NASCAR Cup Series

JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 DUPONT CHEVROLET, FINISHED 2ND: OUTSIDE THE TOP 20 AT ONE POINT THE CAR WAS PLOWING, SIDEWAYS LOOSE WAS THIS A STATEMENT KIND OF DAY WHEN THE TEAM SALVAGED THEIR DAY? "It certainly was. It was as much a statement to us as anything else. "

KURT BUSCH (No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Dodge Charger R/T) Finished 1st “It was an unbelievable setup. Once we got into the groove with this car, it seemed to get better after lap five or six."

CARL EDWARDS, No. 99 Scotts Ortho Ford Fusion (Finished 3rd) “I am really proud of my team for the way we battled today. It was just a crazy race and for us to be able to work our way up to where we finished just says a ton about my Aflac crew and Bob and everyone."

Kurt Busch dominated Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway by leading 75 of the 110 laps in route to his first road course victory of his career.

Short track racing as we know today is dying a very slow death, and with that it’s not hard to look around and see how many of them have closed their gates in the last five to 10 years.

DALE EARNHARDT, JR., NO. 88 AMP ENERGY/NATIONAL GUARD CHEVROLET, INVOLVED IN MULTI-CAR INCIDENT IN TURN 11 ON LAP 38, RETIRED FROM RACE AS A RESULT OF DAMAGE TO RADIATOR RESULTING IN ENGINE FAILURE: WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE? "We had made the car better during that first stop."

Once known as a road course king, Jeff Gordon was more a menace to his competitors during last season’s Toyota/SaveMart 350.

Carl Edwards did what most diehard race car drivers just hate to do and that is to pull out of any event.

Its time to go road racing for the first time in the 2011. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series makes its next stop in Sonoma, California on Sunday for the first of two road courses on the 2011 Cup schedule.
