HIGH SIDE, LOW SIDE

The Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Jeff Wolf and Ron Kantowski each week select five highlights (Winner’s Circle) and five lowlights (Backmarkers) from the previous weekend in motor sports.
 

WINNER'S CIRCLE
Wolf says...

1. Kurt Busch: A holeshot on the way to winning the Cup race Sunday near Atlanta could help his NHRA drag racing debut this weekend in Gainesville, Fla.

2. Lucas Oil Off Road Series: The short-course stadium series drew about 4,000 spectators and nearly 200 racers despite having only three weeks to build the new course at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
 

  Kantowski says ...

1. Jimmie Come Lately: For letting somebody else win a NASCAR race for a change.

2. Kurt Busch: "Our Miller Lite Dodge was set up to be a utility-type car," said the Atlanta race winner from right here in Las Vegas. They should call that car "Cesar Tovar."
