I am co-host of the syndicated radio show: ON PIT ROW. Charlie likes to call me an "idiot". I'm not an "idiot"; I just prefer not to let the facts get in the way of my opinions.

Kasey Kahne used some late race Tony Stewart bad luck to win on back to back weekends at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

Untitled PostAfter the last batch of gas and go stops for the leaders it looked for all the world like Stewart would get his first win of the season. Kahne’s pit crew took seven more seconds on pit lane to get the last bit of fuel into the Budweiser Charger than Stewart’s crew did and it looked as if that may end up being the margin of victory.

Stewart’s luck didn’t hold up as he blew a tire with three to go; allowing Kahne to seize his second victory in as many weeks and his first points paying win in fifty-three tries. Dale Earnhardt Jr. led for much of the middle of the race but he also had tire problems on lap 297; blowing a right rear, hitting the wall and being punted by JJ Yelley, forcing him to work his way back to the front.

“I was thinking second, and then I saw Tony slow up, I thought he was out of gas, and I couldn’t believe it. He went into Turn 1 and he was high (in the corner), and when I came off Turn 2 he was low and slow.”

Kahne is only the sixth driver to win the All-Star race and the 600 in the same year, joining Jimmy Johnson, who was the last to do it in 2003.

This all leads us to this week’s BUZZ ON PIT ROW:

Will Junior’s and Tony’s luck change before the end of the season?
