Matt Kenseth Wins the Cup Race at California
Matt Kenseth Wins the Cup Race at California
Matt Kenseth continued his winning ways Sunday night in California, winning the Cup race over Jeff Gordon.
We begin tonight’s coverage with notes from Raceday on SPEED. Look, its Wendy the pirate. Arg matey!
I have no idea why Wendy Venturini has the patch on but here are their picks. KW – 48, HS – 2, WV – 18, JS – 88 and JR – 99.
More interviews in the most complete prerace show in racing. Look, its Krista Voda doing her hair in the background.
Time for the FOX broadcast to start. FOX’s prerace show includes an interview with Dale Earnhardt Jr. who says “I take responsibility for this wreck,” referring to the mayhem he caused last week at Daytona.
FOX then throws to Krista Voda and Brian Vickers for the response. Vickers says, “I am ready to move on.”
Let's light this candle!
So on we will move to the green flag where Angie Harmon, the honorary starter either has a burning rubber fetish
or is high on adrenalin.
Green flag and time to take a nap.
Seriously, the only thing to note until late in the race is that they had several cautions for rain and
that Ryan Newman lost his transponder and then lost his endplate under one of the rain cautions.
The most exciting part of the first half was this kid who looks like he was tortured by his parents. Oh wait, he is a Jr. fan. Nevermind…
Ok FF to lap 72 where Mark Martin loses an engine. Lap 208 Kevin Harvick lost an engine and hit the wall hard. Dale Earnhardt Jr. also pulled in with engine problems. I am beginning to see a trend here. Now Aric Almirola looses an engine with 7 to go but he is out of harms way so we stay green.
Matt Kenseth is leading Jeff Gordon by the equal time until six to go when he turns the jets on, smoking the tires down low. A few laps later and it isn’t working as much now for Gordon as Kenseth is able to keep his distance.
Matt Kenseth wins two races in a row winning the Cup race at California.
This race went a little late tonight ending at 10pm eastern. Good thing I hit the DVR for Wind Tunnel. See separate blog story above for highlights.
