Park wins
Steve Park won the truck race at California, making him the tenth driver to win in all three of NASCAR's top three series (Cup, Busch & Truck). The race itself, wasn't that exciting, at least not as exciting as the truck races go. It almost seemed like if the commentators talked about you, that you'd better watch out. They were talking about how well David Starr was doing and how he had the dominant truck and then he wrecked. Under the last caution of the race, everyone was wondering why Mike Bliss didn't pit, according to reports, they were only two laps short and a few more caution laps would help them make it to the finish, so they didn't want to give up first. Mike Bliss was filling in for Sprague who got hurt on Wednesday in an incident at home. Well, their calculations were a bit off, with six to go, Bliss ran out of fuel and that put Park in the lead with Hamilton trying to close in. Hamilton was never able to catch him and Park because the tenth driver to win in all three of NASCAR's top series. Ricky Craven finished third, Todd Kluever fourth and Musgrave finished fifth.

It looks like Park found himself a series that he can drive in confidently since the accident. He made an unsuccessful attempt at returning to Cup cars and it didn't work.

Ahh, you make me jealous Kathy. Being based in the Philippines the only NASCAR events I see are the Cup races, and those are taped delayed about 6 hours.
All of which means I must hide from racing blogs and TV sports reports so watching the race isn't spoiled by knowing the winner.
