Ricky Rudd, NASCAR's Ironman with a record 656 consecutive starts, led much of the race but slipped to fourth after a late caution and a costly pit stop. Mark Martin won, flashing to the finish and celebrating in a showy victory lane with his No. 6 Ford.
Three NASCAR events unfold this weekend at Dover Downs and Lowe's Motor Speedway. MBNA Platinum 400 features veteran Mark Martin aiming to end young-driver dominance. MBNA Platinum 200 notes Richard Childress Racing form and Jason Keller leading points. MBNA America 200 at Dover previews Craftsman Truck action with Mike Bliss the May 19 Rocky Mountain winner and Scott Riggs defending truck speed records.
Winston Cup standings list Sterling Marlin leading with 1,77 points followed by Matt Kenseth and Mark Martin. Busch Series shows Jack Sprague and Scott Riggs near the top with Jason Keller leading. Truck Series features Mike Bliss and David Starr in early positions across the table.
Discover Card will sponsor the No 26 Ford for six Winston Cup races after signing with the team earlier this year following Kmart bankruptcy. Todd Bodine will drive the No 26, returning to NASCAR with the sponsor marking its first racing involvement. Travis Carter noted the move amid a cautious economy. No. 66 Ford has not run since February as sponsors shifted.
Veteran Mark Martin used daring passes through lapped traffic to beat Kenseth by a car length at Lowe’s Motor Speedway for his 11th Lowe’s win and first Coke 600. Johnson led early but pit miscues doomed the Young Guns as Craven took third and Rudd secured Ironman honors with his 696th start.
