 Kyle Bush led all 200 laps today at the Phoenix International Raceway.  Kyle Busch beat Carl Edwards by 0.514 and Carl was battling for the race lead towards the end but used up his tires and was forced to finish in the second spot.  Some race fans don’t like to see Kyle Busch dominate in NASCAR, but you atleast have to respect for what he has done.  Kyle Busch will be on everyone’s list to watch in all 3 top NASCAR racing series races this year.  Another driver who did real well in the NASCAR nationwide series race today was Kenny Wallace started 18^th and finished in the 10^th position.  Some race stats from today’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race time elapsed 1 hr 48 minutes 31 seconds, 3 cautions, 15 caution laps, 1 race leaders, 0 lead changes, 12 cars finished on the lead lap, and average speed was 112.270 miles per hour.

         Today at Daytona international speedway 20 year old Trevor Bayne from Knoxville, TN wins the Daytona 500 in just his 1^st try, it was Trevor’s 2^nd NASCAR sprint cup series start driving for the famous #21 Wood Brothers Ford Fusion. His very first, and only cup start in 2010 came at the Texas motor speedway in the fall race last year, he finished 17^th and on the lead lap that day. Trevor Bayne elected to receive his points over in the NASCAR nationwide series instead of the sprint cup series since Trevor is running full time in the NASCAR nationwide series, and part time in the NASCAR sprint cup series in 2011. In the press conference after the race today at Daytona Trevor in a joking mood said ’’I should ask Mike Hilton NASCAR’s president if we can change the series where we get our points in.’’ Today at Daytona their was a lot of records broken for the number of lead changes, and cautions, but also the record was broken for the youngest Daytona 500 winner by 20 yrs 1 day was set by Trevor Bayne today at Daytona. The old record was held by Jeff Gordon at 25 years, 6 months and 12 days. Trevor started 31^st in today’s race. Here is the top 10 in today’s Daytona 500 1^st Trevor Bayne #21, 2^nd Carl Edwards #99, 3^rd David Gilliland #34, 4^th Bobby Labonte #47, 5^th Kurt Busch #22, 6^th Juan Pablo Montoya #42, 7^th Ragan Smith #78, 8^th Kyle Busch #18, 9^th Paul Menard #27, 10^th Mark Martin #5. This week at Daytona we seen a lot of two car tangos, and seen speeds well over 200 mph for the NASCAR nationwide series, and in the NASCAR sprint cup series this weekend on the nice and smooth new surface. Most of the drivers explained that you could almost have a full cup of coffee in your hand and cant spill a drop going around the new smooth surface around Daytona Rusty Wallace said right before the NASCAR nationwide series race on Saturday afternoon.
