Busch Makes History With The Bristol Trifecta


Kyle Busch became the first driver in history to win the Cup, Nationwide and Truck series races all in the same weekend.



Marty Fleissner Rules The Night At Bristol

It seemed to take forever for Marty Fleissner to finally win his first Cup race but he finally did it in the final race last season. Now that he knows how to win it didn't take him nearly as long to get his 2nd. Marty wins the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway after scoring a total of 295 points and winning by just 5 points over 2nd place. Unfortunately the rest of the members on Randy Cook Racing did not do as well as their teammate. All three finished in the bottom 10 resulting in losing 5 points for the team. Marty was the third different win for the team this season.

Marty hasn't had the season like he was hoping for this year. In 2008 he made the Chase but struggled the following season. This year he's struggling again and has been stuck down in the standings. The win is just the first top 5 appearance for Marty but could spark something for the rest of the season. Even though he won't even get near the Chase he could work his way up to the top 20 or even top 15 with some more good runs.

Leon Baker is trying to win rookie of year and helps his bid with a nice 2nd place finish this week. It is the 3rd time that he's finished in the top 2 and his 4th top 5. Even though Leon is below John Magee in the standings, he is currently leading him by 12 points in the ROTY race.

Terry Howell takes 3rd for his best run of the season. It's Terry's 2nd top 5 and gives his team Outcast Racing 8 points in the standings. He moves up 3 spots to 24th place.

Bob Douce is trying his best to make the Chase for the 4th straight year and gets a big lift this week as he finishes 4th to work his way into 14th place. With 2 races left he has just 36 points to make up on the final Chase spot.

Rounding out the top 5 is Dean Higley who gets his league leading 7th top 5 of the year. He was one of all four RTI members to land in the top 10 this week. All 4 are primed to make the Chase and will most likely lock in when we return in 2 weeks at Atlanta Motor Speedway.





The Power Gauge:
Bristol

Hot Dog - Mark Mason
After Nathan Helton made the top of the Power Gauge last week, he gets knocked back one spot this week. Nathan had a top 5 at Michigan and has been really hot over the past 6 races, he just had that one stumble at Watkins Glen. However over the past 5 races there has been someone just a bit hotter. Mark Mason has a win, a top 5 and two top 10's to make it 4 consecutive top 10 finishes. Mark moves to the top of the Power Gauge for the first time this year and 5th time in his career. He led for 2 weeks in 2006 and 2 last season. He's hoping to lead again next week to make it his third multiple week season.

As mentioned, Nathan moves down just one spot to 2nd place while Leon Baker moves all the way up to 3rd place. Leon is the highest mover of the week after jumping up 17 spots.

Terry Howell moves into 4th place after jumping up 8 spots, it is the highest that he's been this year. Stephen DiCaprio rounds out the top 5 after dropping one spot to 5th.
