David Ragan gets his revenge as he wins at Daytona. In the Daytona 500, Ragan shifted lanes too early and was black flagged. Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne wrecked early and finished 41st. Carl Edwards, the points leader, was spun out and finished 37th, and gave up the points lead to Kevin Harvick, who finished 7th.

The Nationwide series was also just as exciting. KHI (Kevin Harvick Inc.) swept the first 4 qualifying spots with Clint Bowyer, Tony Stewart, Elliot Sadler, and Kevin Harvick. Danica Patrick was in the lead on the with 5 to go, but was passed by Salder being pushed by Stewart. On the front straight, there was a last lap crash, and the Sprint Cup also had one. Joey Logano was pushed by Kyle Busch, and won the race.

NASCAR

Kurt Busch dominated at Sonoma, lead 76 laps out of 110. He won his first career road course race and he won his first race of this season. Joey Logano won the pole. Tony Stewart spun out Brian Vickers, and later Brian Vickers paid back Stewart by spinning him into tires.

In the Nationwide series at Road America, Reed Sorenson won a dramatic race, with 3 green white checkered finishes. The caution came out after the third, and the race would end when the leader passed the start/finish line. Justin Allgaier, the leader, ran out of fuel. So Reed Sorenson passed him, and Ron Fellows, in third, passed Sorenson under caution, which was not right, so Sorenson won the race.

NASCAR

Red Bull Racing is pulling out of NASCAR, sources say. Red Bull has been the primary sponsor for Kasey Kahne and Brian Vickers. But they are also a racing team, so they're leaving two cars unused. Red Bull has been doing well in F1, but it took a long time to get there. They spent five times as much in F1 than in NASCAR to get to the top of the sport.

NASCAR

Denny Hamlin wins his first race at Michigan International Speedway. Kurt Busch won the pole. Greg Biffle led the most laps, but finished 15th. Late in the race, Dale Earnhardt Jr. hit the wall, bringing out the caution with 10 to go. Denny Hamlin took the lead on the restart. On the last lap, Matt Kenseth was charging hard, but nearly wrecked his car but saved it, giving Hamlin the win.
The Chase will come fast, and drivers need to start getting good consistent finishes. Many drivers who were thought to be contenders and are not include Jaime McMurray, Joey Logano, David Reutimann, Jeff Burton, and Brian Vickers. Many are also in danger of missing the Chase, including Greg Biffle, Tony Stewart, and Mark Martin. Jeff Gordon is almost assured of a Chase Wild Card spot, securing two wins this season, and the second spot will be given to Tony Stewart, unless Brad Keselowski moves into the top 20 in points. The top 10 in points are:
Carl Edwards:532
Kevin Harvick: -20(behind)
Dale Earnhardt Jr.: -27

The Memorial Day Weekend races were full of excitement. First in the Indy 500, JR Hildebrand, the 23 year old rookie, crashed into the wall, giving the lead and win to Dan Whelen. In NASCAR, lots of drama, including many blown engines, and lots of car wrecked in the longest race scheduled. With 2 laps to go, Dale Jr. takes the lead, but runs out of fuel on turn 4, and gives the win to Kevin Harvick. Both Earnhardt and Hildebrand both were wearing the National Guard sponsor, and both had a problem on the last lap and last turn of the race.

Matt Kenseth won his second race at Dover on Sunday. It was really rainy, for both Nationwide and Sprint Cup. Since qualifying was rained out, the person with the fastest practice time got the pole. In this case, Jimmie Johnson. The Sprint Cup race wasn't as exciting as it might have been at the Monster Mile, but the Nationwide race was filled with drama, including a last-lap crash involving many cars, including Joey Logano, Clint Bowyer, Steven Wallace, and Brad Keselowski. Carl Edwards remains the points leader.

NASCAR

Now they go into each other again, and NASCAR is evaluating this incident and the Montoya and Newman confrontation

After the break, Carl Edward kept his momentum and grabbed the pole for Sunday's race. His Roush teammate Greg Biffle help Jack Roush's team sweep the front row.
