THE BIG STORY

Kurt Busch overpowered the field on two green-white-checker restarts to win Sunday's Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He finished .482 second up on Valvoline Ford driver Matt Kenseth. Juan Pablo Montoya, Kasey Kahne and Paul Menard completed the top five. Brad Keselowski wasn't hurt after flipping in the closing laps as a result of contact with Carl Edwards. Kevin Harvick (ninth) is 26 points ahead of Kenseth.

The Atlantic series will not happen in 2010 due to the economy and shortage of funded drivers . . .

Kurt Busch will drive a 1970 Dodge Challenger in the Super Gas class at NHRA's March 14 Gatornationals . . . Josh Herrin won the Daytona 200 on a Yamaha . . . Joey Saldana won Saturday night's World of Outlaws feature in Tulare, Calif.


NASCAR Sprint Cup Series

Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the pole Friday at Atlanta with a 192.761 mph lap. Greg Biffle crashed in final practice and started last in a backup Ford. Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman moved to the back after engine changes. Sunday, Kyle Busch took the lead on lap one. Robby Gordon crashed on lap four. Kasey Kahne took the top spot on lap 14. David Ragan got into the wall on lap 35. On the restart, Brad Keselowski had contact with Carl Edwards that forced Edwards up into Joey Logano. About lap 114, Earnhardt pitted under green with what he thought was a loose wheel and dropped to 31st. Several drivers had tire problems. On lap 115, Mark Martin spun coming out of turn four. Kurt Busch led Juan Pablo Montoya. Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon had green-flag stops for tire issues, and Gordon was penalized for a pit speeding violation. The next yellow came when Logano had a tire problem. Jimmie Johnson, in the top five, pitted under green because of a tire vibration. Kahne came out ahead after a round of green pit stops. With 100 laps left, there was a debris caution, and Kurt Busch led Kahne. Front-runner Denny Hamlin was next to the pits to change tires and he later caused a caution with a flat. On that restart, Max Papis and Elliott Sadler tangled. With three laps to go and Montoya closing down on leader Kurt Busch, Edwards tagged Keselowski on the front stretch. Keselowski's Dodge flipped over onto its roof but landed on its wheels. NASCAR parked Edwards for rough driving. The leaders pitted: Clint Bowyer, Paul Menard and Jamie McMurray all took just two new tires and got out first, followed by Kurt Busch and Montoya, with four new tires. Kurt Busch got to the lead coming out of turn two and then there was a yellow, with McMurray, Martin, Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr., Kyle Busch and Hamlin involved in a wreck. Kurt Busch's Dodge cleared the field on the next restart and took the checkered flag ahead of Matt Kenseth, who qualified 14th. Busch averaged 131.294 mph with 11 yellows for 53 of the 341 laps. Scheduled race distance was 325 laps. Noteables: Johnson, 12th; Stewart, 13th; Earnhardt, 15th; Jeff Gordon, 18th; Hamlin, 21st; Martin, 33d.


NASCAR Camping World Truck Series

Kevin Harvick pulled away on a restart with 14 laps to go and won Saturday's E-Z Go 200 at Atlanta. His self-owned Chevrolet finished 1.3 seconds ahead of Kyle Busch's Toyota. Busch got fender damage in a first-lap incident. Aric Almirola was third in a Tundra. A flat tire caused Ron Hornaday Jr. to crash on lap 16. Harvick averaged 120.926 mph with six yellows for 27 of the 130 laps. Todd Bodine spun but finished fifth and is four points up on Timothy Peters (seventh).


Rolex Sports Car Series

Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas won Saturday's Grand Prix of Miami, at Homestead-Miami Speedway, by .255 second over David Donohue and Darren Law. Donohue, in the Brumos Porsche Riley, closed on Pruett's BMW Riley several times after a restart with just under 15 minutes to go, but couldn't make the pass after 129 laps in the two-hour, 45-minute event. Law was the leader, but as he pitted on lap 81, a GT class car caught fire on pit road and that cost him time. Alex Gurney and Jon Fogarty were third in a Chevrolet Riley. The winners averaged 107.196 mph. In GT, Jeff Segal and Emil Assentato won in a Mazda RX-8.

Racer of the Week

Scott Pruett. Holds off David Donohue to win the Grand-Am race in Homestead.

Yes, He REALLY Said That

Jeff Gordon, on the Delta Wing car. "I thought it was a joke. Is it not a joke? I thought it was the Batmobile. It looks a little too Batmobile-ish to me. I'm hoping that's a concept and that something realistic comes out of it that is unique and different. I give them credit for being ambitious. But I think that's a little too ambitious."

This Weekend

NASCAR takes the weekend off. IndyCar opens in Brazil. Formula One goes in Bahrain. NHRA blasts into Gainesville.

 

What Carl did was wrong. I like "Cousin Carl" for the most part.
He's a hard one to figure out ? He can be real nice and seem innocent but when he does things like that, it makes me question
his real character.
He could've killed Brad and maybe even a fan. D.W. has good advice
for this stuff. Wait till the race is over........Go talk to the driver after
both have cooled down...then settle it lke Men and go on. It's over.

I missed my picks all over the place...... Dang O Tires !
