NASCAR Cup Series

America has always had those who led them to the promised land. Daniel Boone blazed the Wilderness Road. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark followed the Missouri River enroute to the Pacific. Jim Bridger helped open the way to the wonders of Yellowstone.

Want to know what’s killing NASCAR? Maybe is the lack of parity. It isn’t talked about much these days, but years ago it was a topic of conversation. If one team for one brand became dominant, the sanctioning body would step in to make thing equal. In those days, it was important to level the playing field for all brands. You see brand was important. I thought it had come full circle by now, but I was wrong.

The all-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series leader in road course victories with nine, Gordon has experienced success at Watkins Glen International. In 20 starts at the 2.45-mile track, the driver of the No. 24 Drive To End Hunger Chevrolet SS has four wins, two poles, six top-fives and nine top-10's. But while he has reeled off eight consecutive top-10 finishes at Sonoma, Gordon has only two here during that span.

It was a bittersweet win for Kahne in that he had to take it from his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jeff Gordon, driver of the No. 24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet SS, on his birthday.

CARL EDWARDS, No. 99 Fastenal Ford Fusion (Finished 11th) – “We ended up 11th which is probably about where we deserved to end up. I thought we would be worse after that speeding penalty. I am glad we were able to bounce back from that. I would have loved to finish better than that but that is as hard as I can go. Me, Greg and Marcos were racing and doing everything we could. I watched them and we did everything we could do but wreck at the finish there. We need to keep working on our cars. It is better than last week, which is good.”
