Martinsville Review
Ugh, Bobby Labonte just can't catch a break in NNC. Maybe Bobby should go to the CTS, since he is better there.
NNC: Jeff Gordon took the win in the Advance Auto Parts 500, with Kasey Kahne in tow. It is Gordon's 71st win of his career, only three away from the late Dale Earnhardt's wins (74). Mark Martin finished third, Ryan Newman 4th, and Rusty Wallace rounded out the top 5. Gordon came from three laps down to win, and Jimmie Johnson managed another top 10 after having a tough start. Tony Stewart led the most laps, but was forced to finish 26th after the right front tire on his Home Depot Chevy came off -- wheel, hub, rubber, all of it -- and ended his day with about 20 to go or so. Bobby Labonte was a top 10 driver until his engine gave out on him WHILE HE WAS LEADING!!!! Bobby finished 33rd.
Advance Auto Parts 500 Finish.
CTS: Bobby Labonte became the 12th driver to win a race in each of NASCAR's top three series, and the first time a driver did that at the same track (NNC: 2002, BGN: 1992). Following Labonte was Ricky Craven, driver for the 99 Superchips Ford. Rounding out the top 10 are Ron Hornaday, Todd Bodine, and Chad Chaffin.
Kroger 250 Finish.
Congradulations to all the winners this week. Next: Texas.
