FINALLY, THE WEEKEND ENDS...

Mr. Back-Flip wins the Sprint Cup race, and Smoke dominates in the Nationwide race at the Auto Club Speedway of Southern California...the Monday headlines as the weekend ends...

Gotta give props for Fox showing the race on a Monday afternoon...in the past, they've moved coverage to FX or Speed for a weekday race. Also, give them kudos for mentioning Dale Jarrett's new role for ESPN (I doubt the boys from Bristol would do the same). As for the race, it was just a question whether Jeff or Jimmie could stay out front, or if someone would take advantage of the much different track conditions which Carl Edwards did.

The Nationwide race was a Tony Stewart romp for the get-go...that's 2 in a row for Smoke. Curious to see if that changes his plans in upcoming weeks for the series, but I doubt it...

On to Vegas...glad they scrapped the week off between these two races...
