Week 2 Commentary

With the bizarre events surround the 54th Daytona 500 behind us, it was back to business as usual at Phoenix International Raceway for the running of the Fresh Fit Subway 500.

Former Nebraska and current Detroit Lions All Pro defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh gave the command to start engines.

Things did not go well early for Kasey Kahne, who slapped the wall on lap 4, but it was fairly uneventful. Jimmie Johnson responded from a horrible Daytona to post a good finish.

In the league, Budah, Team Cuda and SPC Racing ties for the top spot, followed by Cane Racing and Team BC. Team Wolf, Offshore Gamester and BMF Lugnuts were among those who blew an engine.

Many whipsaw moves took place in the standings, which is typical for the first three or so weeks. Team BC, Budah, The Big Lebowski, SPC, WTF and Chief all gained 20 or more spots. Rookie driver North 79 Liquor, Pamela's Pistons and Team Hot Stuff all fell at least 20 spots. Team Steve O, MMSH and BAHL have seemingly tossed anchor in the back.

This week we are in Las Vegas for the Kobalt Tools 400. Five time is in a backup after crashing in Friday practice. Kasey Kahne sits on the pole while Joey Logano won happy hour practice. Many of drivers will be remembering Indy Car racer Dan Wheldon, who lost his life in a horrific crash here at Vegas last fall.

The green flag drops at 3:16PM. Good Luck!
