Car of Tomorrow Meets the Monster
Making the Grade-Dover Spring Race

By Dennis Michelsen

Pace Laps
Diehard fans returned for a Monday rain out special in big numbers

So that's what it is like to go RIGHT to the race coverage, I like it

Someone finally beat Hendrick at their own game with the new car

So long for the season Fox Sports, we shall miss you

Rest in peace Mr. France

Nextel Cup- Dover International Raceway

1. Martin Truex Jr
2. Ryan Newman
3. Carl Edwards
4. Denny Hamlin
5. Matt Kenseth
6. Greg Biffle
7. Mark Martin
8. Clint Bowyer
9. Jeff Gordon
10. Robby Gordon

F for Kurt Busch
The old Kurt Busch has returned! Let me see if I got this right. You come up into another car and spin yourself out while damaging the other guy's car and you get ticked off enough at him to bang into him on pit road? Welcome back Kurt, where have you been?

D for Dale Earnhardt's Tires
Blame it on the setup this week with Junior's tires. When you lose two tires in the same race while only a few others are having issues you know it is most likely the set up and not Goodyear's fault for once.

C for Sterling Marlin
Whenever your name starts circulating in the rumor mill about being replaced even a 16th place run is welcome news for a struggling team. Will Sterling be the next driver to cut back to a part time deal next season?

B for Ryan Newman
It was great to see Ryan not only win the pole but also be competitive all race long. A win will be coming soon for this talented driver who has been through so much turmoil with his cars the past year and a half!

A for Martin Truex Jr
Martin and DEI deserved to win one like this in dominating fashion. Last week after Casey Mears won his first it was suggested this might open the floodgates to more wins. But that was a gas mileage gift while Truex's win was a dominant performance. Look for that No. 1 car to win again real soon.

Extra Credit for Robby Gordon
One of the last real racers left in this business, Robby doubled up with an off road race and a Nextel Cup top ten in the same weekend!
