Upcoming Events in the World of NASCAR

We have a double header this week. First the rained out Golden Corral 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. will be held today at 11:00am EST.

Expect another strong showing from the Roush drivers as they tend to dominate the 1 1/2 to 2 mile tracks. Of the current drivers, Carl Edwards has had the most succes. In 3 starts at Atlanta, he has had 2 wins!

It will be interesting to see if Carl can recapture the glory he found in Atlanta during his rookie season, and blister the field in the Golden Corral 500.

Other drivers to note:

Kasey Kahne
Jimmie Johnson
Greg Biffle
Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Then next weekend, the Nextel Cup and Busch teams head to Bristol Motor Speedway for the Food City 500 & Sharpie Mini 300. The thunder will be rumbling in the valley as 43 teams crowd the half-mile track where tempers are sure to flair!

Check out if Tony Stewart can maintain his cool on a track that he has not faired well at. In 14 starts at Bristol, his average finish is 16th!.
