Race Weekend - 1/23

NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown - Toyota Speedway at Irwindale, CA
Saturday night, Matt Kobyluck became the first two time winner of the Toyota All-Star Showdown. He also won in 2006. It was a wild finish with Joey Logano sliding into Peyton Sellers for the lead in turn 4 of the last lap. Kobyluck crossed the finish just a hair after Logano. However, Logano was penalized for rough driving and finished 40th.

Rolex 24 - Daytona International Speedway
Sunday, David Donohue won the Rolex 24 with the team of Buddy Rice, Antonio Garcia and Darren Law. Donohue started from the pole. The margin of victory (.167 seconds) will go down as the closest finish in the 24 hour race's 47 year history at Daytona International Speedway. Donohue passed Juan Pablo Montoya with just 41 minutes from the finish. There was also a record 25 full course cautions.
