, Clint Bowyer and, no this isn’t an error, John Andretti in 10th.
Click below for the full starting lineup.

Cause I'll be rockin this party eight days a week.
Sometimes I struggle with a tie-in for pick and preview posts, sometimes they just fall into my lap. NASCAR is at
Michigan International Speedway this weekend, which is in Brooklyn—albeit not one of the five boroughs, but what better way to present who I feel good about racing in Brooklyn than by being inspired by the rapsmiths who created the
seminal song about insomnious journey to a New York borough.
Thusly, we present our week’s Fantasy NASCAR picks: Beastie Boys Edition.

Dodge’s role in NASCAR right now looks extremely unclear. While recent manufacturer speculation has focused more on General Motors and Chevrolet, their future still looks extremely bright in the sport, while Dodge has had many difficulties since re-entering the sport back in 2001. No Sprint Cup Championships, no Sprint Cup manufacturer championships and no Nationwide Series Championships.
Couple that with Roger Penske’s purchase of Saturn and speculation that Penske Racing could leave Dodge and the latest news that airs the possibility that RPM could switch to Toyota for next season and you have to wonder, what’s next for Dodge?
Is there a “next” for Dodge?

Catch the bouquet!
gambled on fuel to the end of the Pocono 500 at
Pocono Raceway, culminating with his first win of the season and the first win for
Stewart-Haas. So, finally we can stop treating him like Jim Kelly and Don Mattingly, waiting for him to stop being the runner-up this season, and start focusing on his run for the Sprint Cup championship, now sitting on a 71-point lead.
