As usual, the talk in the NASCAR Busch Series this year is the domination of Nextel Cup drivers. Because of the change in testing rules, there are even more guys driving both series. The Busch Series owners like James Finch are complaining. The drivers don't seem to care much. David Green said in an interview yesterday that it doesn't bother him. Either way, don't expect NASCAR to do anything to limit Nextel Cup drivers in the Busch Series. They believe it helps attendance. So who was on the pole in last night's Sam's Town 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway? Matt Kenseth in the #17 Pennzoil Ford. What else is new?
Kenseth led the first part of the race and would duel for the victory with Kasey Kahne-#9 Ragu Dodge and Kevin Harvick-#21 Coast Guard Chevy. When David Gilliland's blown engine in the #84 Ranchwood Homes Chevy brought out a late race caution, that set up a green/white/checker finish. Kahne held off Kenseth for the win. The highest finishing Busch Series only regular was Jason Leffler-#32 Lucas Oil Chevy in 11th. It's going to be like this all year.
Canadian Paul Tracy-#34 Sport Clips/American Crew Chevy had a flat tire early in the race put him a lap down. Later in the race he had trouble entering pit road and was penalized. He finished 36th.
