NASCAR NEXTEL CUP
Citizens Bank 400
Site: Brooklyn, Mich. Schedule: Friday, qualifying (Speed Channel, 12 p.m.); Sunday, race (TNT, 9:30 p.m.). Track: Michigan International Speedway (D-shaped oval, 2 miles, 18-degree banking in turns). Race distance: 400 miles, 200 laps. Last race: With his brakes failing and rain falling, Jeff Gordon held off a charging Ryan Newman to win at Pocono Raceway and give Hendrick Motorsports its 10th win in the last 12 Nextel Cup races. The race was delayed three hours by rain, starting close to the time the race usually ends. Gordon won for the fourth time in the last seven races to go along with Victory Lane celebrations at Phoenix, Talladega and Darlington. Last year: Kasey Kahne won from the pole again, helped this time by a timely caution flag and a downpour that ended the 3M Performance 400 at Michigan International Speedway 71 laps early. Fast facts: Gordon and Jimmie Johnson both have a series-leading four victories this season. … Newman is mired in a 59-race winless drought, but he does have back-to-back second-place finishes and five top-10 placings in his last six starts. … Kurt Busch was docked 100 driver points Friday, fined $100,000 and placed on probation until the end of the year for reckless driving and endangering one of Tony Stewart’s crew members on pit road. … Jack Roush has nine career victories at Michigan, second all-time to the Wood Brothers (11). Roush racers Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle each have two wins at the track. .. Carl Edwards is expected to make his 100th career Cup start this weekend at the site of his first career victory (2004). … Terry Labonte will come out of retirement long enough to replace team owner and driver Michael Waltrip behind the wheel for the two Cup road races this season. Labonte retired from Cup races near the end of last season, but Michael Waltrip Racing announced Tuesday he will drive the team’s No. 55 Toyota Camry at Infineon Raceway on June 24 and at Watkins Glen on Aug. 12. Next race: Toyota/Save Mart 350, June 24, Sonoma, Calif.
NASCAR BUSCH
Meijer 300
Site: Sparta, Ky. Schedule: Saturday, qualifying (ESPN2, 3 p.m.), race (ESPN2, 5 p.m.). Track: Kentucky Speedway (oval, 1.5 miles, 14-degree banking in turns). Race distance: 300 miles, 200 laps. Last race: Series leader Carl Edwards passed Matt Kenseth with 13 laps left and won the Dover 200 under caution for his third victory of the season. Denny Hamlin, the pole-sitter, finished second and Scott Wimmer was third. Last year: David Gilliland became the first non-Nextel Cup driver to win a Busch race in 2006, passing J.J. Yeley with 10 laps to go and holding on to take the Meijer 300. Fast facts: Edwards has 12 career Busch wins and 11 top-10 finishes this season. He’s 472 points ahead of Kevin Harvick. … There has never been a repeat winner or pole-sitter through the first six Busch events at Kentucky. … Travis Kvapil was a late substitute last weekend for Jon Wood in the No. 47 Ford after Wood complained of headaches in Friday’s practice. Kvapil finished 31st. Developmental driver Kelly Bires will replace Wood this weekend. Next race: At&T 250, June 23, West Allis, Wis.
NASCAR CRAFTSMAN TRUCKS
Michigan 200
Site: Brooklyn, Mich. Schedule: Saturday, qualifying, 8 a.m., race (Speed Channel, 11:30 a.m.). Track: Michigan International Speedway (D-shaped oval, 2 miles, 18-degree banking in turns). Race distance: 200 miles, 100 laps. Last race: Todd Bodine beat Mike Skinner to the checkered flag again at Texas, holding on to win after another green-white-checker finish in the Sam’s Town 400. Bodine edged Skinner by 0.188 seconds for his 11th victory in the series, the first since Bodine made a last-lap pass and beat Skinner by 0.116 seconds last June at Texas in the closet finish at the 1 1/2 -mile track. They also finished 1-2 at Texas in November 2005. Last year: Johnny Benson finally broke through with a victory in the truck series, holding off a challenge from Mark Martin in a two-lap overtime shootout at Michigan International Speedway. The race was scheduled to end on lap 100, but the late caution set up the dramatic two-lap, green-white-checker finish that began on lap 101. Martin did what he could, but Benson easily held off the No. 6 Ford F-150, winning by 0.112 seconds — about two truck lengths. Fast facts: Skinner maintained an 82-point lead over Ron Hornaday in the standings, but had his streak of six consecutive poles snapped by Bodine last weekend. … Terry Cook is expected to become the third driver in series history to compete in 250 career races this weekend. Rick Crawford and Jack Sprague share the record of 256 starts. … Benson has four wins since his Michigan victory last year, but none this season. Next race: Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200, June 22, West Allis, Wis.
FORMULA ONE
Site: Indianapolis Schedule: Saturday, qualifying, (Speed Channel, 8 a.m.); Sunday, race (FOX, 10 a.m.). Track: Indianapolis Motor Speedway (road course, 2.606 miles, 13 turns). Race distance: 190.238 miles, 73 laps. Last race: Rookie Lewis Hamilton won the Canadian Grand Prix, the first victory for a black driver in Formula One. In a race filled with caution flags, the 22-year-old Englishman won in his sixth F1 start and now has six consecutive top-three finishes to take the series points lead. Last year: Michael Schumacher won the U.S. Grand Prix for the fifth time. Schumacher became the first driver in any series to win five races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Schumacher, who led 42 of the 73 laps, was followed across the finish line by Felipe Massa — 7.9 seconds later — for a 1-2 Ferrari finish. Fernando Alonso was never in contention and wound up fifth. Fast facts: The 2005 event was marred when seven teams boycotted the race in a tire safety dispute. Schumacher won his first race of that season, two days after his brother Ralf crashed during a practice session while driving on the questionable Michelin tires. … Alonso will try to rebound from a tough afternoon in Montreal. He made a mistake on the start when he drove off the course in Turn 1 and was later hit with a penalty for pitting too soon during one of the full-course cautions. He made two other off-course excursions before being passed two laps from the finish and finishing seventh. … Robert Kubica was released from the hospital Monday, one day after a frightening crash at the Canadian Grand Prix left him with a slight concussion and sprained ankle. Kubica’s car flew head-on into a wall during the 27th lap after coming into contact with Jarno Trulli’s car. Kubica hopes to be behind the wheel this weekend. Next race: French Grand Prix, July 1, Magny Cours
CHAMP CAR WORLD SERIES
Last race: Sebastien Bourdais passed pole-sitter Justin Wilson to start the 56th lap Sunday and cruised to his third straight victory, and the Grand Prix of Portland introduced Champ Car’s first standing start without a hitch. It was Champ Car’s first use of a standing start, where drivers take off from a dead stop like in Formula One. Champ Car has traditionally used rolling starts. Next race: Grand Prix of Cleveland, June 24.
INDY RACING LEAGUE
Last race: Sam Hornish Jr. finally got in front and the defending champion stayed there to get his first victory of the season. Hornish led 159 of 228 laps in a dominating race and held off a late charge from a lucky Tony Kanaan and Danica Patrick to win the Bombardier Learjet 550 at Texas Motor Speedway — his IndyCar Series-best 19th career victory. Next race: Iowa Corn 250, June 24, Newton
NHRA
Last event: Larry Dixon tied Kenny Bernstein with his 39th career Top Fuel title, beating points leader Rod Fuller to win the Torco Race Fuels Route 66 Nationals. Also winning titles were: Gary Scelzi in Funny Car, Pro Stock champ Jeg Coughlin Jr. and reigning Pro Stock Motorcycle champ Andrew Hines. Next event: SuperNationals, June 24, Englishtown, N.J.
