Casey Mears Wins in Charlotte
Sorry for the delayed post about the race, long weekend and all. Casey Mears knocked out the first win of his career, and another win for Hendrick Motorsports. Can they be stopped this year? With another COT race coming up, it doesn’t look good for the competition, but Denny Hamlin has been running as good as the Hendricks cars, just having problems finishing, so Dover could be someone else’s first win in a COT car. JJ Yeley had a great finish and Brian Vickers had the best finish all year for a Toyota, and how about Kyle Petty. If any driver deserves some success in Nascar it is Kyle Petty, but maybe he will go on to a bigger career as a spokesman for the sport or a commentator in the booth.
