When you think of Vegas you think of Casino's, Elvis and Wayne Newton. Well this weekend NASCAR invades the city in the desert. Las Vegas Motor Speedway dubbed the Diamond in the Desert, will hold the Shelby 427 on Sunday. This is considered the home track of the Busch brother, they have been pretty successful there. Matt Kenseth goes for his 3rd straight win. Matt Kenseth not really known for winning races in the past, he has always been a consistent driver but wouldn't really win a lot of races.

In 2003 he won the then Nextel Cup Championship despite only winning one race that season. He did win 5 races in his rookie season of 2002, but wasn't too consistent that year. Now they look to finish races in the top 10 and accumulate points. We'll see how this season goes, will he stay consistently in the top ten or be erratic and go for wins. We'll just have to wait and see. For this race I would look for someone with the last name Busch to win, until next time, I'm Rubba Shoes Corey, keeping it real.

OK. Week two into the NASCAR season. It is off to Fontana, California for the Auto Club 500. Matt Kenseth enters this week in first place after his rain shortened win of the Daytona 500. Controversy over what Dale did and we'll see how that all plays out with him and Brian Vickers. The California track is the sister track of Michigan Speedway, which because of restrictor plates at Talladega and Daytona is the fastest track on the circuit. California is pretty close. We should see some good three wide racing going on today.

It is a late start for us on the East Coast. I think they are saying 5 PM but after what happen last week at Daytona (said 2 and didn't start until 3:40) I expect a 6 PM or later start to the race. OH well, got to get used to it. Carl Edwards will try to defend his win from last years race. Jimmie Johnson won the race at this track last August. Good luck to all in the WPDR Fantasy Nascar this weekend. I am trying to get my first win this weekend against my Father-in-law. Until next time I am Rubba Shoes Corey, keepin' it real.
