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.

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.

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.

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.

That's the second time this year he's snuck in to get a win at the end.
took advantage of late contact between
Kyle Busch and
Joey Logano after Kyle lost a tire to steal a win at the Heluva Good! 200

Joey Logano is on the pole for this afternoon’s Heluva Good! 200 Nationwide race at Dover. David Ragan will start second, followed by Kyle Busch, Scott Speed and Kevin Harvick.
The big story that a lot of people were looking for though, Jeffrey Earnhardt, in his first attempt to qualify for a Nationwide race, failed to qualify.

This has been a rough few weeks for the NASCAR family: first we lost David Poole, then we lost Kevin Grubb and then Jeremy Mayfield was suspended for violating the substance abuse policy. So, it’s nice to come off of that and have a week that is strictly all about fun. It’s a home exhibition game for the NASCAR family: All-Star Weekend at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
However, NASCAR’s definition of fun entails all sorts of rules and regulations, pursuant to NASCAR Rulebook Section 13-7-J, “Regulation of Mirth and Merriment,” which requires that fun be “distilled” down to a format that only an mid-level IRS bureaucrat could love. But we fight the power and explain everything to you so you’re prepared for this weekend’s festivities.

Mark Martin is still chasing Harry Gant, just in a different way now.
Why let Harry Gant have all the fun in the Centrum Silver set? Harry Gant may have won eight Cup races after the age of 50, but Mark Martin seems determined to give him a run for his money. First he wins at Phoenix, then he signs for another year, and then he wins at Darlington.
And while Mark Martin winning the race is definitely the headline, there were quite a lot of other storylines from a wild race at Darlington.

Didn't I see this in a movie once? What was that one called? "My Dinner With Andre?" (Credit: Jerry Markland/Getty Images for NASCAR)
I told you about Talladega. That’s what I love about this track. NASCAR fans don’t regale their children with stories about the race at Fontana or Chicagoland or Loudon. They tell their kids about seeing Bobby Allison rip up the catch fence in 1987, about Rusty Wallace finishing the race airborne in 1993, or when the cur Brian Vickers won the race by getting Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. into each other on the final lap in 2006.
…or maybe the time when Carl Edwards got into the catchfence on the final lap, got out of his car and ran to the finish line, while rookie Brad Keselowski, who didn’t even have a full-time ride, went on to win the race.
Let’s see Homestead try and top that one.

J.J. Yeley and his wisp of facial hair are back in NASCAR.
is back in NASCAR. This is good news for NASCAR fans of the soul patch, who have had to avoid tapping out our nation’s “Strategic
Paul Menard Reserve” for the last year during our the soul patch drought we’ve had without Yeley. In any event, J.J. Yeley will be driving the 73 truck for Tagsby Racing, an upstart
Truck Series effort out of Ardmore, Oklahoma, centrally located about 100 miles from Restrictor Plated World Headquarters. They purchased the truck from Gaughan Racing and the engines are from Kevin Troyer Racing Engines. Good luck to J.J. on Saturday at
Kansas.
