Monday NASCAR Update

Congratulations to Greg Biffle (Nextel Cup), Mark Martin (Busch Series) and Steve Park (Craftsmen Truck Series) winners from this weekend's racing at the California Speedway in Fontana. All three were pretty typical California races, though the Busch race was delayed for a time due to a rain shower that strayed over the track from the nearby mountains.

This week the Nextel Cup and Truck series are off, and the Busch Series will be racing for the first time in Mexico City. Over 300,000 fans are expected to attend the road course race this coming Sunday.

With the exception of some exhibition races in Japan a few years ago, this is NASCAR's first foray out of the U.S., and the first time a points paying race has been held outside the country. There is talk that races will be added in Canada next year. The sport just gets bigger and bigger.
