Kasey Kahne held off points leader Tony Stewart on several late-race restarts, including one for a green-white-checkered finish, to win Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway. Kahne grabbed the lead for the final time with 34 laps to go and then beat Stewart to the finish line by 0.748 seconds for his first victory of the season and the 10th of his Sprint Cup Series career. He gave Richard Petty Motorsports its first win since “The King” merged his team with Gillett Evernham Motorsports before the start of the 2009 season. Prior to his win at Sonoma, Kahne had never finished in the top-10 in a NASCAR road-course race. His best finish was 14th, which came twice at Watkins Glen, NY. Kahne also ended a 37-race drought, with his last win coming in June 2008 at Pocono, while driving for Gillett. “It feels great, I can’t believe it,” Kahne said. Petty came to victory lane and congratulated Kahne, who gave the NASCAR legend his first team owner victory since John Andretti’s win in April 1999 at Martinsville. “I feel just as good as (Kahne) does,” Petty said. Boris Said turned Scott Speed around in the closing laps, which set up the two-lap overtime finish, the first since NASCAR amended its new double-file restart rule. Kahne moved in front of Stewart and quickly pulled away from there. “Stewart is just as good as they get out here,” Kahne said. “He was giving me tons of room so I didn’t get any rubber on my tires.” Stewart knew he had his hands full after Kahne took …

Are you a NASCAR fan? If so, and you want to let everyone know, then there is no better way than showing your allegiance than by using NASCAR personal checks. In the end, your finances might cause you anxiety, but there’s no reason that they have to be uninteresting.

More formally known as the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, NASCAR is only beat by professional football when it comes to getting more viewers. The loyal NASCAR fans will go hundreds of miles to see a race. Sometimes, a race can have as many as 100,000 people in attendance.

NASCAR drivers have become legends in their own right as well. Dale Earnhardt is now a revered sports hero, especially since he met his untimely death on the racetrack. Likewise, Richard Petty and Kyle Petty, Carl Edwards, and Jeff Gordon are virtual household names.

NASCAR is traced to stock car racing which got its start during Prohibition when drivers would bootleg alcohol. The drivers would reform their cars to make them drive more quickly so that they could better escape the police when they were being trailed.

Today, the racing is done on tracks instead of on country roads. Some of the most famed NASCAR tracks are positioned in Bristol, Atlanta, Daytona Beach, Indianapolis, and Talledega.

NASCAR has become so popular that it has taken on other forms of pop-culture as well. The highly successful Disney movie “Cars” is based on NASCAR. Another movie based on NASCAR is the hilarious comedy “Talladega Nights” starring Will Ferrell. In addition, country music comedian Cledus T. Judd recorded a spoof of Toby’s Keith “I Love This Bar” and changed the words to “I Love NASCAR.”

Several different check series available for you to consider. The trendy “NASCAR Collections” series contains four check images. You can experience a day at the races in Darlington, Daytona, Talladega, and Watkins Glen when you look at these checks. You can also purchase a coordinating checkbook cover and address labels with these checks, too.

Earnhardt fans can also buy limited Dale Earnhardt Sr. checks. These checks show an image of the renowned driver. In addition, Dale Earnhardt Jr. also has his own checks.

Images of some of the sport’s most prominent racetracks including Daytona, Talladega, California Speedway and Michigan International can be found on the NASCAR Racetracks check series.

You can purchase matching coordinates for most the check series.

If you get your checks online from a secure website you can save up to 50% off of what you might have spent at your local bank branch. Besides that, you will have more variety to pick from. It can be annoying to go to your bank, only to find out that their stock is limited and that it will take weeks for your checks to come. By purchasing the online, though, you’ll simply have to wait around 5 days.

By JENNA FRYER (AP) INDIANAPOLIS — Jimmie Johnson grabbed an improbable third victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway when a speeding penalty to Juan Pablo Montoya blew Sunday’s race wide open. Montoya led 116 laps and had a 5-second lead when he headed to pit road for a routine stop with 35 laps remaining. NASCAR flagged him for speeding on his way in, and the penalty knocked him out of contention. “I swear on my children and my wife that I was not speeding!” he shouted over his radio …

While a majority of automakers are bailing out of the Tokyo Motor Show, it is nice to see that there will indeed be a few new models to look at when it comes to be show time. One such vehicle will be a special edition sports car from he light weight English race car builders at Lotus. While the boffins from across the pond have already engineered every unnecessary ounce out of the Exige in the hopes of creating a hard core driving experience, this particularly dark model focuses on making the little Lotus as sinister looking as it is lethal. The special edition Tokyo Motor Show Lotus Exige is named the Scura, which is the Italian word for dark, due to its dramatic black bodywork and a GT3 inspired rear end.

Priced at around $75,000 the Exige Scura features a trio of Phantom Black stripes to break up the large panels of matte black paint, however the carbon fiber bits and suede wrapped racing buckets go a bit further towards showing off the Scura’s true purpose of being an all out competition vehicle. Only now instead of laughing at bright orange bodywork, other drivers will stay out of this Lotus’ way. Like all Exige models the Scura is powered by a supercharged four cylinder engine that delivers a maximum output of 257 HP 174 lb-ft of torque, while it can sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in only 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 152 MPH.

Lotus Cars unveils its latest special edition – the Exige Scura, so called due to its dramatic matt black and carbon fibre theme, at the Tokyo International Motorshow on 21st of October 2009.

Translated as ‘dark’ from Italian, the name ‘Scura’ reflects the stealth character of this already fierce looking Lotus and its stunning soft-feel matt black paint finish. Limited to just 35 cars globally, this Exige evokes a desire to ‘indulge your dark side’. This is a serious looking car and enhancements to performance and a reduction in weight from the production level Exige S means that the Exige Scura demands to be driven by a serious driver.

Contrasting high gloss ‘Phantom Black’ triple stripes run the length of the car and a carbon fibre front splitter, oil cooler inlet vanes, side airscoops and rear spoiler enhance the stunning distinction between the different textures and exaggerate the tactile quality of the velvety touch to the matt black paint finish.

Luke Bennett, Director of Lotus Cars said, “The Exige Scura is a stunning vehicle which offers an adrenaline fuelled experience and is a real head-turner! Our Exige customers choose Lotus because we deliver thrilling performance and dynamic design and this special edition fits the bill on both counts.
