Posted by on April 26th, 2008Tony Stewart held off Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s last-lap charge to win the Nationwide Series race Saturday for his first career victory at Talladega Superspeedway.
Stewart started from the pole and sat comfortably out front with Earnhardt on his rear bumper just biding his time to make a move. Caution came out with five laps to go for debris, setting up a two-lap sprint to the finish.
They raced nose-to-tail for the first lap, then Earnhardt pulled out of line to make his charge.

Posted by on April 26th, 2008Petty pleased to make first race in 1 month
Posted by on April 26th, 2008It’s been almost a month since Kyle Petty or his No. 45 have made a race. With a strong qualifying run Saturday, Petty locked himself into the field at Talladega Superspeedway.
“What a relief to get in the race,” Petty said after qualifying 15th for Sunday’s race. “I think the pressure was off this week because the driver didn’t make a mistake.”
Talladega is a unique track that requires very little handling, and qualifying typically is dependent on how well a team sets up the car.

Franchitti, who came to NASCAR this season as the reigning Indy Car Series champion and Indianapolis 500 winner, wrecked when his car apparently lost its right rear tire on the 10th lap of the Nationwide Series race.
