Upcoming Events in the World of NASCAR

Next week, the NASCAR Nextel Cup teams head west to the golden state of California to race in the Dodge/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway. Infineon Raceway is one of two road courses on the NASCAR Nextel Cup circuit that helps add another dimension to an already challenging schedule. NASCAR is the only American series that offers up superspeedway, short track, and road course racing.

The grueling 1.99 mile road course of Infineon is a challenge to both drivers and cars alike. The track offers up 12 turns and varrying elevetaion changes. Often times, even the most skilled road-course drivers suffer setbacks due to transmission or other mechanical failures. Expect to see drivers lose gears as they down and up shift their 3000lb, 850 horsepower rockets around the track.

Next week at Infineon, expect Jeff Gordon & Tony Stewart to battle it out. Of the current drivers, both Gordon and Stewart rank in the top 5 for career finishes at road course events.

Also expect the following drivers to do well next week:

Other drivers to note:

Mark Martin - Average Finish 9th
Kevin Harvick - Average Finish 13th
Robby Gordon - Average Finish 14th
