Kevin Harvick led most of the race and then passed Dale Earnhardt Jr. with two laps left to regain the lead and win the Degree V12 300 Nationwide Series race on Saturday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Harvick and Kyle Busch each went into the pits for gas and four tires with 14 laps remaining while Earnhardt and Brian Keselowski stayed on the track, gambling they had enough gas to finish the race.
Martin Truex Jr. has won his first pole at Atlanta Motor Speedway, just in time for the track’s first scheduled race entirely under the lights.
Truex won the pole for Sunday night’s Pep Boys Auto 500 with his lap of 184.149 mph on Saturday. It is Truex’s second pole of the season after qualifying first and finishing 11th at the Daytona 500.
Truex is leaving Earnhardt Ganassi Racing after the season to join Michael Waltrip Racing and said he wants to give his current team a win.
Whether it’s the ATL or Hotlanta it is our first race here under the lights!!! Buck, Bass, Rick, Barry and yes … even Randy break it down for you.
Tony Stewart says he’s convinced that Danica Patrick will eventually make the jump to NASCAR.
Stewart says Saturday that he knows Patrick has talked with “a lot” of NASCAR teams about moving to stock cars. The two have talked frequently about the IndyCar driver’s future. He said there’s little doubt she wants to race in NASCAR some day.
Stewart says he doesn’t have a Sprint Cup job for Patrick, since he’ll remain a two-car operation in 2010.
Police have released surveillance footage from a security camera at Denny Hamlin’s home in hopes it will lend clues about the theft of a luxury car from the NASCAR star’s driveway.
The 2008 Lexus LS was reported stolen Aug. 18. Footage shows a car pull up to the gate at Hamlin’s suburban Charlotte home, and two men walk down his driveway. As the Lexus is pulled through the gate, a female can be seen walking around the waiting car and climbing into the driver seat.
Both cars then pull away.
