This Week in Auto Racing May 16 - May 18
It is just 11 weeks into the 36-race 2008 Sprint Cup season, but NASCAR will hold its "mid-season" classic which highlights this week's racing action.
Busch following in Gordon's footsteps
He was never a fan favorite, but when Kyle Busch spun Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Richmond two weeks ago, he took on a new role - NASCAR's villain.
Busch battles back for Darlington win
Kyle Busch captured Saturday night's Dodge Challenger 500 Sprint Cup Series race at the Darlington Raceway. Busch fought his way back through the field from an earlier penalty en route to Victory Lane. The No.18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota driver crossed the finish line 3.115 seconds ahead of Carl Edwards.
Biffle sets record in winning pole at Darlington
Greg Biffle won the pole for Saturday night's Dodge Challenger 500 at the Darlington Raceway. The No.16 Roush Fenway Racing Ford driver circled the newly-paved "Lady in Black" in a record-setting 27.405 seconds (179.442 m.p.h.). The old mark was 173.797 m.p.h. set by Ward Burton in March 1996.
Daytona 500 - Recap
Ryan Newman came from fourth on the final restart to win the 50th running of the Daytona 500 at the Daytona International Speedway. The No.12 driver took the checkered flag 0.092 seconds ahead of Penske Racing teammate Kurt Busch.

While the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series is at Chicago this week, the Craftsman Truck Series isn’t far away. My team will be joining the rest of the series at the 1.5-mile Kentucky Speedway.

I’ve been going to Daytona – site of Saturday night’s 400-mile NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race - as long as I can remember – actually, longer than I can remember. It really has been that long….so it seems.

This McMillin Homes/Cure Autism Now Toyota team is excited about getting to Milwaukee Fairgrounds Raceway this week and getting ready for the Toyota Tundra 200. We were pretty good at the Milwaukee Mile last year and are looking forward to improving on that, as we’ve done most everywhere else we’ve run this season.

Off to Michigan Speedway this week, the two-mile, generally smooth oval in the Irish Hills of Michigan, just west of Detroit. Michigan’s fast. Now, what this means is you better have your act together when the green flag drops.
