a County Sherrif Cited Kurt Busch wth a wreckless driving outside of the Speedway in Pheonix, a a result, Jack Roush suspnded him the final 2 races of the season. He has already been granted to leave the team at the end of the year for his move to Penske racing.... so we will no longer see him in the #97 Car. Kenny Wallace took that ride over this weekend.

Bitter-sweet Weekend for the Busch Family, as Kyle took the Checkered flag. think he is the 1st guy ever to win a Truck,Busch, and Cup race all in the same year.


1. #5 Kyle Busch
2. #16 Greg Biffle
3. #24 Jeff Gordon
4. #20 Tony Stewart
5. #18 Bobby Labonte

With 1 race to go, at Miami.. the points are

1. Tony Stewart 6415
2. Jimmie Johnson -52
3. Carl Edwards -87
4. Greg Biffle -102
5. Mark Martin -162 (technically still in it, but he has no chance)

Carl Edwards took his back-flipping act to the Busch Series this week, with his win there. Martin Truex Jr. is now 64 points ahead of Clint Bowyer. Edwards is 3rd in points here too, but he had to miss a race.

Todd Bodine makes it back to back win in the truck Series. Tedd Musgrave is 58 points up on Dennis Setzer.

No Schedules up yet for the Finale in Miami

[Tony]

sorry I never got around to posting th schedule.. slipped from my mind.

Anyway, Todd Bodone won his 3rd consecituve truck race, which was rained out until Saturday (was supposed to be Friday) and Ted Musgrave wins the series over Dennis Setzer by 52 points.

.Ryan Newman took home the checkered flag for the Busch Series, andMartin Truex Jr. Has now won back to back titles in the Busch Series beating Clint Boywer by 68 points. Truex will be a full time cup guy next year.

The Cup finale is scheduled for 3PM ET, and will be shown on NBC

Thanks Tony

Stewart won his second Cup championship Sunday. Greg Biffle won the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway to finish in a second-place tie with Carl Edwards in the final standings, 35 points behind Stewart.

[Tony]

thanks cmom:) Tough break for Jimmie Johnson, wrecking rather early.... around lap 50 maybe? He ended up 5th in the points behind martin's 4th.

the top 5 for the race itself

1. #16 Greg Biffle (By a nose!)
2. # 6 Mark Martin
3. #17 Matt Kenseth
4. #99 Carl Edwards
5. #41 Kasey Mears

its also notable that Mark Martin won the IROC series,beating out 11 other guys from NASCAR, IRL, World Of Outlaws, ChampCar, and I think the American Le Mans Serieses.. one of those sports car serieses anyway (I know Scott Pruett was involved).

So thats the end of the road for Rusty Wallace and Ricky Rudd. I will miss Rusty especially. Mark Martin was going to retire, but got talked into staying another year because they needed someone for the 6.

Waltip is staying with the DEI #15, umm McMurray and Labonte are going somewhere.. Kurt Busch is going to be in the #2.. there are a lot of changes for next year.. like every year, cant keep track of them all!

Thats it until next year I guess, God bless!
