Dario Franchitti claimed his 3rd win of the season after he was able to hold off Ryan Briscoe to win in Toronto.

“It’s 10 years since my first one here and it feels good,” said Franchitti. “I guess we timed it right with strategy.”

It was a very close race with Dario Franchitti only beating runner-up Ryan Briscoe by 1.6745 seconds.

“It was a tough day. I got run into going into Turn 3 on the first lap and cut a tire,” Briscoe said. “That really put us back. We made some pretty dramatic changes to the car coming into the race today. We just had our fingers crossed going into it. The car felt awesome and we were able to put in some really good lap times. It was a fun race with lots of passing.”

David Reutimann earned his first career Sprint Cup Series race, winning the rain-shortened Coca-Cola 600 on Monday.

“It wasn’t the prettiest win, but somebody has to win,” Reutimann said. “When you envision yourself winning your first Sprint Cup race, you envision it different. But it’s so hard to win these deals, we’ll take it any way we can.”

The victory was also the first for Michael Waltrip Racing.

“Waltrip gave me an opportunity to go racing in the Cup series when nobody would have thought of giving me an opportunity,” Reutimann said.

Ryan Newman finished 2nd with Robby Gordon rounding out the top 3.

Kurt Busch ended his 29-race winless streak after winning the rain shortened, Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

“Sometimes you just don’t win ‘em the right way,” Busch said. “I think we can honestly say that, but we had a lot of work and a lot of effort put in today and we’ll take it.”

“Once I saw that we were leading and we were out in front with 26 [laps] to go, that good old Kurt Busch jumped up on the wheel and I told myself, ‘Don’t let your team down. This is what you live for. This is what you race for, and that is to get into Victory Lane.’”

Busch better start counting his lucky stars because without any rain, he wasn’t winning this race.

After losing 76 consecutive races, Dale Earnhardt Jr. grabbed a victory at the Michigan International Speedway.

“I can understand how it might look, especially if you’re not Dale Jr. fans,” Earnhardt said. “I know exactly what they’re going to say Monday.

“I mean, my fans are happy and I’m happy for them. The other half are going to tear this apart on how we won this race. But I got the trophy and I got the points. I got to see my team and my owner and my family tonight as happy as they’ve been in a long time. … It’s a pretty big day for me.”

Jr. went the last 55 laps, including three laps of overtime, on the 2 mile track without stopping for gas but the gamble paid off big time.

“We came in on that last stop and we were going to be about six laps short, and I saved six laps of gas,” Earnhardt said. “So, [we were] just real lucky. I have to hand it to [crew chief] Tony [Eury] Jr. for being a risk-taker. … He’s done a good job this year getting us good finishes, better finishes than we should probably have.”

No guts, no glory. Congrats Jr.
