"Yeah, it's ugly," Clark says of his home away from home at the track. "But we forget about how ugly it is because we have a really good time in it when we come to MIS. Coming to MIS is our vacation. We love it -we wouldn't miss it. It's our time away from it all."

Clark and his wife bought the big yellow and black eyesore for $1000 eight years ago and have enjoyed "The Bucksnort Lodge" at every MIS race weekend for the past six years.

Four - time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon hosted the eighth annual Gordon's Celebrity Bowl while in Indianapoils last week, raising $250,000 for Riley Hospital for Children. Prior to the event Gordon spent time with patients and their families at the Riley Hospital for Children Cancer Center.

“We are very excited to have raised $1.5 million in support of Riley Hospital for Children during this event's eight-year history," said Gordon, who grew up in Pittsboro, Indiana. “Funds raised from this year’s tournament will support their ongoing research for pediatric cancer.”

Starting fifth in Sunday’s 16th Running of the Brickyard 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event, David Reutimann was able to inch closer to grabbing a spot in the top-12.

With the passing of each race weekend bringing the drivers closer to the Chase cutoff date, points position is becoming more valuable. Moving up one spot to 13th due to his eighth place finish on Sunday, Reutimann now sits 68 points behind Matt Kenseth in 12th place.

Battling handling issues for much of the race, Reutimann found the No. 00 Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota either too tight, or too loose. Able to run as good as the leading cars, Reutimann’s crew chief Rodney Childers was able to ease the frustration of his driver.

 Craig Dollansky's first season with Kasey Kahne Racing has had its ups and downs. With 27 top-10 and 11 top-5 finishes, Dollansky has certainly been a contender on many occasions but much to his frustration Victory Lane had eluded him. That all changed Sunday night at Lebanon Valley Speedway in West Lebanon, NY, as Dollansky, starting second, used a strong start to jump pole-sitter Steve Kinser and led all 25 laps to take his first win of the year and 29th of his World of Outlaws Sprint series career. Kinser faced a tough challenge from Danny Lasoski for second, but ultimately held him off to take the position with Lasoski finishing third to round out the podium.

After the race Dollansky was both excited and relieved by the win, having watched his teamate Joey Saldana take 12 victories already this season: “It's great to be back in Victory Lane,” said Dollansky. “My crew has been working so hard, I am so happy to win this one for them. Kasey Kahne Racing is a great organization. We made some changes that seem to be suiting me better. These guys work hard as does everyone that stands behind this team. I am just so glad that we got our first win.”
