Kasey Kahne made history Sunday when he became the first driver to put the Dodge boys in Victory Lane in both the Coca-Cola 600 and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series All-Star Race in the same year. The Budweiser team was able to take the win when Tony Stewart, leading by more than five seconds with three laps to go, blew a right-front tire and finished 18th. Finishing second to Kahne once again was fellow Washington native and the only driver to ever win in both the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Gateway International Raceway, Greg Biffle. Kyle Busch finished third, while two-time GIR winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished fifth. GIR's first-ever NASCAR winner Elliott Sadler racked up an eighth-place finish, defending NASCAR Nationwide Series champion and Columbia, Mo.-native Carl Edwards finished ninth despite running out of fuel on the last lap, and David Reutimann, who will once again visit GIR this summer for the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250, finished tenth.
Kyle Busch continued his march on the NASCAR record books with his Nationwide Series win at Lowe's Motor Speedway Saturday night. Former GIR pole winner Denny Hamlin took the runner-up slot with Earnhardt Jr. finishing fourth. Clint Bowyer and David Ragan, two more Cup Series stars who will be at Gateway International Raceway July 19th, finished sixth and ninth, respectively.
NASCAR Whelen Modified Series champion Donny Lia shocked the racing world Saturday at Mansfield Motorsports Park with a last-lap, three-wide pass for the win against former Gateway International Raceway winners David Starr and Todd Bodine, who finished second and third, respectively. Terry Cook, also a GIR winner, finished fourth, while three-time NCTS champion Jack Sprague come home seventh. Sean Murphy, who has won every race this season in the ASA Late Model Series Challenge Division, took the checkers in ninth, and Stacy Compton, driving the #4 Bobby Hamilton Racing Dodge rounded out the top-ten.
All three of NASCAR's top series will be racing at Dover International Speedway this weekend. The NCTS race will air Friday evening on SPEED, the NASCAR Nationwide Series race will be broadcast on ESPN2 Saturday, and FOX will carry the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series action on Sunday.
The NHRA POWERade Series was off this weekend, but returns to action starting Friday in Topeka, Kan., for the O'Reilly Summer Nationals. Qualifying can be seen Saturday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. on ESPN2.
