				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Monday, JR Motorsports announced the plans for its No. 5 Nationwide Series entry for the remainder of the 20009 season.</p>
<p>The No. 5 Chevy will be split among team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr, all-time series wins leader Mark Martin, Ryan Newman, Tony Stewart, and Scott Wimmer.</p>
<p>Jr will drive at Texas Motor Speedway in April, Talladega Superspeedway in April, Lowe&#8217;s Motor Speedway in May, Daytona International Speedway in July and Atlanta Motor Speedway in Sept. in Chevys that will be sponsored by Fastenal, Godaddy.com, and Unilever.</p>
<p>Martin will drive the Chevy at Richmond International Raceway in May with Lipton as a sponsor. Tony Stewart will drive at Lowe&#8217;s Motor Speedway in Oct. with Delphi as a sponsor. Stewart already has one victory in the series this season, winning the Camping World 300 at Daytona in a Hendrick Motorsports Chevy.</p>
<p>Newman will drive the No. 5 Fastenal Chevy in four races: Dover International Speedway in May, Chicagoland Speedway in July, Michigan International Speedway in Aug., and Kansas Speedway in Oct.</p>
<p>Wimmer will also pilot the No. 5 Fastenal Chevy for six races: Darlington Raceway in May, The Milwaukee Mile in June, O&#8217;Reilly Raceway Park in July, Iowa Speedway in Aug., Bristol Motor Speedway in Aug., and Richmond International Raceway in Sept.</p>
<p>Wimmer said in a JR Motorsports press release:</p>
<blockquote><p>I am really excited to be associated with JR Motorsports and a great sponsor like Fastenal. I will be running at tracks that have been good for me in the past and look forward to my first event with JR Motorsports at Darlington in May. Hopefully, we can get the Fastenal car in the Winners Circle.</p></blockquote>
<p>The announcement leaves two races without a named driver &#8212; the road-course events at Watkins Glen and Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, both in Aug. Drivers for those races will be announced at a later date. Last season, Ron Fellows drove the No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevy to victory in the NAPA Auto Parts 200 presented by Dodge at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, so he may be considered for that race.</p>
<p>Earnhardt Jr. drove at Watkins Glen last year, presumably to get more experience at road courses, so he may take one of those races.</p>
<p>Also, anytime you mention road courses, you have to mention Boris Said&#8217;s name. He could also be considered.</p>
<p>Earnhardt Jr said:</p>
<blockquote><p>This No. 5 team carries a strong tradition and a lot of expectations, and we are fortunate to attract such quality talent to help carry on that tradition. We had a similar set-up with this team last year, and we were able to go to Victory Lane twice. Obviously with this driver line-up, there&#8217;s no reason we can&#8217;t exceed last year&#8217;s win total.</p></blockquote>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kyle Busch dominated the Kroger 200 benefiting Riley Hospital for Children from O&#8217;Reilly Raceway Park, leading 197 of 200 laps to earn his sixth Nationwide series victory on the season. Ironically enough, Busch crushed the competition after <a href="http://lead-lap.mikejsmith.net/2008/07/23/nascar-cuts-toyota-horsepower-in-nationwide-series/">NASCAR cut Toyota&#8217;s horsepower</a>. So much for that.</p>
<p>The win marks Busch&#8217;s 15th win in NASCAR&#8217;s top three series this season. (Yawn!)</p>
<p><strong>Top 5:</strong> Busch, Colin Braun, Mike Bliss, Scott Wimmer, and Josh Wise.</p>
<p>Cale Gale, Landon Cassill, Joey Logano,  David Ragan, and Steve Wallace rounded out the top 10.</p>
<p><strong>Notables:</strong> Carl Edwards (11th), David Stremme (13th), Brian Keselowski (15th), Jason Leffler (16th), Clint Bowyer (18th), Brad Keselowski (19th), David Reutimann (26th), and Kelly Bires (36th).</p>
<p>Give a call to Colin Braun and Josh Wise. Both of these young drivers had tremendous days running up near the front all race, and they held on to post good finishes. Brian Keselowski also posted a top 15.</p>
<p>Carl Edwards also deserves a nod for battling back from three laps down to rally to finish 11th.</p>
<p>Mike Bliss also gets a call. He spun early but battled back to finish third.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Johnny Benson held off Ron Hornaday to win the Power Stroke Diesel 200 from O&#8217;Reilly Raceway Park. With this victory, Benson now has three on the season, and is the current points leader. He&#8217;s won three of the last four races.</p>
<p>Hornaday dominated the early part of the race, but a series of cautions kept him from pulling away. Benson passed him on lap 162 and held on to win.</p>
<p><strong>Top 5:</strong> Benson, Hornaday, Erik Darnell, Matt Crafton, and Shelby Howard.</p>
<p>Brandan Gaughan, T.J. Bell, Kyle Busch, Donny Lia and Mike Skinner finished sixth through 10th, respectively.</p>
