[thumb:169:l:s=0:l=x]In what was a surprisingly racy environment at California Speedway last night, Kasey Kahne won Cup race at California in a fashion that returned to the teams look from earlier on this season. For Kahne, it couldn’t be coming at a better time.

Enjoy the tidbits, and thanks for reading.

[thumb:358:l:s=1:l=x]Working to try and get back into the swing of things (mainly from almost a week break, and then attention needing to be focused in other areas of the Thunder Lounge), we find ourselves on the front porch of Richmond International Raceway for what has been a weekend in the making since the cars shut-off at Homestead last November.

After winning the Busch race last night with a dominating performance, again Kevin found Victory Lane tonight in the Cup Race. This made for the third weekend in a row where both the Busch and Cup races have been won by the same driver.

In fact, it took less than 45 minutes after the checkers for it to be asked. No including one of the AP or Turner reporters writing it for a column today. What is it you ask? Read on to find out.
