Greg Zipadelli rolled the dice and called a perfect weather-race to bring Joey Logano in first today at the rain shortened Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.   The win is rookie’s first in Sprint Cup compeition.

Mark Martin best at saving fuel at Michigan

Mark Martin has again made Dale Jr. look bad, and won yet another Sprint Cup race in 2009.  The old dude won a fuel mileage race at Michigan International (image that) today, beating his out-of-fuel teammate Jimmy Johnson and an out-of-fuel Greg Biffle in the closing laps.  The media has called the finish “exciting”.
