The win also marked the first time Toyota won a Sprint Cup series event, the first NASCAR win for a foreign manufacturer in over 50 years, reports the AP. More »

      Spitzer Rolls With NASCAR Crowd

      (Newser) - The Times noticed an unlikely NASCAR fan at this weekend's race in upstate New York—Governor Eliot Spitzer, who was no doubt running slightly left of the pack. Spitzer, whose brother-in-law is an engineer for NASCAR's Hendrick Motorsports, said he was supporting his favorite driver, Hendrick driver Jeff Gordon. The Pinceton-cum-Harvard Democrat in pressed trousers stood out in the macho crowd. More »

      Champ Claims NASCAR is Rigged

      (Newser) - Two-time champion Tony Stewart charges that NASCAR is rigged like pro wrestling. He said officials control races by throwing bogus caution flags for debris on the track. “They can almost dictate the race instead of the drivers doing it. It’s happened too many times this year," said Stewart on his Sirius Satellite Radio radio show. More »
