Subway Fresh 500

[fullSPEED]

On Sunday, the NASCAR Nextel Cup goes to Phoenix International Raceway for the Subway Fresh 500. It’s the first-ever night race at the one-mile oval track. Jimmie Johnson and Greg Biffle remained one-two in the Nextel Cup standings, even as the rest of the top 10 suffered wild swings, blown engines and crashes last week. Rusty Wallace managed to keep his nose clean, finished tenth in last week’s race, and jumped four positions to third overall. Defending series champion Kurt Busch used a seventh-place finish to leap five places while Sterling Marlin made the biggest move using a top five finish to jump six spots. The big losers were Tony Stewart, defending TMS champion Elliott Sadler and Kasey Kahne.
