Greg Biffle Edges Out Jeff Gordon
Jeff Gordon had a late run going on but it wasn’t enough to win as Greg Biffle held off Gordon at Darlington.
The sunset on a beautiful evening at Darlington
As Kasey Kahne was on the pole.
The bad moon that plagued the Busch race last night
Was shrouded by clouds. The event was not perfect for Open Wheelers. Car Edwards went out with a rare oil pump problem.
Tony Stewart started 13th then had a tough time with the car, spun out and was running 13th with 24 to go. Stewart finished 12th and hung onto 2nd place in the points. Robbie Gordon brought in another solid finish at 13th. Jeff Gordon was the highest finishing Open Wheeler at second.

Rain, Rain, Go Away
I am sure everyone at Indy including the TV folks are hoping that the rain finally moves out. Indy qualifying was rained out today. They will qualify positions 1-22 tomorrow. ESPN2 will broadcast qualifying Sunday from 11am-2pm and 5-6pm eastern.
The forecast calls for continued rain Sunday but it is Indiana and anything could happen.
The fans attended the Cheap Trick concert instead of seeing qualifying.
The rain forced the ABC and ESPN2 crews to fill time. The crew as always was up to the task with several informative segments.
One segment compared IndyCars to Cup Cars. Rusty Wallace (left) spoke to Scott Goodyear (right) from their respective cars about the differences.
The two compared helmets used in the two series and told why you need different helmets for the two different series.
Stephen Wallace won the ARCA race today (See Story.) Marty Reid asked Rusty if he would want to race alongside with Stephen like Michael is with Marco. He didn’t answer the question.
Big Indy
In yet another segment,
They demonstrated how Yankee Stadium, Bristol Motor Speedway, the Rose Bowl
As well as Churchill Downs could all fit into the infield of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Idle Time is Not Good
Tony Kannan was using his free time, plotting to play a prank on Marco Andretti. Rain delays cause boys to find something else to do in their idle time.
Who is that Girl?
They also ran a feature on Spiderman, Helio Castroneves and his wins at the 500.
They went to his home in Miami to view his 500 car collection. During the segment they showed a woman kissing Castroneves.
Is that his girlfriend or his sister? She is hot regardless.
We need More Cowbell
Danica Patrick blamed her slow speeds early this month at Indy for the lack of cowbell.
She told Jerry Punch that banging the cowbell will give her good mojo.
Sebastien Bourdais Wins at Houston
Sebastien Bourdais edged out Paul Tracy on the final lap to win at Houston tonight.
A late race caution brought drama to a relatively exciting Champ Car race.
Paul Tracy had four push to pass and Sebastien Bourdais had two left before
they went green for the final time on a green, white checkered restart.
Bourdais drove away from Tracy on the restart. After the race Paul Tracy said Sea Bass blocked him earlier in the race. Sea Bass said that was “just racing.”
Dan Clark got into Katherine Legge causing her to spin into the tire barrier. She would finish 14th. See what happened in Victory Lane by visiting out sister site http://tvvictorylane.blogspot.com/.
Stephen Wallace Wins ARCA Race
(While he is not an Open Wheeler, his dad does IRL commentary so we will run this tonight.) Stephen Wallace waited out rain showers at Kentucky Speedway to win the ARCA Re/Max Series race there tonight. Wallace was so pumped after the event that his victory lane burnout left an actual trail of flames in the infield grass after some of the rubber he put down caught fire.
