The typical NASCAR Sprint Cup “economy” runs like Last Sunday’s at MIS is what turns off NASCAR fans when they are forced to dig up mucho money for a “non-economy” ticket. It appears as though NASCAR and Sprint Cup teams have not as yet figured out that the exorbitant prices for tickets, among other factors, is what turns them off. Although I’m told that if your looking for tickets for any race you can haggle over them. Lots of empty seats at MIS.
Joey Logano, who started on the pole, won that one because his crew chief was able to determine that he’d have enough fuel to go the distance. The Middletown, Conn., driver ended up inheriting the lead when then leader Mark Martin exited as his fuel tank ran dry with only four laps to go. It was Joey’s first win of the season.
But the good paying customer wants to see lively competition with two or more drivers coming down to the checkers, not the same old, same old economy runs. That also is another factor contributing to the lack of ticket sales.

Kyle Busch was the big winner on the annual visit to the Watkins Glen, NY road course. Settling for less was Brad Keselowski, the runner-up, followed by Martin Truex, Jr., Carl Edwards and Juan Pablo Montoya who came in fifth. Then it was Clint Bowyer, Joey Logano and Jimmy Johnson who placed eighth. That road course win was Kyle Busch’s 27th career win and his third this year.
Kyle said, “It’s just great to win here before The Chase comes up. It wasn’t easy because I had some problems earlier with cold tires and I had to take it easy. Second place driver Brad Keselowski revealed, “I should have pushed harder on the last lap. I took Kyle right to the edge and he just wouldn’t cave.” Martin Truex, Jr. reflected, “Kyle was better than the rest of us.” Junior revealed, “The late caution didn’t help us at all. Overall I say it was not a good day.” Some of the problems included grass from the track getting into the air dams and into the brakes.
Road course expert Marcos Ambrose started on the pole and he’s also won races at The Glen. However, he had problems and went out of the race, and he was not all happy about it. Jeff Gordon was another one that ended up out of the race.
