Auto Club 500 Kenseth Win

Matt Kenseth wins Auto Club 500 at California Speedway!! The number 17 car had no problems taking the win after Kevin Harvick's blown tire in the last lap, close to the finish. Mark Martin took over the Nextel Cup point lead by finishing top five for the second time.

Revival At Daytona

This Sunday is the first time since "Black Sunday," when Dale Earnhardt Sr. lost his life in turn four, in the last lap at the Daytona 500, that a race has been scheduled on February 18th. February 18, 2001 was a tragic day in Nascar history. Nascar has kept drivers from racing on February 18th in honor of Earnhardt Sr. for the last five years. The mourning period ends, where it began, this Sunday, February 18, 2007 at Daytona.

Debut of COT

March is the debut of the COT (car of tomorrow)! Will drivers have problems with the car of tomorrow? Critics are getting louder and funnier. Don Miller, Penske Racing South president, described the COT "butt ugly." Jeff Gordon just plain doesn't like it. Others think it is more costly, less productive. There's just not a whole lot of good things to say about it. Here's a link if you guys want to read more: http://www.nascar.com/2006/news/headlines/cup/10/21/car.of.tomorrow.feelings/index.html
