Chase Elliott blew a tire only 87 laps into the race. He finished 37th, and fell to third. The points standings. He still has those two wins this season to keep him motivated, but for now, the Nationwide Series heads to Dover International Speedway for the Buckle Up 200 (2:30 PM E.T., ESPN), followed by the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series the next day at the same track (Not to mention, I will be attending that race).

In a race that started with Austin Dillon on the pole, Clint Bowyer and AJ Allmendinger are heading into tomorrow night's NASCAR Sprint All Star Race.

Dillon took a commanding lead at the start of the second segment, but soon fell back to 7th place.

Marcos Ambrose spun on lap two, but continued on in the race.

Clint Bowyer had many fights for the lead, but he wound up in tomorrow night's race. The race has been clearly dominated by Jimmie Johnson, who won it last year, and 2012 as well as 2003, and 2006. Kasey Kahne won the 2009 NASCAR Sprint All Star Race after being the fan vote, something that the fan vote, Josh Wise truly has to look up to in tommorow nights NASCAR Sprint All Star Race.

Kansas City, Kansas--- In a race that seemed to have everything, from thunder warnings to backstretch power outages, making Danica say, "What is this, the Superbowl?" considering you remember Superbowl 47 between the San Fransisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens, Jeff Gordon stood out on top.

Harvick had such a good run on the last lap. He went from seconds behind Gordon to being right at his bumper at the line. Gordon won his first race at Kansas in 2001, and became the first driver to win a night race there.

Marcos Ambrose had an accident that spent him spinning in the frontstretch grass. He saved it, and belive it or not, landed in pit road. Landon Cassill was also involved in an accident that sent Michael Annett spinning, Ryan Truex spinning, etc.

Clint Bowyer spun on lap 47. Nobody was involved, but he did an excellent job saving it. Ryan Blaney did an EXCELLENT job avoiding it, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. did a great job not hitting Ryan Blaney.

Danica finished 7th, her best Sprint Cup Series finish.

With Kyle Busch finally winning at Kansas Speedway, and even though it is not a Sprint Cup victory, Kyle Busch might have motivation to win this weekend's Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway.

Busch led 104 laps last night, en route to retaking the lead with 21 laps to go. 

Nine cautions in total created a caution-filled feel to this race, especially when Bryan Silas wrecked with 42 laps to go.

Austin Dillon and Kyle Busch went into pit road along with others. Dillon took two tires and Busch took 4. Busch passed Dillon after Dillon led for some time after the restart.

Busch won the race, Matt Crafton finished second, Joey Logano finished third, Dillon unfortunately finished 4th, and Tayler Malsam.

Busch's win was the 37th time a driver won an NCWTS (NASCAR Camping World Truck Series) race from the pole, and made Eric Phillips the all-time winning crew chief in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series with 29 wins.

Camping World has extended their contract with the NASCAR Truck Series for an extra seven seasons after the 2014 season.

When created in 1995, the series used to be the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series until 2009, when Craftsman lost its sponsorship, and was given to Camping World, one year after NEXTEL lost its rights to the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, and became the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2008.

The series has had such a history. The series was established in 1995, and since then, it has been bringing action to NASCAR fans since then, like the MudSummer Classic last year at Eldora Speedway, which is a track partly owned by Tony Stewart.

Camping World CEO Marcus Lemois told the SportsBusiness Journal that Camping World went from earning 1.5 Billion Dollars annually to 3 Billion Dollars annually. Also, he stated that there have been 27 openings of new Camping World stores thanks to the sponsorship.

Denny Hamlin wins at Talladega

By Joey Gucciardo, UNB! Staff Member

Talladega, AL--- Denny Hamlin scored his first restrictor plate victory at Talladega yesterday.

Jimmie Johnson had a wreck with 16 laps to go. He got loose on his own in Turn 4, and created a wreck that took out Joey Logano, and others. It was the same spot where Brad Keselowski wrecked earlier in the race.

Brian Scott started on the pole position for the race. Danica Patrick led only 6 laps in yesterday's Aaron's 499.

Denny Hamlin must be happy with his Talladega win yesterday.

TALLADEGA, AL--- With 5 laps to go, Ryan Blaney driving the No. 22 Discount Tire car was nudged and caused a wreck involving Chase Elliott, Kasey Kahne, Chad Boat, etc. Sadler, with pressure from many other drivers who overheated their cars, was still able to win the race in spectacular fashion.

Ryan Blaney's car was destroyed, but he was stll able to get it repaired just a little bit after the Red Flag was waived off and the Yellow Flag was waived. When we went back racing with three laps to go, Sadler had some huge competition on his way to the checkered flag.

Sam Hornish Jr. started on the pole. But it was Chris Buescher and Regan Smith who really gave Sadler a run for his money, and the victory in the Aaron's 312.
