First Timer

Stephen Leicht took his first NBS victory at Kentucky last night and as much as I like Cousin Carl, I was happy to see "Blinky" Wallace take him out to give a young Busch regular a chance to win and break the whacker's streak. Kentucky is one of, if not the only track where this can be done because the majority of Cup guys are in Michigan. Stephen is a nice kid with a bright future.

Travis Kvapil did an awesome job winning the NCTS race at MIS yesterday. For a few brief minutes I thought Shrub had it but his truck was too loose and Travis got by him easily on the final lap to win for the first time since Sept. 18, 2004. Mark Martin had the truck for Wood Brother's but his engine went.
