Sorenson scores his second Busch win
While I would have preferred to see a Wallace win the Wallace Family Tribute 250, especially Rusty, I'm happy that one of my favorites did win. Not only did he win, he gained 100 points on Truex, mainly because Truex had some trouble with a loose wheel. Once again the points race has tightened up again with Bowyer being 70 points behind Truex and Sorenson 84 points behind.
The cautions that came out were mainly from the car on the inside getting loose or old tires vs. new tires. That's one thing that bothered me about Rusty's wreck, most articles just say he crashed. Well, yeah, he crashed, but with some help from Jon Wood, he didn't do it by himself. I guess the whole problem is that the guys with fresh tires seem to think that they can go through the ones on old tires. I realize they are faster, so I guess I just don't understand why they don't go around the ones on old tires since they are faster instead of bumping and/or wrecking them out of the way.

Kathy,
I guess they figure that if the don't get out of their way they will just give them a little help. Nothing will ever be done to stop it unless someone get killed because of it.

I don't understand completely but it has been explained to me the "closing rate is so great" as opposed to those on old tires. I suppose when passing is so difficult, they seem more often to go through than around.
