When the dust had cleared at Las Vegas, Sunday had featured two folks in my opinion. One was Tony Stewart, who won this early in the season way back in...well, never.
They looked similar, with the same track and cars that appeared comparable. However, where the Nationwide race at Phoenix on Saturday was brutally boring, the televised action Sunday kept one interested from start to finish.

TPC Racing launched its highly anticipated USAC Mustang Cup campaign in fine fashion last weekend at Sebring International Raceway, securing two podium finishes in the season-opening doubleheader.
