A King, a prince and a joker at a racetrack? Lee Spencer looks for answers in the weird story at Richard Petty Motorsports.
That horrific crash certainly didn’t slow Joey Logano down.
Logano passed points leader Kyle Busch with three laps left Saturday at Kansas Speedway, pulling out his fourth Nationwide victory just a week after the crash.
Logano flipped his car seven times at Dover last week, but showed no signs of fear in Kansas, overcoming a bobble with four laps left before passing Busch for the victory.
Busch led 173 of the 200 laps on the 1.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. has given a formal endorsement for crew chief Lance McGrew.
He’s just not sure if that carries any weight.
Earnhardt will start a season-best second in Sunday’s race at Kansas Speedway, his 16th race with McGrew calling the shots for his underachieving Hendrick Motorsports team. Although there’s been few tangible results since McGrew replaced longtime crew chief Tony Eury Jr. in late May, Earnhardt is pleased with their progress and wants McGrew back next season.
George Gillett says the proposed merger between Richard Petty Motorsports and Yates Racing is still on track, and the new organization will field at least three teams in 2010.
Gillett is the majority owner of RPM, a team that has appeared to be in a state of chaos this year as it has adjusted to the slumping economy and the affects from Chrysler’s reorganization.
But Gillett says the team is on pace for an improved 2010 and he’s confident in the organizations’ stability.
