HAMPTON, Ga. - Kurt Busch survived two green-white-checkered finishes and a flurry of accidents in the final laps to score his second straight win in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Busch won his third straight race on a 1.5-mile speedway and gave new crew chief Steve Addington his first victory with the Miller Lite Dodge team.
In Lucky Dog Racing's Cup Series, It's been a rough start to the season for R.J. Palmer. He finished 37th, 36th and 39th in the first three races of the season and came into Atlanta in last place. R.J. isn't in the basement anymore because he surprised everyone by winning the Kobalt Tools 500, his 2nd career victory. The last time that R.J. visited victory lane it was back in October 2008 at Lowe's Motor Speedway. That race was won with Intimidator Racing, Inc. and it was a very special first victory. This win is just as special because it's his first win as a team owner.
Kobalt Tools 500 Top 5 Winners
1. R.J. Palmer
2. Randy Cook
3. Dean Higley
4. Ed Blackman
5. Larry Scroggins
Kevin Harvick used a fast car to battle back from a bad day on pit road for the No. 33 team to score his second NASCAR Nationwide Series victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Harvick had the dominant car, leading 82 laps, but was forced to make up positions on the race track after the pit crew stumbled on two stops.
Harvick took the lead for good on the race's final restart on lap 175 when he got around Denny Hamlin. From there, Harvick went on to capture his 35th career win by 1.361 seconds over Hamlin.
In Lucky Dog Racing's Nationwide Series, After two weeks of Teeder Jenkins sitting on top of the standings, we have a new leader after Randy Cook moves to the top thanks to a dominating victory in Las Vegas. After the points record was broken last week at California, Randy came within 5 points of tying that new record. Randy scored a total of 485 points and became the third different winner in the first three races of the year. It was the 4th career victory for Randy in the Nationwide series and first since June 2007 at New Hampshire.

HAMPTON, Ga. - Three was the charm for Kevin Harvick Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Harvick has now won in NASCAR's top three divisions at Atlanta Motor Speedway after he completed the trifecta with a win in Saturday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series E-Z-GO 200.
Harvick, who has also won in all three divisions at Phoenix, turned in a dominating performance leading 100 laps to score an easy win over runnerup Kyle Busch, who rebounded from his Daytona disappointment to score a good finish for his new truck team.
In Lucky Dog Racing's Truck series,Three weeks ago, Jordan Hunt probably wasn't too excited about his 22nd place finish in the season opening race at Daytona. That finish would prove to be most useful in Atlanta since Jordan was battling it out with Thomas Brownie at the finish line. Both drivers had the winning set of picks by using the same exact drivers. The next deadline would go to current standings position and Jordan had the edge over Thomas who finished 28th at Daytona. Jordan was awarded the win which was his 2nd in the Truck series. His only other win came at this same track back in 2007. Jordan ends the league's third longest winless streak as he finally puts an end to a 76 race winless drought.

The 2010 LROC season kicked off in Daytona with Lucky Dog Racing in a familiar place, 2nd place in the standings. Although the team didn't have a strong of a start as they would have liked, they weren't put into a hole either. P10 Select took the team victory with owner Steve Willard taking the win.
Matt Sealey led Lucky Dog Racing with a 3rd place showing. He was the owner LDR driver to make the top 5, but two more finished in the top 5. Lou Demian took 6th place while Ed Blackman finished in 4th. Dean Higley finished 11th, Nathan Helton 13th and Jessy Turgeon 17th. Overall the team scored 8,463 points and start the season 381 points behind P10 Select. The Cool Pool are 311 points behind Lucky Dog Racing in 4rd.
