Road courses aren’t exactly my favorite style of racing. I would usually tell you to get rid of the 2 road courses, along with Pocono and some of the cookie cutter mile and a half tracks and add a few more races at bull rings like Bristol and Martinsville, or another race at Talladega – but the race at Infineon was one of the best races of the year.

The Shootout Style double file restarts really kept everything interesting in the final laps.

I couldn’t believe Kasey Kahne could hold off a skilled road racer like Tony Stewart for that many restarts. It looked like Kahne had his car dialed in – and some serious horsepower under the hood.

It was good to see Richard Petty back in Victory Lane for the first time in a long time, too.

So what did you think about road course racing, Kahne’s and Petty’s win and everything else going on in the race?

The Marketing crew at Texas Motor Speedway has been working late to come up with some creative advertising to sell tickets to the Dickies 500 coming up in November.

Kim Ramon from Texas sent these in for your viewing pleasure, along with this note:

Greg, here’s a couple more billboards! I hope TMS is paying their marketing people a bundle because they’re geniuses!

I’m sure there’s more around. I’ll send them when I get them. Enjoy!

This Kasey Kahne billboard is located in Fort Worth, Texas on I-35W southbound right after the downtown Fort Worth mixmaster.

Don’t miss the Kyle Busch Black Hat billboard, or the Dale Jr billboard.
