| Blaney wins dirt NASCAR night | Thursday 7/24, 10:01 PM CT |
|
Dave Blaney held off several NASCAR drivers in the M&M's NASCAR Night of Stars Modified race at Ken Schrader's I-55 Speedway in Pevely, Mo. on Wednesday night.
Our View: Brendan Gaughan and Tony Stewart battled for the runner-up position on this bull ring. It must have been nice to let off some steam before the pressures of Indy. |

| N'Wide: Toyota disappointed in NASCAR decision | Thursday 7/24, 5:47 PM CT |
|
Toyota Racing Development President Lee White expressed disappointment in NASCAR's mandate to alter the spacer on their engine, which is intended to reduce horsepower. Toyota—most notably JGR with Tony Stewart their lion's share—have dominated the second series all year.
Our View: White says the credit for running fast belongs to the teams—not the engines—but at least one of their cars proved to have a significant power advantage in last week's test. |

| Smith wins short track race | Thursday 7/24, 4:24 PM CT |
|
Kevin Harvick wasn't the only driver visiting his roots this past weekend. Regan Smith competed in and won a CarQuest Maritime Late Model sanctioned short track race at Riverside Speedway in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Our View: Smith bettered some of Canada's best short track races, but also his DEI teammate Aric Almirola, who finished seventh in the IWX 250. |

| Labonte to race Pocono | Thursday 7/24, 10:11 AM CT |
|
Terry Labonte will sub for Patrick Carpentier at Pocono Raceway in August, allowing the rookie to concentrate on his efforts in the Nationwide race in his native Canada.
Our View: It seems that no one wants to allow Labonte to retire. Pocono is one of his better tracks, however, so he will be a welcome addition to the roster. |
