Phoenix Recap

Congradulations to Kurt Busch on his first win of the season. That win moved him up the points standings from 4th to 2nd. Now, onto the recap:

NNC: As noted in the beginning, Kurt Busch won the Subway Fresh 500, the first in the season. He started in 2nd place, so only an improvement of 1 spot from where he started, but then, you can't get higher than first, can you? :P The pole sitter, Jeff Gordon, finished 12th. The points leader, Jimmie Johnson, started 12th, and finished 15th, ending his string of tho 10 finished at 13. DEI finished 2nd and 4th with Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr, respectively. A surpise finish for Brian Vickers, who started 5th and finished there. Well done. Bobby Labonte finally finished a race, 6th place. His first finish since California, the 2nd race of the season. Tony Stewart, who suffered a 1st degree burn on his right elbow and a 2nd degree burn on his right thigh in Texas after his engine crashed and burned, started 6th but was involved in a pit row incident with Greg Biffle and eventually crashed out, finished 33rd.
Finishing Order Subway Fresh 500
Now, I'm just curious: why is it that they go 500 kilometers at Phoenix, by use miles at everywhere else?

I am going to lay off the BGN recaps for a while, probably return to it after Talladega. So, here are the results of the Bashas' Supermarkets 200.

There were no penalites steming from this race, yet.

The next race will be at Talladega (NNC & BGN) and Gateway (CTS).
