Busch Race Results 9/29 (Kansas)
Sunday, September 30th, 2007
After a record tying 10 yellow flags, Kyle Busch managed to squeak out a win over Matt Kenseth at the wire by less than .09 seconds. Points leader Carl Edwards ran into some trouble and was involved in a wreck leaving him in 38th place for the week. Of course, he still holds a 700+ point lead in the standings, so not too much damage was done besides the car. Check out the unofficial results from the Kansas Busch race after the jump.

As expected, Carl Edwards and his crew chief were both fined after failing post-race inspection after “The King of Concrete” Carl won the Nextel Cup race at Dover. He was fined 25 driver points, dropping him to 6th in the point standings (but still only 28 points behind leader Jeff Gordon) and his crew chief Bob Osbourne was fined $25,000 and put on probation until December 31st. Rousch Fenway Racing was also fined 25 owner points for the right rear of the car being too low. The organization will appeal the penalty with the argument that a 25 point penalty is too harsh during the Chase for an infraction that actually impairs the performance of the car.
During a pit stop in the Nextel Cup race on Sunday, a tire from the #44 car hit the #55 gas man and sent him to the hospital. The tire, being changed by Dale Jarrett’s crew during the fourth caution, rolled away from the pit and was hit by David Ragan in the #6 car. It flew across pit road and knocked out gas man Art Harris. Harris was awake and alert at the track, but transported to a nearby hospital immediately. He was released quickly and was able to fly home with the rest of the team. His status for the Kansas race is still unknown at this time.
And we thought the biggest mess of this matchup was on the track! After Denny Hamlin and Kyle Petty got together on the track during lap 204 of the Nextel Cup race in Dover, the war of words began. Kyle went to visit Denny at his car in the garage as he was sitting in it waiting for it to be repaired. At that point, Kyle slapped Denny across the helmet, which prompted Denny to take off his gloves and climb out of the car. No other physical confrontations occurred, but there are 
While watching “Trackside” this weekend on the Speed Channel, I happened to hear Elliott Sadler and Dale Earnhardt Jr. talking about a new venture they were participating in. Apparently, Elliott had the brilliant idea to start up an online poker site where fans could play poker against some of their favorite drivers. Thus, the Victory Lane Player’s Club (VLP Club) was born. In addition to Sadler and Earnhardt, you could play a hand with Kasey Kahne, Dale Jarrett, Tony Stewart, or Jamie McMurray.
And the big one hit with just 13 laps to go when Kurt Busch broke a wheel. 12 cars were taken out of the race, including Chase contenders Kurt Busch, Martin Truex Jr., and Jimmie Johnson. Denny Hamlin also had a rough night after getting together with Kyle Petty early in the race. Carl Edwards, whom NASCAR.com has dubbed the “King of Concrete”, won the race, but his car did not pass post-race inspection. Apparently his right rear was too low, which Edwards and car owner Jack Rousch are confident the officials will find is due to a bent frame rather than any wrongdoing from the crew. Any fines or penalties will be announced on Tuesday. Here is how the 
Travis Kvapil collects his 9th career Craftsman Truck win in Las Vegas last night. He started in first place and ended there. In between, there were a total of 8 cautions for crashes and spins. Ron Hornaday also ran into trouble late in the race and gave up the points lead to Mike Skinner. It’s still unbelievably close, though, with only 3 points separating the first and second place drivers. This is shaping up to be an amazing championship race. Here are the final 
There was plenty of action in the RoadLoans.com 200 at Dover yesterday. Tony Raines threw his helmet at Robby Gordon’s car after wrecking and then decided to rant about it on camera. I would be surprised if there aren’t any fines for that incident. Anyway, Denny Hamlin, who is suffering from a serious illness and took an IV before the race, won by passing Martin Truex, Jr. near the end. Here are the

Carl Edwards is running away with the Busch Series championship, and if history is any indication, he will probably run away with the win in Dover this weekend as well. However, let’s not count out Kevin Harvick or Clint Bowyer who won the September Busch race last year at this track. He’s also coming off his first Nextel Cup win, so momentum is with him.
Mike Skinner is always strong at Las Vegas and was the winner of this race last year. He also has the last 3 poles to his credit at this racetrack. One thing to watch is the Craftsman Truck debut of open wheel driver Jacque Villeneuve. There is still a close race for the championship, so it’s going to be intense.
