NASCAR NEWS

Congratulations to Matt Kenseth winner of 51st running of the Daytona 500. Due to a rain shortened race Matt Kenseth has won the Great American Race and the long overdue dream of his team has come true.

Controversy is still surrounding the #44 car from Richard Petty Motorsports. Kyle Petty is rumored to be very upset that RPM used the retro paint scheme that featured Kyle Petty's first win, without his permission after he was not included in the four-driver set for the new team.

Stewart-Haas Racing had a shakey week at Daytona, but still had a very good showing for their first races. Ryan Newman blew a tire in final practice for the Daytona 500 which caused both he and Tony Stewart to wreck. Both drivers had to use a back up car for the 500 and start at the back of the pack. Tony Stewart finished 7th, a great showing for his first race an owner/driver.

I hope to hear from you sometime soon, either in the forum or in response to this email message. I thrive on your feedback!

Have fun passing this message along to family and friends, because we all love free knowledge!
