Infineon Raceway, Toyota/Save Mart 350 June 22, 2008

Kyle Busch comes from 30th to first to win the Toyota/Save Mart 350. He also led the most laps and leads the championship points race. This is his fifth win in the Nextel Cup this season.

Well it was a usual NASCAR road race, boring. It may be fun watching it live but TNT likes to show more commercials than the actual race.

It's no fun for me watching someone lead every lap (unless it's my favorite driver). It did get exciting towards the end though. I also don't like how they hire all the road course ringers to take the places of the regular drivers.
I did, however, like that the Wood Brothers hired Marcos Ambrose to driver the 21 car. He races in the Nationwide series every weekend and I was glad to see that they gave him the chance to run his first NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race. He did a great job until he got wrecked and broke a gear on lap 84. I think you will see him back in that car again this season.

The most exciting part was the wreck with less than 10 laps to go that involved the third, fourth and fifth place cars of Stewart, McMurray and Harvick.

Jeff Gordon got a great finish after having such a bad car all day long. Hendrick Motorsports had 3 finish in the top 12. Earnhardt Jr finished 12
