NASCAR at the Glen
The COTs damninated the weekend as Tony Stewart wins, after Jeff Gordon runs out of talent spins with 2 laps to go. The most interesting incident was when Martin Truex pushed Juan Montoya (a racing incident) into Kevin Harvick in turn 1, resulting in an interesting confrontation that will be overplayed in the NASCAR lifestyle shows and Sportscenter’s Ultimate Highlight. Harvick won the Busch race, which was rather boring, while ex-Tide Rider Travis Kvapil won the Craftsman Truck race.
Champ Car at Road America
Sebastien Bourdais dominates the race this time, marking his first win at Road America. While Dario Franchitti flips and while Danica ignores her tires at Kentucky, IRL Gomers still think Champ Car is boring because of this race… maybe they aren’t intellectual enough. Like Sawyer Brown said, “They don’t understand.” It was highlighted by a crash in lap 1, turn 5, involving Simon Pagenaud, Paul Tracy, and Ryan Dalziel as well as the two title contenders, Robert Doornbos and Will Power having problems.
Franck Perera won the Champ Car Atlantics race. Maybe we’ll see him in the Champs come 2008 or 2009 when we see more cars (hopefully).
ALMS at RA
Roger Penske and his DHL team with Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard got the overall win at Road America.
