“It isn’t always a good indicator of who is going to be fast”. Just happy to be a part of this Nationwide team.

– Bobby Santos won Friday afternoon’s NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event at NHMS, beating Eric Goodale to the finish line by.127 seconds. Right now you can just look at the scoreboard every week, or the speed charts – our Toyotas are really fast.
Matt Kenseth celebrates in Victory Lane after winning at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday.
But one thing the Middletown native won’t be thinking about is getting injured while racing. “I’m confident that (crew chief) Matt (Puccia) will give me another good AdvoCare Ford this weekend and that we can get up there and have another strong run on Sunday”.
For the record, he doesn’t dominate triathlons with quite the same authority he has on the racetrack, but I’d certainly bet on him to beat the majority of the field at his race later this month. “That is a huge distraction if you think about it in the race vehicle and you will never win again”.
Leaders Summary (Driver, Times Lead, Laps Led): Kyle Busch 4 times for 133 laps; M. Truex Jr 5 times for 123 laps; M. Kenseth 2 times for 38 laps; D. Hamlin 1 time for 5 laps; B. Keselowski 1 time for 1 lap; J. Johnson 1 time for 1 lap.
“That’s what it’s all about”, team owner Joe Gibbs said.
Whenever I venture onto public roads on my bike, I feel like I’m at the mercy of the cars whizzing past me. Though technically an experienced Sprint Cup Series driver, the injury relief start in place of Dale Earnhardt Jr. was Bowman’s first-ever for a competitive team, his debut in a vehicle capable of finishing in the top 25 without the aid of brilliant strategy or incredible fortune. Edwards did break through for a Chase-sealing win at Charlotte, but he was on edge. When you get to the playoffs you never know what’s going to happen. I had three seconds to think about it before I hit the wall and I thought it would be bad.
It was at Loudon where things started to settle.
The second-place finish for Jones was his 10th top five of the season.
And what’s more impressive than his prowess as a triathlete is his ability to blend in at his foundation’s Wellness Challenge events, which benefit K-12 public education and include the JJF 5K in May, the Cane Creek race and the Lake Davidson Sprint Triathlon on September 11. Each of the three teammates were among the top 10 in practice on Friday as well.
Seventeenth in the standings at this point past year, he’s risen to fourth, and the idea of Edwards making a run for his first championship is looking like a stronger and stronger possibility each week. I settled in and feel like I’m doing a better job now. “Proud of them guys”, Earnhardt tweeted.
Even when Edwards doesn’t win, he has his chances.
If there is a catbird seat in NASCAR, Brad Keselowski now is king of that roost. Keselowski has been carrying a big stick, particularly lately.
