Kyle Busch gets SpeedFest win in Georgia

January 30, 2012 Leave a comment

The 2012 CRA Super Series SpeedFest 200 may have started at a new venue, but for Kyle Busch and his No. 51 KBM Camry the race ended in a familiar location – Victory Lane. Busch, who won back-to-back SpeedFests in 2009 and 2010 when the event was held at Lanier National Speedway in Braselton, Ga., led 86 of the final 100 laps of Sunday’s race at Watermelon Capital Speedway in Cordele, Ga. en route to his third career SpeedFest title.

“It feels good to be the SpeedFest 2012 winner and to get my first win as a member of the Monster Energy family of athletes,” said Busch. “It was an awesome weekend — the turnout in the grandstands was great and the car count was phenomenal. Everyone with the CRA Super Series does such a great job and I love competing in their events. I can’t say enough about Chris Gabehart and all the guys that work on this KBM Camry — they build fast cars that are a lot of fun to drive.”

NASCAR world in shock, Mark Martin joins Twitter

MARK MARTIN TAKES TO TWITTER
It started rather simply.

On the morning of Jan. 23, Mark Martin, dressed in his new firesuit, waited patiently in an office at Michael Waltrip Racing reading texts on his Sprint iPhone. An Aaron’s commercial was to begin filming in the shop a few minutes later.

A messenger brought in the word.

“Hey Mark, Michael just signed up you for Twitter and your address is @55markmartin.”

Martin looked up puzzled and simply said “OK…what does that mean?”

Within minutes Martin began Twitter lessons on his phone but was obviously still a bit unsure what his new boss just got him into.

“I don’t know about this,” said Martin, who begins his 30th Sprint Cup season in 2012.
