Matt Kenseth won the rain shortened Daytona 500 last Sunday, today he won with the fastest car in Fontana California. Jeff Gordon didn’t have anything for Kenseth after the last pit stop. On a couple of occasions he pulled to Kenseths’ bumper but didn’t have enough tires or power to complete the pass.

Kyle Busch finished a disappointing third after winning two of the NASCAR races on Saturday. He seemed to be disappointed with third after the way he started the weekend in California.

This was a disappointing weekend for the Hendrick Racing team other than Gordons’ second place finish. Both Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Mark Martin had engine problems on the same lap that put both of them in the garage.

Tony Stewart finished eighth at Fontana, after leading during the 500 mile race. An eighth place finish was very respectable considering Stewart has started a new team.

The race in Fontana California was slowed by caution flags eight times, seven times because of rain falling on the race track. The other flag was thrown for a blown engine in the car driven by Kevin Harvick. The engine exploded causing the right front tire to blow. At that point Harvick pounded the wall hard. He was uninjured in the crash.

Next week the Sprint Cup Series moves to Las Vegas Nevada. Hopefully it will be a dry weekend with great racing for the fans.
