Great Weekend Of racing

Finally, a weekend of some pretty exciting racing. The past several weeks of NASCAR racing was great for an insomniac but boring for race fans.
On Saturday, the Nationwide tour was in Wisconsin, at Elkhart Lake Road America. The racing during the race was ok, but the ending of the race was bizarre, at best.
From ESPN: The day would end in disappointment for Allgaier, Fellows and the driver who dominated much of the race, Michael McDowell.
Allgaier took the lead from McDowell on the second of three attempts at a green-white-checkered overtime finish. Allgaier held the lead after the final restart and appeared to have the win sealed up when the yellow flag waved for the final time because of another rash of crashes.
But Allgaier didn't have enough fuel to make it to the finish after running so many extra laps on the four-mile road course, and making it back to the finish line is required under NASCAR rules even though the race finished under yellow.
Sorenson and Fellows took the checkered flag side-by-side and both drivers seemed to think they'd won, and NASCAR officials took several minutes to declare Sorenson the winner.
"I don't agree with the ruling, but it is what it is," Fellows said.

It was much more exciting and interesting watching the ending than reading about it.
Then the Indy IZOD race was in Iowa on Saturday night. if you want to watch an exciting race, start from finish, the race in Iowa is your race. It is one of the most exciting races of the year, with all the side by side racing, intertwined with some crashes. Third generation racer, Marco Andretti won the race when he passed Tony Kaanan with 18 short laps to go.

Today, the Sprint cars were in Somona, CA, at the Infinion race track and while former Las Vegan Kurt Busch dominated the race, the other stories were the main story of the race. The funniest part was when Brian Vickers retaliated against Tony Stewart and put Stewart's back end of his car 4 foot up on some tires leaving Stewart just sitting there. Oh, to be a fly in the helmet of Stewart.

Finally, a car thought it was an airplane when flew off the course at Road America:
