Upcoming Events in the World of NASCAR
Roughly three years ago, Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) was the site for a publicity show down pitting the top NASCAR driver, Jeff Gordon, against one of the top Formula One drivers, Juan Pablo Montoya. Each driver swapped cars for 7 laps on the 2.6 mile road course through the Indy infield. At the day's end, both drivers, especially Juan, and teams gained a new found respect for the style of racing each series has to offer.
In two weeks, Jeff Gordon and the rest of the Nextel Cup boys return to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Brickyard 400. Of the 36 races on the Nextel Cup circuit, The Brickyard 400 ranks in top 5 favorite for many of the NASCAR drivers due to the rich racing history of IMS.
Of all current drivers with 2 or more career starts at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the favorite amongst female fans, Kasey Kahne, has had the most success. In two starts at IMS, Kasey has an average finish of 3rd.
Also expect the following drivers to do well next week:
Tony Stewart - Average Finish 8th

Who's Hot?
Yesterday at Pocono Raceway, all three Joe Gibbs Racing drivers finished in the top eleven. What makes this feat even more impressive is that two of the three drivers, Denny Hamlin and J.J. Yeley, are rookies.
The "Tro-Val" of Pocono is not an easy beast to tame even for veteran drivers. How then, might you ask, does a rookie driver dominate the two races at Pocono in his rookie season? The simple answer would be to claim Denny Hamlin is the next great superstar to come out of Virginia since Michael Vick. However, I believe the answer lies just a bit deeper.
For much of its existence, Joe Gibbs Racing has essentially been a one-trick pony. Despite fielding multiple teams in the past, typically only one of the teams would be noticeable come Sunday. I believe this season, JGR has expanded its stable and now has the ability to produce multiple, competitive cars every weekend. The proof is in the points. After yesterday's Pennsylvania 500, both Denny Hamlin and Tony Stewart are in the top 10 in driver's points.
Who's Not?
Could this be the second year in a row that Dale Earnhardt Inc. fails to put the most popular driver in all of NASCAR in the Chase for the Championship? Two years ago, DEI was considered one of the top teams in NASCAR. They dominated the restrictor plate races and had successes at the short tracks. However, two years is miles away in the competitive world of NASCAR.
This season, DEI's top driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr, has failed to win a single race. Not only is Earnhardt winless, his average finish at restrictor plate races thus far is 17th! Yesterday's 43rd place finish at Pocono was the 5th race in a row that Dale finished 25th or worse. This recent string of poor performances has knocked Junior out of the top 10 in driver's points, and will possibly cause him to miss the 2006 Chase for the Championship.
Last Week's Headlines
Yesterday's Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway was chock full of the drama and action that has made NASCAR one of the most beloved sports in America. The fun started on lap 31 as Tony Stewart intentionally cut across the front of Clint Boyer's Jack Daniel's #07 car. Stewart's love tap was in retaliation for Boyer forcing Stewart up high and into the wall upon exiting turn 3. The end result of Stewart's tap cost Carl Edwards a chance of having a successful day at Pocono (where he's already one twice), and most likely knocked Carl out of championship contention.
As one could imagine, Carl wasn't flashing his toothy grin at Tony the rest of the day. Instead Carl gave Tony a love tap of his own while entering pit road. The tap caused Tony to spin almost completely around, and force NASCAR to black flag Edwards.
The rest of the drivers maintained their poise, and battled the tough "Tro-Val" of Pocono. The rain-canceled practice on Saturday caused troubles for most of the teams who use the practice set-up the cars in race trim. The only team not affected from the lack of practice was the #11 FedEx car driven by Denny Hamlin.
Hamlin dominated the race from start to finish. He started the race in the pole position and relinquished the lead only during pit-stop cycles. Denny's first place finish and 8th place standing in the points has made him a front runner for Rookie of the Year.
The ever-consistent Jimmie Johnson finished in the 6th spot. Jimmie has dominated the 2006 season and has an average finish of 8th. His Hendrick teammates also faired well. Jeff Gordon took the checkered flag with a much-needed 3rd place finish while Brian Vickers finished in 4th. Gordon now sits 9th in points, and currently qualifies for the Chase for the Championship.
Tony Stewart was able to rebound from a black flag penalty served to him after the altercation on lap 31. He ended the day, and his recent streak of bad finished, with a 7th place finish that moved him back into to the top ten in driver's points.
Dale Earnhardt Jr suffered the most yesterday when he wrecked on lap 87. Junior's car was unable to get up to full speed coming off of turn 2 causing Dave Blaney to bump his car from behind. The bump crashed Earnhardt into the wall and out of the race.

Stevenson Competes In Young Guns Race
Pocahontas Resident Drives Late Model For First Time
It's been a good 12 months for young Trista Stevenson.
The 14-year-old daughter of Kenny and Gayle Stevenson of Pocahontas, Trista has been flinging dirt all over her competitors on the race track.
In her first season in a full-bodied race car, Stevenson picked up a total of 20 top 10 finishes, seven top five finishes and one feature victory to go along with six heat race wins and two dash victories at Highland Speedway, Fayette County Speedway and Tri-City Speedway.
In her debut at Highland Speedway, she finished first in her heat and dash and 10th in the feature.
To recognize her success, St. Louis Motor Racing News and Stlracing.com named Stevenson their Newcomer of The Year. Stevenson was selected from a pool of drivers that race at approximately 10 tracks in the St. Louis area.
But with a recent trip to Georgia's Oglethorpe Speedway, she proved that she can run among The elite young drivers in the United States.
Thanks to Stevenson's friend Lance Deiters, an employee for a NASCAR Bush Series team owned by Nextel Cup driver Kevin Harvick, Trista ways able to take part in the second annual Coca-Cola Young Guns race at the half-mile Ogelthorpe Speedway.
Deiters, a Pocahontas native, loaned Stevenson a modified car, his own, to race in the event and another friend, Don Hammer, loaned Trista a late model to race as well.
After the modified had difficulty, Trista turned her concentration on the late model and made the most of the opportunity.
Because of wet conditions, each driver was given only one lap of practice and one qualifying lap to make the show.
Twenty-six cars were going to make the race on their qualifying time. For Stevenson, it would be especially difficult because she had never stepped into a late model or onto a track the length of Oglethorpe.
Her practice lap went smooth so then it time to qualify. Reaching speeds of nearly 130 miles per hour down the back stretch, Trista was able to qualify for the race with a time that landed her in 25th position.
When it came to race time, Stevenson was able to pass cars quickly, but because many caution flags flew, the race was limited to only 13 laps. But in that short amount of time, she was able to move up six spots to a 20th place finish.
All through the day, Harvick called Kenny to get updates on Trista's progress at Oglethorpe.
"It was pretty cool," Kenny said, "She loved it."
Trista's success in Georgia has opened a door for her this season.
Rather than race the sportsman class car she had success in last season, Kenny said that plans are in the making to put his daughter into a late model for the entire 2006 season at Mt. Vernon Raceway and at Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway.
" I think She got the bug to go faster," Kenny said.
