Saturday, Busch Series race

Kasey Kahne soared Saturday afternoon, notching his second career Busch Series victory -- the O'Reilly 300.


Very nice day here in Texas. Good crowds, very friendly .Going to a party in the infield later tonight. Change of plans: flying back to NY tomorrow night (vs. going to San Antonio on Monday.) So I'll be home sooner than expected.

Friday IROC Race

Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais became just the fourth foreign-born driver to win an IROC (International Race of Champions) race, leading the final 22 laps Friday night at Texas after Kurt Busch suffered the same fate that has plagued him in the NASCAR Nextel Cup series.

Bourdais also held off a late charge by NASCAR's Mark Martin, the winningest driver in 31 years of the International Race of Champions. Martin, who started at the back of the 12-car field, finished second.

I watched the race from the top floor of a condo building at the track. Pretty cool, amazing view of the entire track and the infield.
