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.

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.

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.

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.

When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death; and when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again...wait, why are they spelling it with a Z?

And not one single lazy Great Scott joke.
wins the AAA Insurance 200
Camping World Truck Series race at
Dover. However, the real story was the power and efficiency in the failure rate of front right tires: failure so massive and pervasive that hack writers could consider comparing it to Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812. (Ironically, you could easily use Tchaikovsky’s commemorative overture in montages of both failures.)
Too obtuse?
The tire failures ultimately sunk the chances of Ron Hornaday early and Kyle Busch and Colin Braun late.

I'm in way over my head here...
I’d like to extend a special thank you to our patient readers. The biggest racing weekend of the year, and I was spending time launching Twitter Motorsports and then when the Coca-Cola 600 was postponed until Monday, I was annoyed because, well, yesterday was the second anniversary of the beginning of wedded bliss for myself and Mrs. Restrictor Plated and we already had plans for the day.
But, you can’t do anything about the weather. So, in lieu of having to bang out five posts from all the activity over the weekend, I’ll summarize everything for you that you need to know about what’s happened between Saturday and today.

won a wild North Carolina Education Lottery 200
Truck Series race at
Lowe’s Motor Speedway on Friday, but it was

Matt Crafton, 4.
Ryan Newman in only his second career Truck start, 5.
Terry Cook, 6.
